Gain for Excel
by Gain.ai
Pull live private and public company data from Gain into Excel with a single formula
The Gain for Excel add-in brings live intelligence on hundreds of thousands of private and public
companies directly into your spreadsheets.
With a single =GAIN.COMPANY(...) formula, you can pull financials, headcount, ownership,
industry classification, and hundreds of other data points, refreshable on demand and fully
integrated into the models you already work in.
Who it's for
Built for private equity and investment professionals, investment bankers, corporate development
teams, management consultants, and strategy leaders who need to move from screening to execution
without copy-pasting between research platforms and Excel.
What you can do
Build private company deep dives with financials, growth rates, employee trends, and ownership
history.
Construct trading comparables across public peers with consistent multiples, currency
conversion, and period alignment.
- Run deal screens at scale by pulling structured data for lists of companies in seconds.
Refresh entire workbooks as financials update with no manual reconciliation or broken links.
How it works
Install the add-in from the marketplace and sign in with your Gain credentials. Any cell can
become a live data query using company IDs from the entity finder or exports from the app.
Build formulas by specifying the ID, metric, and relevant attributes (such as currency or period).
Values populate instantly and recalculate using Excel's native engine.
