Synopsis

Synopsis for Excel lets you write, run, and share your own data functions directly in Excel using JavaScript. Build powerful custom formulas, connect live data, and extend Excel beyond its built-in limits — all without leaving your spreadsheet.

Who it’s for:

Data analysts, engineers, financial modelers, and anyone who needs to go beyond VLOOKUPs and pivot tables to build real data-driven logic inside Excel.

What you can do with Synopsis:

• Connect your spreadsheets to APIs, databases, or web services.
• Query, clean, and transform data right inside Excel — no macros required.
• Collaborate with teammates by sharing functions through a single add-in.
• Integrate with your company’s data platform using secure HTTPS calls.

Why teams choose Synopsis:

• It combines the power of code with the simplicity of Excel.
• It’s cloud-hosted — no IT setup or local scripts required.
• It works seamlessly across Excel Desktop and Excel for the Web.

Subscription and licensing:

A paid Synopsis subscription is required to use this add-in. The add-in itself is free to install from AppSource, but it will not return data without an active Synopsis account.

• Subscription pricing is custom-quoted, and access to the Excel add-in is included with every Synopsis subscription at no additional charge.
• Synopsis subscriptions are purchased directly from getsynopsis.ai — the add-in does not process payment through Microsoft AppSource.
• To request pricing or start a conversation, contact sales at getsynopsis.ai/contact.

Getting started:

Install the add-in, open the Synopsis tab in the Excel ribbon, and click “Add Synopsis Query” to begin writing your own data functions. For help and documentation, visit getsynopsis.ai/help.

Synopsis brings the power of modern programming into Excel — without breaking your workflow.
