fx=VERVE("readabilityscore", "Western astrology is founded on the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies such as the Sun, Moon and planets, which are analysed by their movement through signs of the zodiac (twelve spatial divisions of the ecliptic) and by their aspects (based on geometric angles) relative to one another.")
What this pulls
Score readability by the row. =VERVE("readabilityscore", A2) returns grade level and target audience 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("readabilityscore", "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. This sentence contains every letter of the alphabet.") 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 Readability Score'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.
fx=VERVE("readabilityscore", "Western astrology is founded on the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies such as the Sun, Moon and planets, which are analysed by their movement through signs of the zodiac (twelve spatial divisions of the ecliptic) and by their aspects (based on geometric angles) relative to one another.")
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.
fx=VERVE.CALL("readabilityscore", "Western astrology is founded on the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies such as the Sun, Moon and planets, which are analysed by their movement through signs of the zodiac (twelve spatial divisions of the ecliptic) and by their aspects (based on geometric angles) relative to one another.")
Fields you can pull
Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Readability Score, answered
Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.
How do I pull Readability Score into a spreadsheet?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("readabilityscore", "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. This sentence contains every letter of the alphabet.") into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.
How many credits does each Readability Score 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 Readability Score at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("readabilityscore", "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. This sentence contains every letter of the alphabet.") down like any spreadsheet function.
Does Readability Score 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?
Readability Score 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; Readability Score is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
