No-install risk check

Check if this spreadsheet is safe to send

Paste a range or drop an .xlsx and get an instant risk scorecard — Send-ready, Needs review, or High risk, with the top reasons why. Six deterministic checks: broken references, visible errors, mixed text and numbers, duplicate lookup keys, formula outliers and missing copied formulas. Runs locally — no install, no sign-up.

🔒 Runs entirely in your browser — your spreadsheet is never uploaded

Paste keeps cell values only. For the four formula-dependent checks — lookup index, duplicate keys, formula outliers and missing copied formulas — use the .xlsx tab, where all six checks run.

What this checks for

All six deterministic checks SheetBrain runs inside Google Sheets — the last two need formulas, so they run on .xlsx upload. Still a quick preliminary screen on a static file, not the live-workbook audit or a clean bill of health.

Broken references

Cells showing #REF!, and VLOOKUP/HLOOKUP calls whose index points outside the range (a #REF! waiting to happen).

Visible formula errors

#N/A, #VALUE!, #DIV/0!, #NAME? and friends — errors already showing in the sheet.

Mixed text & numbers

Columns mixing numeric and text values — the silent footgun that makes SUMIFS, COUNTIFS and AVERAGEIFS return wrong totals.

Duplicate lookup keys

VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP keys with duplicates, where the lookup silently returns only the first match (.xlsx upload required).

Formula outliers

One cell in a copied-down column whose formula doesn’t match its neighbours — often a silent typo or a stray manual edit (.xlsx upload required).

Missing copied formulas

A gap where a row was hardcoded or a formula deleted inside an otherwise-consistent formula column (.xlsx upload required).

What happens after install?

Three steps from open workbook to a sheet you can send with confidence.

1

Scan the workbook

Open the SheetBrain sidebar and run a workbook scan — every sheet, formulas included. Deterministic, unlimited, no AI call needed.

2

Review the issues

Read the risk scorecard, walk the findings grouped by sheet, jump straight to each flagged cell, and mark them reviewed as you go.

3

Send the scorecard or report

Copy the privacy-safe risk scorecard or review packet for your manager or client — or generate a shareable audit report.
