=VERVE("jsontocsv", "[object Object],[object Object]")

Flatten JSON into CSV from a formula. =VERVE("jsontocsv", A2) turns an array of objects in a cell into rows and columns — 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.

A real example — the input you type, and the values you can pull from it. Click any cell to see the formula behind it.

Convert by the row

Fill =VERVE("jsontocsv", "[{"name":"John","age":30},{"name":"Jane","age":25}]") beside a column of input and get the converted value back for every row — a batch conversion done in one drag.

No parser, no export

Turn one format into another right in the cell instead of round-tripping through a script or an online tool.

Feed the next step

Pipe the converted value straight into the formula or chart that needs it.

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("jsontocsv", "[object Object],[object Object]")
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("jsontocsv", "[object Object],[object Object]")

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

  • delimiter

    The delimiter to use in the CSV

    =VERVE("jsontocsv", "[object Object],[object Object]", "delimiter", ",")
  • include_header

    Whether to include column headers in the output (default: true)

    =VERVE("jsontocsv", "[object Object],[object Object]", "include_header", "true")

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

  • Row count
    =VERVE("jsontocsv", "[object Object],[object Object]", "field", "row_count")
  • Column count
    =VERVE("jsontocsv", "[object Object],[object Object]", "field", "column_count")
  • Columns
    =VERVE("jsontocsv", "[object Object],[object Object]", "field", "columns")
  • Csv
    =VERVE("jsontocsv", "[object Object],[object Object]", "field", "csv")

Convert JSON to CSV in a Cell, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Convert JSON to CSV in a Cell into a spreadsheet?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("jsontocsv", "[{"name":"John","age":30},{"name":"Jane","age":25}]") into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.
How many credits does each Convert JSON to CSV in a Cell 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 Convert JSON to CSV in a Cell at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("jsontocsv", "[{"name":"John","age":30},{"name":"Jane","age":25}]") down like any spreadsheet function.
Does Convert JSON to CSV in a Cell 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?
Convert JSON to CSV in a Cell 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; Convert JSON to CSV in a Cell is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.

Put Convert JSON to CSV in a Cell in your next spreadsheet. Add the extension, paste the formula, and the cell keeps itself current.
