Ways to use it

Conditions per location

Put your cities in a column and fill =VERVE("moonrisemoonset", 37.7749, -122.4194) beside them — every row shows live conditions, so an ops or travel sheet reflects the real world, not last week.

Logistics & scheduling

Gate a plan on the weather: read the forecast into a cell and let an IF formula flag rows that need a backup date.

Auto-refreshing board

Set the sheet to refresh on a schedule and Moonrise & Moonset keeps a status board current without anyone re-typing a thing.

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("moonrisemoonset", 37.7749, -122.4194)

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("moonrisemoonset", 37.7749, -122.4194)

Optional inputs

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

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

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Moonrise & Moonset into a spreadsheet?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("moonrisemoonset", 37.7749, -122.4194) into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.

How many credits does each Moonrise & Moonset 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 Moonrise & Moonset at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("moonrisemoonset", 37.7749, -122.4194) down like any spreadsheet function.

Does Moonrise & Moonset 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?

Moonrise & Moonset 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; Moonrise & Moonset is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
