# Folder to clean up — change this to your path
FOLDER = "./photos"

for i, name in enumerate(sorted(os.listdir(FOLDER)), start=1):
    src = os.path.join(FOLDER, name)
    if not os.path.isfile(src):
        continue
    ext = os.path.splitext(name)[1].lower()
    dst = os.path.join(FOLDER, f"photo_{i:03d}{ext}")
    os.rename(src, dst)
    print(f"{name} -> {os.path.basename(dst)}")
How it works

This script renames every file in a folder to photo_001, photo_002, and so on, keeping each file’s extension. Set FOLDER to your folder, then run python rename.py from a terminal.

This page generates Google Sheets formulas from plain-English requests. Whether you need a simple SUM, a multi-condition filter, or a cross-sheet lookup, just describe your goal and get a working formula instantly. Ideal for anyone who uses Google Sheets for work, school, or personal projects and wants results without memorizing function syntax.

How to generate a Google Sheets formula in seconds

  1. Describe your goal in plain English

    Explain what you want the formula to do. Mention your column letters or sheet names if relevant, like 'sum column C where column B says Paid'.

  2. Click Generate

    The AI reads your description and returns a Sheets-compatible formula with an explanation. Free and instant — no account needed.

  3. Read the explanation

    Before pasting, read the plain-English explanation of how the formula works. This helps you catch any mismatches with your actual sheet layout.

  4. Copy and paste into your Sheet

    Click the copy button, select the target cell in Google Sheets, and paste. Press Enter to confirm.

  5. Test on real data

    Verify the output against a few rows you know the answer to. If the result is wrong, refine your description and regenerate.

About this Google Sheets formula generator

Google Sheets shares many functions with Excel, but it also has its own powerful features that go well beyond what Excel offers natively. This generator is tuned specifically for Sheets syntax, so you get formulas that work without manual adjustments.

**Key differences from Excel you should know:**

ARRAYFORMULA is one of Sheets' most useful features. Instead of copying a formula down an entire column, wrap it in ARRAYFORMULA and it expands automatically to cover new rows. For example, =ARRAYFORMULA(B2:B * C2:C) multiplies every row in columns B and C without manual copying.

QUERY is a SQL-like function unique to Google Sheets. It lets you filter, sort, and aggregate data using a mini query language: =QUERY(A1:D100,"SELECT A, B WHERE C = 'Active' ORDER BY D DESC"). It's extraordinarily powerful for dashboard-style summaries.

IMPORTRANGE pulls data from another Google Sheet entirely: =IMPORTRANGE("spreadsheet_url","Sheet1!A1:C100"). The first time you use it, Sheets asks for permission — click Allow access.

FILTER returns rows that match a condition, giving you a dynamic filtered view: =FILTER(A2:C100, B2:B100="Yes"). Unlike Excel's native FILTER (which requires 365), this has been in Sheets for years.

COUNTIF, SUMIF, and AVERAGEIF work very similarly to Excel. COUNTIFS and SUMIFS handle multiple conditions. Text matching uses wildcards: "*word*" matches any cell containing that word.

SPLITTING and text manipulation: SPLIT(text, delimiter) breaks a string into multiple columns — great for separating full names or CSV-style data. JOIN(delimiter, range) does the reverse.

DATE functions: TODAY() returns today's date. EDATE adds months. NETWORKDAYS calculates working days between two dates. All standard across both Sheets and Excel.

How to enter a formula: click a cell, type =, then type or paste. Press Enter. If you see a #REF! error, a range reference is likely broken. #N/A means a lookup found nothing — check that your search value exists in the lookup column.

Common beginner mistakes in Sheets: forgetting that ARRAYFORMULA needs to be in the first cell of a range, putting text match criteria without quotes, and referencing a sheet name with spaces without wrapping it in single quotes like 'My Sheet'!A1:B10.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Google Sheets formula generator free?

Yes — completely free, unlimited, no signup, no Google account required. Just describe your formula and generate.

How is this different from an Excel formula generator?

Google Sheets has unique functions like ARRAYFORMULA, QUERY, IMPORTRANGE, and FILTER that don't exist in Excel. This generator is tuned for Sheets syntax so you get formulas that work without modification.

Can I generate QUERY formulas with natural language?

Yes. Describe what you want to filter and sort, and the generator will write a QUERY formula for you. It's one of the trickiest Sheets functions to write manually, so this saves a lot of time.

Should I test the formula before using it in important data?

Always test on a copy or a small sample first. AI-generated formulas are usually correct, but cell references can be off if your description is vague.

Do these formulas work on mobile (Google Sheets app)?

Most formulas display and calculate correctly in the mobile app. However, some complex array formulas may render differently — desktop browser is recommended for initial setup.

What if I get a #REF! or #N/A error?

#REF! usually means a cell or range reference is wrong — check your column letters. #N/A in a lookup means the search value wasn't found — verify your data doesn't have extra spaces or different capitalization.
