SheetWhiz (formerly Ponder) brings Excel-style modeling and auditing tools to Google Sheets™. It helps spreadsheet users understand formulas, test and sensitize assumptions, and make sure their analysis is linked and calculating correctly, all without leaving Google Sheets™.

► TRACE PRECEDENTS

With Trace Precedents, you can quickly jump to the cells that feed into a formula so you can understand how your spreadsheet works and audit models more efficiently.

SheetWhiz helps you:

◆ Jump directly to precedent cells
◆ Drill deeper into the precedents of precedent cells
◆ View the values behind linked calculations
◆ Follow spreadsheet logic across large or complex models

This is especially useful for financial models, operating models, and other spreadsheets where it is important to verify that assumptions, formulas, and linked analysis are flowing correctly.

► GOAL SEEK

With Goal Seek, you can set a formula cell to a target value by changing an input cell, similar to Excel’s Goal Seek workflow.

This is useful for answering questions like:

◆ What price do I need to charge to hit a target margin?
◆ How many units do I need to sell to break even?
◆ What rate gets me to a desired monthly payment?
◆ What assumption needs to change to reach my target output?

SheetWhiz also includes advanced Goal Seek options so you can manage settings like tolerance and maximum attempts when working with more sensitive or iterative models.

For users of the SheetWhiz Chrome extension, Goal Seek can also be triggered with a keyboard shortcut for a faster workflow.

► DATA TABLES

With Data Tables, you can quickly evaluate how outputs change as assumptions change, similar to Excel’s Data Tables tool.

SheetWhiz supports:

◆ Single-variable analysis
◆ Double-variable analysis
◆ Automatic detection of the table setup, similar to Excel

This makes it easier to build sensitivity tables and compare outcomes across different assumptions directly in Google Sheets™.

For example, you can analyze:

◆ IRR / MOIC returns under different margin and growth assumptions
◆ Revenue outcomes across different price and volume assumptions
◆ Profitability across different cost and pricing scenarios

► BUILT FOR SPREADSHEET MODELING AND AUDITING

SheetWhiz is useful for finance, FP&A, operations, analytics, and other spreadsheet-heavy workflows where you need to:

◆ Test assumptions quickly
◆ Build sensitivity analysis
◆ Audit formulas and model logic
◆ Validate outputs across a range of inputs
◆ Make sure your spreadsheet is linked correctly
◆ Make Google Sheets™ more useful for serious analytical work
