Season Dates in Google Sheets & Excel

What this pulls

Pull solstice and equinox dates into a cell. Returns all four seasonal dates for the year — Google 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

Conditions per location

Put your cities in a column and fill =VERVE("weatherseasons", "field", "year") beside them — every row shows live conditions, so an ops or travel sheet reflects the real world, not last week.

Logistics & scheduling

Gate a plan on the weather: read the forecast into a cell and let an IF formula flag rows that need a backup date.

Auto-refreshing board

Set the sheet to refresh on a schedule and Season Dates keeps a status board current without anyone re-typing a thing.

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("weatherseasons", "field", "year")

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("weatherseasons", "field", "year")

Optional inputs

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

year
The year to get the dates of the solstice and equinox
=VERVE("weatherseasons", "year", "2024")

Fields you can pull

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

Timezone

=VERVE("weatherseasons", "field", "march_equinox")
June solstice

Season Dates, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Season Dates into Google Sheets?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("weatherseasons", "field", "timezone") 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 Season Dates?

Season Dates returns timezone, march_equinox, june_solstice, september_equinox and december_solstice, plus 1 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.

Can I narrow what Season Dates returns?

Yes — Season Dates takes "year" as optional inputs. They go in as "name", value pairs after the required ones, in any order, so =VERVE("weatherseasons", "year", "2024") shapes the result without changing anything else.

Can I fill a whole column of Season Dates at once?

Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell and one call returns a value for every row, or drag =VERVE("weatherseasons") down like any spreadsheet function.

How many credits does each Season Dates 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 Season Dates 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.
