Inflation Rates in Google Sheets & Excel — =VERVE("inflation", "US", 2023)

What this pulls

Pull inflation by the row. =VERVE("inflation", "US", 2023) returns annual inflation and CPI per country — Sheets or Excel, auto-refreshing.

It's one of 300+ 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

Live financial model

Drop =VERVE("inflation", "US", 2023) into a cell and your model reads the latest number every refresh — no more pasting figures from a browser tab into a stale sheet.

Track a whole watchlist

Fill a column beside your list of tickers or currencies and every row updates together, so a hundred-row watchlist stays current on its own.

Dashboards that don't rot

Point a chart at the cell =VERVE("inflation", "US", 2023) feeds and the chart re-draws as the data moves — a finance dashboard that's live instead of a Monday-morning snapshot.

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.

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same function, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Drag to fill a whole column.

Fields you can pull

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

Country Name=VERVE("inflation", "US", 2023, "countryName")
Year=VERVE("inflation", "US", 2023, "year")
Inflation Rate=VERVE("inflation", "US", 2023, "inflationRate")
Cpi Index=VERVE("inflation", "US", 2023, "cpiIndex")

Inflation Rates, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Inflation Rates into a spreadsheet?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("inflation", "US", 2023) into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.

How many credits does each Inflation Rates cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 1 credit. Filling a column of ten rows costs ten times that; a cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a static sheet doesn't keep charging.

Can I fill a whole column at once?

Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell — e.g. point Inflation Rates at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("inflation", "US", 2023) down like any spreadsheet function.

Does Inflation Rates work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes. It's the same =VERVE() function with the same arguments and the same key in both — build a sheet in one and it behaves identically in the other.

How current is the data?

Inflation Rates is served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the refresh cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes.

Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?

VerveSheets runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Inflation Rates is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
