    Retrieve Comprehensive Growth Data with Ease

    With just a simple formula, you can easily retrieve growth indicators for various departments at a company. The formula is “=ENRICH_GROWTH(A2)”, with the company website URL entered in cell A2. This will automatically fill in data for the following columns: Quarter, Found Profiles, Engineering, QoQ Engineering, Design, QoQ Design, Marketing, QoQ Marketing, Sales, QoQ Sales, Customer Service, QoQ Customer Service, HR, QoQ HR, Legal, QoQ Legal, Finance, and QoQ Finance.

    How to Use the Formula

    To use the formula, you have two options:

    Option 1: Copy the template spreadsheet (easier)

    1. Enter this Google spreadsheet – https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_WyH8kQefWnRfg_-6KK9feqEzEbyrH5v7dLo5mfsb_0/edit?usp=sharing
    2. Click “File” then “Make a copy”.
    3. This will create a copy of the template spreadsheet with the formula in your Google Sheets.
    4. In the “Settings” worksheet, paste your API key into cell B1.

    Option 2: Manually copy the code

    /**
     * Find company departments' growth indicators by company's URL using the Explorium API
     *
     * @param {string} url Company website URL (can be in any format)
