The formula bar sits below the toolbar and shows the active cell's address and contents. It's the fastest way to read and edit formulas without opening the full code editor.
Edit in place — type values or formulas directly; autocomplete and function hints appear as you type.
Reference highlighting — cell and range references in your formula are color-highlighted on the grid.
Expand — long formulas can expand the bar to multiple lines.
Code cells — selecting a Python, JavaScript, or SQL cell shows the language and an AI-generated summary of what the code does, with one-click actions to open the code editor or ask about it in the AI chat.
Rename tables and columns — select a table name or column header and rename it right from the bar.
Toggle the formula bar from the View menu or in Settings. When hidden, pressing / in a cell falls back to the inline editor.
