The Excel add-in is built but not available to install yet: it is not in AppSource, and its files are not hosted. This page says what it will do, and how to check the addresses in a workbook today.

[Read the guide](https://email-validation.org/docs/guides/excel-add-in/) [Upload a list instead](https://email-validation.org/docs/bulk/)

- Status: Coming soon
- Check a workbook today as a bulk list

**The cell function** Coming soon

When the add-in is listed

```text
=EV.VALIDATE(A2)

Returns the status and the reason in two cells,
for example:  valid  accepted
```

## At a glance.

- **Status**: **Coming soon.** Not available to install yet. Below: what it will do, and what to use today.
- **For**: People who keep address lists in Excel workbooks and want a status next to each row without exporting a file.
- **You need**: Once it is listed: Excel on the web, or Microsoft 365 or Office 2021 or later on Windows and Mac, and an [API key](https://email-validation.org/app/api-keys/) made for it, with a [daily credit cap](https://email-validation.org/docs/authentication/#limits).
- **Costs**: 1 credit = 1 validated address, as with any API request. Free: unknown results, API errors, malformed addresses and test addresses on sandbox.email-validation.org.
- **Full guide**: [Read the guide](https://email-validation.org/docs/guides/excel-add-in/)

## What it will do.

- **A status in a cell**: `=EV.VALIDATE(A2)` will return an address’s status and reason. Results stay in memory while the workbook is open, so a recalculation is free.
- **A whole column**: The task pane will validate a selected column: up to 50 addresses as single checks, more as one bulk list, and it states the most a run may cost before it starts.
- **A free test sheet**: Add test addresses will add a sheet of sandbox addresses that return a fixed result each and cost nothing.

## Until it is listed. What to use today.

- **Upload the workbook**: Upload the XLSX file as a [bulk list](https://email-validation.org/docs/bulk/) in the dashboard and download the results file when it is done.
- **Use Google Sheets**: The [Google Sheets add-on](https://email-validation.org/integrations/google-sheets-add-on/) gives you a cell function and a menu for whole sheets today.
- **Call the API**: Send each address to the [validate endpoint](https://email-validation.org/docs/api/validate/) from your own code or an automation.

## Good to know.

- Your key will be kept in the add-in’s own storage on your computer, never in a workbook, and addresses will be sent only in the body of a request, never in a URL.
- Results are remembered only while the workbook is open: when Excel recalculates a reopened workbook, its formulas check again and are charged again, so paste results as values to keep them.
- Developers with the add-in’s source can sideload it to try it; the source is not published yet. The [add-in guide](https://email-validation.org/docs/guides/excel-add-in/) has the details.
