  3. To install from inside Sheets instead, open on your computer the Google Sheets spreadsheet in which you want to install Flookup.
  4. In the menu, click Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons. In the new window, search for "Flookup" or "Flookup Data Wrangler", click on it, then click "Install" and "Continue".
  5. To allow Flookup to work, read the important "Request access" message and then click the "Allow" button.
  6. When the installation completes, click the button labelled "Done" to finish.

How to Use Flookup

See the result first, then test the full product on your own data, then keep it only if it proves suitable. Fees and credit allowances are on the pricing page.

Flookup provides two complementary modes. Standard Data Cleaning runs from the sidebar for full workflows such as fuzzy matching, deduplication and standardisation. Data Cleaning Spreadsheet Formulas ( FLOOKUP , FUZZYSIM , DEDUPE and ULIST ) are typed into a cell for quick lookups and spot checks. The documentation overview explains each in detail.

Stage What to do
See the outcome before install Open the demo spreadsheet to view working examples of the Data Cleaning Spreadsheet Formulas on sample data with full explanations of inputs and cleaned outputs. No install and no payment is required. The demo shows only spreadsheet formulas, also called custom functions, including FLOOKUP , FUZZYSIM , DEDUPE and ULIST and does not demonstrate the sidebar Standard Data Cleaning.
Test on your own data with full capability When you are ready to test on your own data, use the Week Pass. It provides the full product for seven days and 1,000 rows, and every threshold, automation and AI workflow is unlocked from the start. It is a single $1.99 payment with no renewal and nothing to cancel. You test with the same capability you would retain with Data Nova, so the work you do in those seven days is not thrown away. Many free trials limit rows and hold features back. Here you see the actual result on your own sheet before you decide.
Retain permanently when it proves suitable Data Nova is a one-time purchase with credits that never expire. Your licence activates after payment when you submit your Profile ID at Extensions > Flookup Data Wrangler > Account Management > Profile activation. Starter, Pro and Teams differ only in credit allowance and user count. Full details including fees are on the pricing page. There are no recurring charges.

Payments are processed by PayPal and may be eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection. If a purchase does not arrive or is materially defective, contact us first, as direct resolution is usually faster. Refunds we approve for defects or billing errors within 14 days return to the original method within five to seven business days.

Access is granted instantly, so change of mind after delivery is not covered. That is why the seven-day pass exists: you see the full result before you commit. The full terms are in the refund policy.

149K+ users on Google Workspace Marketplace and 10,000+ daily active users since 2018. Google-verified, no auto-renewal and no subscription to manage.
