Como usar: Excel Formula to PHP
- Paste an Excel or Google Sheets formula, or pick one from Examples.
- Choose the target language — the page starts with PHP, and you can switch at any time.
- Rename the detected cell references to meaningful variable names, for example
B2→price. - Choose a full function or the bare expression, then copy or download the code. Helper functions are added automatically when a formula needs them.
Turning spreadsheet formulas into PHP
Quotes, invoices, shipping costs and commission rules are often specified in Excel and then implemented in a PHP application — Laravel, Symfony, WordPress or WooCommerce. This converter reads the formula with Excel's operator precedence and writes PHP 8 code you can drop into a service class or helper file.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2, Products!A2:C500, 3, FALSE), "Not found")
function calculate($a2, $products_a2_c500)
{
return if_error(fn() => vlookup($a2, $products_a2_c500, 3, false), 'Not found');
}
How Excel functions map to PHP
| Excel | PHP |
|---|---|
IF(c, a, b) | c ? a : b |
IFS / SWITCH | parenthesized ternaries |
AND, OR, NOT | &&, ||, ! |
= and <> | == and != |
a & b | $a . $b |
a ^ b | $a ** $b |
SUM(A2:A10) | array_sum($a2_a10) |
ROUND(x, 2) | round($x, 2) |
MOD(a, b) | excel_mod() helper |
SUMIFS / COUNTIF… | sum_ifs(), count_if() helpers |
VLOOKUP / XLOOKUP | vlookup(), xlookup() helpers |
IFERROR(x, y) | if_error(fn() => x, y) |
LEFT / MID / LEN | mb_substr(), mb_strlen() |
TODAY() / NOW() | new DateTime() |
PHP-specific details
- Nested ternaries. Since PHP 8, unparenthesized nested ternaries are a fatal error. Every nested
IFis wrapped in parentheses automatically. - Concatenation precedence. In PHP 8,
+and-bind tighter than., so"Total: " . $a + $badds first. The converter keeps Excel's meaning either way. - Multibyte text.
LEFT,MID,LEN,UPPERandLOWERuse themb_*functions, so accented characters and emoji count as one character, like in Excel. - FIND and SEARCH.
strpos()returnsfalseor a 0-based offset; thefind_pos()helper returns Excel's 1-based position (0 when not found). - MOD. PHP's
%andfmod()keep the sign of the dividend;excel_mod()matches Excel for negative numbers. - Errors.
IFERRORcatchesDivisionByZeroErrorand lookup failures throughif_error(fn() => …), using arrow functions (PHP 7.4+). - Dates.
TODAY(),DATE()andYEAR()useDateTimeobjects.
Using the output
Helpers are plain functions placed above your function. In a framework, move them into a helper file or make them static methods on a class. Ranges are PHP arrays: a single column is a list, and a multi-column range is a list of rows.
Supported functions: IF, IFS, SWITCH, AND, OR, NOT, XOR, IFERROR, IFNA, ISBLANK, ISNUMBER, ISTEXT, SUM, AVERAGE, MIN, MAX, COUNT, COUNTA, COUNTBLANK, PRODUCT, MEDIAN, ROUND, ROUNDUP, ROUNDDOWN, INT, TRUNC, ABS, SIGN, MOD, POWER, SQRT, EXP, LN, LOG, LOG10, PI, CEILING, FLOOR, RAND, RANDBETWEEN, SUMIF, SUMIFS, COUNTIF, COUNTIFS, AVERAGEIF, AVERAGEIFS, SUMPRODUCT, VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, MATCH, INDEX, CONCAT, CONCATENATE, TEXTJOIN, LEFT, RIGHT, MID, LEN, UPPER, LOWER, PROPER, TRIM, SUBSTITUTE, REPLACE, FIND, SEARCH, REPT, VALUE, EXACT, TEXT (number formats), TODAY, NOW, DATE, YEAR, MONTH, DAY. To bring the sheet's data along, convert it with Excel to PHP array.
