Extract Parts of Speech, answered
Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.
How do I pull Extract Parts of Speech into Google Sheets?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("partsofspeech", "My friend from college hails from a small countryside village located at the heart of the state. During the last summer vacation, I had an opportunity to visit my friend in his village. I packed up my belongings and boarded the bus bound for the village", "verbs", "field", "result") 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.
What data can I pull from Extract Parts of Speech?
Extract Parts of Speech returns result and partofspeech — 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.
Which Extract Parts of Speech fields need a paid plan?
count 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 Extract Parts of Speech 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 Extract Parts of Speech 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 Extract Parts of Speech 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.
