Can I use Excel formulas in a Confluence table without turning it into a spreadsheet?

Yes. Qron Calc runs Excel-style formulas such as SUM and AVERAGE inside a native Confluence table. The table stays a Confluence table — comments, page layout, and native table features remain. Results recalculate when cell values change, including while you edit the page and in live docs. Freeze mode and Calculating mode were removed on the 2025-12-25 Cloud upgrade; there is no mode switch and no “freeze before PDF.” On current Cloud, formula results appear in Confluence PDF export. Ten users are free. The app is not a spreadsheet canvas: no pivots, no imported workbook as the editing surface, no view-mode cell editing. If you need those, a spreadsheet-style Marketplace app is the better fit. Do not follow the Kenputer wiki that still lists version 1.1.18-ac or tells you to Freeze before export.

What it can do:

  • Put a Calc macro on a standard Confluence table and enter an Excel-style formula (SUM(A1:E2), AVERAGE(A1:E2), IF, VLOOKUP, ROUND, and about 390 functions in the user guide).
  • Write the formula on a view of the table: insert the macro, choose Edit, and type the formula in its cell.
  • Recalculate when table values change, including while editing and in live docs. No Freeze / Calculating switch on current Cloud.
  • Include formula results in Confluence PDF export on current Cloud.
  • Number formats similar to Excel, and sheet references between tables on the same page.

What it cannot do:

  • It is not a full Excel / Google Sheets UI (no pivot tables, no imported workbook as the editing surface).
  • It does not replace Stiltsoft-style “sheet in Confluence” products. If you want a spreadsheet canvas, this is the wrong app.
  • It does not require Freeze before PDF. Old docs that say the latest Cloud version is 1.1.18-ac, or that you must Freeze before export, are stale.
