Translate formulas between Excel and Google Sheets. Direction: [EXCEL_TO_SHEETS_OR_REVERSE]. The formulas to translate: [PASTE_FORMULAS]. Features used (tables, dynamic arrays, macros, Power Query, pivot tables): [FEATURES_USED].

Return a table: Original formula | Translated formula | Differences and risks | Test input and expected output.
Cover typical differences: structured table references (Excel) versus ranges; XLOOKUP, LET, LAMBDA, FILTER, and TEXTSPLIT availability and equivalents (SPLIT, ARRAYFORMULA, QUERY, IMPORTRANGE); array behavior and implicit intersection; function name differences; date system and 1900 versus 1899 origin; regional argument separators; wildcard behavior; case sensitivity; volatile functions; number formats; named ranges; conditional formatting formulas; data validation; charts; and scripting languages (VBA versus Apps Script) which cannot be converted by formula.

For each formula, state whether the translation is exact, approximate, or impossible, and what to do (helper columns, add-ons, scripts). Provide a migration checklist: inventory formulas and features, translate, compare results on sample data, check performance, update documentation, train users. Include a regression test method comparing totals and row counts between the two versions.
