QueryStorm
Tech-friendly spreadsheets
QueryStorm is a plugin that brings a full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) into Microsoft Excel, allowing users to write and run SQL, C#, and VB.NET code directly within their spreadsheets. It addresses the limitations of Excel's native capabilities for complex data manipulation, automation, and custom function creation, providing a more powerful and familiar environment for users with programming experience.
The tool includes an intelligent code editor with features like syntax highlighting and code completion. It provides a built-in SQLite engine for querying workbook tables and supports connecting to external databases. Users can create custom Excel functions using SQL, C#, or VB.NET, and automate workbook behavior with .NET code. An extensions marketplace offers additional functionality, such as connectors for two-way data sync with platforms like Airtable and Monday.com, and packages for text manipulation, translation, and geocoding. A distributable runtime allows sharing automated workbooks and functions with others who do not need a license.
QueryStorm is designed for software engineers, data professionals, and business users who need to work with smart workbooks. It is available in several editions: a free Community edition for non-commercial use and small businesses, and paid editions (SQL Pro and Developer) for commercial use, which include features like external database connectivity and the ability to publish packages. Licenses are perpetual and per-seat, with optional yearly support subscriptions. Free licenses are available for students, teachers, and Microsoft MVPs upon verification.
