Generate Bingo Cards in Google Sheets & Excel

Q: How do I pull Generate Bingo Cards into Google Sheets?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "field", "card") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.

Q: What data can I pull from Generate Bingo Cards?

Generate Bingo Cards returns card, totalCells, winningPatterns, image.format and size, plus 1 more — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.

Q: Can I narrow what Generate Bingo Cards returns?

Yes — Generate Bingo Cards takes "size", "freeSpace" and "image" as optional inputs. They go in as "name", value pairs after the required ones, in any order, so =VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "size", "5") shapes the result without changing anything else.

Q: Which Generate Bingo Cards fields need a paid plan?

html, image.imageName, image.downloadURL and image.expires are included from the Starter plan up. On the Free plan the cell returns #PREMIUM(field) rather than a wrong or empty value, so it's always obvious which one to upgrade for. Every other field works on Free.

Q: Can I fill a whole column of Generate Bingo Cards at once?

Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell and one call returns a value for every row, or drag =VERVE("bingocardgenerator") down like any spreadsheet function.

Q: How many credits does each Generate Bingo Cards cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 1 credit. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.

Q: Does Generate Bingo Cards work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.

What this pulls

Drop a fresh bingo card into your spreadsheet. Builds a randomized 3x3–10x10 grid in your cells — Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 1 credit per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

One value per row

Fill =VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "field", "size") down a column and Generate Bingo Cards returns a result for every row — a batch of live values in a single drag, no code.

Enrich data in place

Add Generate Bingo Cards beside a table you already have to append its output right where your data lives, then sort, filter, or chart on it.

Stays fresh on its own

Set the sheet to refresh on a schedule and the generate bingo cards values keep themselves current without anyone re-typing.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "field", "size")

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("bingocardgenerator", "field", "size")

Optional inputs

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

size
Card size (3x3 to 10x10)
=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "size", "5")
freeSpace
Include free space in center
=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "freeSpace", "true")
imagePremium
Set to true to generate a downloadable bingo card image
=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "image", "true")

Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Card
=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "field", "card")
HtmlPremium
=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "field", "html")
Total Cells
=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "field", "totalCells")
Winning Patterns
=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "field", "winningPatterns")
Image › Image NamePremium
=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "field", "image.imageName")
Image › Format
=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "field", "image.format")
Image › Download URLPremium
=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "field", "image.downloadURL")
Image › ExpiresPremium
=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "field", "image.expires")
Size
=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "field", "size")
Free Space
=VERVE("bingocardgenerator", "field", "freeSpace")

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans
