About

Spreadsheets, tested — not guessed.

Every day, millions of people make real decisions from spreadsheets — budgets, forecasts, reports — built on advice they got from a random blog or a confident YouTube "trick." Most of that advice is never actually tested. It just sounds right.

FormulaHawk exists to fix that. We take the questions office workers actually have — Is Copilot worth it? Which is faster? Will this AI tool break my data? — and we run the real experiment. We measure. We show the receipts. And when the popular answer turns out to be wrong, we say so.

What we cover

Practical Excel and Google Sheets in the AI era: cleaning messy data, automating reports, writing AI prompts that actually work, and honest head-to-head tests of the tools everyone's talking about — Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, and the classics. Roughly half tutorials, a quarter tests, a quarter build-alongs. A free template comes with most of them.

Our one rule

Nothing gets published as fact unless it's measured. Benchmarks are run on real datasets, best-of-three, with the method noted so you could reproduce it yourself. No sponsored hype, no affiliate tricks dressed up as reviews. If we recommend a paid tool, we'll tell you exactly when it's worth it — and when the free option wins.

The name is the promise: a hawk sees what's hidden. Nothing hides in your spreadsheets.
