Parse SRV Records in Google Sheets & Excel

What this pulls

Break down SRV records by the row. Splits a record into service, port and target fields — 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.

See it in a cell

A real example — the input you type, and the values you can pull from it. Click any cell to see the formula behind it.

Ways to use it

Look up facts in the grid

Fill =VERVE("srvparser", "_http._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 60 80 server.example.com.", "field", "raw_record") beside your keys and pull the reference value for each into its own cell — one trusted lookup per row.

Standardize a dataset

Replace hand-maintained lookup tables with a live one so your reference values never drift out of date.

Join to your data

Use Parse SRV Records's output as a lookup column your other formulas can VLOOKUP or reference directly.

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("srvparser", "_http._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 60 80 server.example.com.", "field", "raw_record")

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("srvparser", "_http._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 60 80 server.example.com.", "field", "raw_record")

Fields you can pull

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

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

Parse SRV Records, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Parse SRV Records into Google Sheets?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("srvparser", "_http._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 10 60 80 server.example.com.", "field", "raw_record") 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 Parse SRV Records?

Parse SRV Records returns raw_record, parsed.name, parsed.service, parsed.protocol and parsed.domain, plus 2 more — 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 Parse SRV Records fields need a paid plan?

parsed.priority, parsed.weight, parsed.port and parsed.target, plus 1 more are 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 Parse SRV Records at once?

Yes. Put your record 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 Parse SRV Records 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 Parse SRV Records 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.
