OFAC Sanctions Screening in Google Sheets & Excel — =VERVE("sanctionscreening", "Banco Nacional de Cuba")

What this pulls

Screen a column of customer names against the OFAC SDN list. =VERVE("sanctionscreening", …) returns scored matches right in the cell — 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

Live financial model

Drop =VERVE("sanctionscreening", "Banco Nacional de Cuba") into a cell and your model reads the latest number every refresh — no more pasting figures from a browser tab into a stale sheet.

Track a whole watchlist

Fill a column beside your list of tickers or currencies and every row updates together, so a hundred-row watchlist stays current on its own.

Dashboards that don't rot

Point a chart at the cell =VERVE("sanctionscreening", "Banco Nacional de Cuba") feeds and the chart re-draws as the data moves — a finance dashboard that's live instead of a Monday-morning snapshot.

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("sanctionscreening", "Banco Nacional de Cuba")

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("sanctionscreening", "Banco Nacional de Cuba")

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

OFAC Sanctions Screening, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull OFAC Sanctions Screening into a spreadsheet?

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

How many credits does each OFAC Sanctions Screening 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 OFAC Sanctions Screening at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("sanctionscreening", "Banco Nacional de Cuba") down like any spreadsheet function.

Does OFAC Sanctions Screening 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?

OFAC Sanctions Screening 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; OFAC Sanctions Screening is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
