Keep the spreadsheet. Lose the copy-paste.
Cube brings FP&A for Excel and Google Sheets to the templates you already run: fetch live actuals into your cells, edit, and publish back. Patented bi-directional sync keeps every version the same version. No code, and nothing hidden in your file.
Before Cube
The workbook is fine. The workflow around it is broken.
Every FP&A team knows the Sunday night spent reconciling five versions of the same number.
Exports on repeat
Every close starts with pulling the same GL export into the same workbook, again.
VLOOKUP chains
One helper tab feeds another until nobody can say where a number was born.
Five versions of one number
The board deck, the budget file, and the forecast each carry a different truth.
Templates that break
Someone inserts a row and every downstream reference quietly goes wrong.
Fetch · Publish
How does FP&A for Excel and Google Sheets stay live?
Fetch pulls live Cube data into your cells. You build and edit the plan in your own layout. Publish writes the changes back to the model in one click.
One governed model
Every fetch and publish is permission-gated, logged, and undoable.
- Permission-gatedFetch and publish rights follow the model
- LoggedEvery publish captured, before and after
- UndoableRoll any publish back in one click
- Nothing written into cellsNo hidden formulas, files stay light
In the sheet
Point at the slice. Fetch it live.
The Cube panel defines the range by your dimensions, with no code and no formulas written into your cells. Fetch pulls live values into the layout you already have.
Real Excel, live from the model. The Cube panel analyzes any selected value: drill to its transactions, expand levels, validate dimensions.
Cubify · dimensional mapping
Connect the templates you already trust, without rebuilding them.
What Cubify does
Cubify scans a template you already run, recognizes the structure behind it, and maps each range to dimensions in Cube: account, department, scenario, period. Because data is mapped to meaning, rows and columns can move and nothing breaks.
The mapping is patented and lives in Cube, so values are mapped to dimensions rather than hidden cell formulas. Workbooks stay light and open fine anywhere, with or without Cube, and the budget file your owners know keeps working exactly as it did.

Connected, live
One connection. Every surface, at once.
The template connects directly to the governed model, so the same numbers are live in the browser, Excel, Google Sheets, and Slack or Teams at the same time. Open Cube Workspace next to your spreadsheet and it is the same P&L, and a question asked in Slack or Teams is answered from the same model your cells fetch.
The same governed model, open in the browser while the spreadsheet stays live. Chat answers come from the same place.
AI Analyst
Ask a question, get a live range back.
The AI Analyst sits in a sidebar in Excel and Google Sheets. Ask a plain-English question and it answers from the same model your cells fetch, then inserts the answer as a live Cube range. The same AI Analyst answers in Slack and Teams.
What drove the March opex variance?
The payoff
Keep your templates and cut the manual work.
One version of every number
Cells fetch from one governed model, so the budget your owners edit is the budget the board sees.
Patented bi-directional sync
Fetch pulls live data in and Publish writes edits back. Two budget owners can work the same template at the same time.
Logged and reversible
Every publish is audit-trailed with before and after values, and any publish can be undone.
Where it runs
Real Excel and Google Sheets, on every desk.
The Spreadsheet App installs from Microsoft AppSource and the Google Workspace Marketplace and connects to the model that already holds your data from hundreds of source systems. No code. No consultants. No kidding.
