=VERVE("tipcalculator", 100, 18, 4)

Split bills from a cell. =VERVE("tipcalculator", 100, 18, 4) returns tip, total and per-person amounts — Google Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 300+ 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.

A real example — these inputs, and the values they land in your sheet.

One value per row

Fill =VERVE("tipcalculator", 100, 18, 4) down a column and Tip Calculator returns a result for every row — a batch of live values in a single drag, no code.

Enrich data in place

Add Tip Calculator beside a table you already have to append its output right where your data lives, then sort, filter, or chart on it.

Stays fresh on its own

Set the sheet to refresh on a schedule and the tip calculator values keep themselves current without anyone re-typing.

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.

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same function, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE("tipcalculator", 100, 18, 4)

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

Tip Calculator, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Tip Calculator into a spreadsheet?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("tipcalculator", 100, 18, 4) into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.
How many credits does each Tip Calculator 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 Tip Calculator at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("tipcalculator", 100, 18, 4) down like any spreadsheet function.
Does Tip Calculator 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?
Tip Calculator 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; Tip Calculator is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.

Put Tip Calculator in your next spreadsheet. Add the extension, paste the formula, and the cell keeps itself current.
