How a custom Excel quiz template works

Teachers and students who search for a Quizizz Excel template usually want one thing: a quiz they can run without typing every question by hand.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions from your own notes
Explanations written for every answer, not just the correct letter
CSV export on Plus so the question list can open in Excel or Google Sheets
Spaced repetition in Plus for questions you keep missing

Example Excel practice questions

Which function adds only the cells in a range that meet one condition?SUMIF. It adds values in a range where a matching criteria is true, such as sales for one region.

What does the absolute reference $A$1 do when you copy a formula?It keeps the reference fixed on cell A1 instead of shifting to new rows or columns.

True or false: VLOOKUP can look to the left of its lookup column.False. VLOOKUP only searches to the right, while INDEX with MATCH can search in either direction.

Which function counts only the cells in a range that contain numbers?COUNT. It ignores text and blanks, while COUNTA counts every non-empty cell.

In older versions of Excel, which keys entered an array formula?Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Dynamic arrays in newer versions made this key combination unnecessary for most formulas.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Questions come from the PDFs, slides, DOCX files or notes you upload, so the quiz matches what your class actually covers.

Explanations for every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question includes an explanation, so wrong answers become a lesson.

Export when you need it

Plus exports to PDF, DOCX and CSV. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.

How it works

Upload or paste your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a printed page. Text recognition reads images.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then generate the set.

Review, study or export

Check the questions and explanations, study in the browser, or export the set as a file for your own template.

A generic template gives you empty rows and no content. DeckOwl starts from your own material, so the questions cover the functions, formulas and features your course actually teaches. You can also paste formula notes as plain text.

Free accounts get 3 generations per month and browser study with no exports. Plus, at $39 per year or $7.99 per month, adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, CSV and Anki export. Students get 40% off with a school email.

Frequently asked questions

What Excel topics make good practice questions?

Formulas such as SUMIF, VLOOKUP and INDEX with MATCH, cell references, PivotTables and data validation all work well. Questions that ask you to predict a result or spot an error test understanding better than definitions alone.

How many questions should an Excel quiz have?

Ten to fifteen questions is a practical length for a single topic, since it takes about 15 minutes and covers the main ideas. Longer sets work better when split into sections by function or chapter.

Can I get the quiz as a spreadsheet?

Yes, CSV export is included in the Plus plan, and the file opens in Excel or Google Sheets. PDF and DOCX export are also on Plus, while QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML require Pro.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports are not included on the free plan, so you would need Plus to download a file.
