Lemmatize Text in Google Sheets & Excel

What this pulls

Reduce words to their base forms by the row. Returns lemmatized text down a column — 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

Clean a column of text

Fill =VERVE("lemmatizer", "The cats ran from door to door", "field", "found") beside messy text and get the normalized, analyzed, or translated version back — data cleaning without leaving the grid.

Analyze at scale

Score or classify a whole column of responses, reviews, or messages in one fill instead of one-by-one.

Compose with other formulas

Nest Lemmatize Text's output inside your existing SUM, IF, or CONCAT logic like any other cell value.

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("lemmatizer", "The cats ran from door to door", "field", "found")

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("lemmatizer", "The cats ran from door to door", "field", "found")

Fields you can pull

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

LemmasPremium
=VERVE("lemmatizer", "The cats ran from door to door", "field", "lemmas")

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

How do I pull Lemmatize Text into Google Sheets?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("lemmatizer", "The cats ran from door to door") 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.

Which Lemmatize Text fields need a paid plan?

lemmas is 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.

Can I fill a whole column of Lemmatize Text at once?

Yes. Put your text values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.

How many credits does each Lemmatize Text 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.

Does Lemmatize Text 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.
