The Scenario
You are a search product manager. Your team has three active A/B tests on different Algolia ranking configurations. You set them up two weeks ago and today is the decision deadline.
Each test has two variants. You need CTR and conversion rate for each variant in an Excel workbook, side by side, ready for the engineering team by 2 PM.
The bad version of this morning:
- You log into the Algolia dashboard and open the A/B testing section
- You screenshot each test result
- You start manually typing numbers into the workbook
- You misread a decimal from screenshot 2 and have to go back
- Your colleague asks whether the conversion rate shown is purchase or any-click conversion
- You walk into the 2 PM decision meeting with numbers you second-guessed twice
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook that pulls A/B test results from the Algolia API and writes them into a comparison table, no manual data entry required.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Fetch all active Algolia A/B tests and write their IDs, variant names, click-through rate for each variant, and conversion rate for each variant into the Test Results tab. One row per variant, with a column for which test it belongs to.
SheetXAI calls the Algolia A/B testing API, retrieves all three active tests with their variant metrics, and writes them into the Test Results tab.
What You Get
A decision-ready comparison table with:
- Test ID — so you can confirm which test you are looking at
- Variant name — the configuration label from when you created the test
- CTR per variant — from Algolia's analytics
- Conversion rate per variant — purchase conversion rate
- All three tests in one view — no switching between dashboard screens
The numbers come directly from the Algolia API. No transcription errors.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
A/B test data is clean, but decision-making often needs another layer.
When you want statistical significance flagged alongside the metrics
CTR differences can be noise. You want to know whether the gap between variants is meaningful.
Fetch all active Algolia A/B tests and write test ID, variant name, CTR, conversion rate, and search count into the Test Results tab. Add a Significant column that marks "Yes" if one variant has at least 20% more searches than the other and a CTR or conversion difference above 5%, and "No" otherwise.
When you want to pull results for one specific test by ID
You only care about the typo tolerance test, not all three.
Pull the results of the Algolia A/B test whose ID is in cell A1 of the Test Results tab. Write a comparison table showing variant A versus variant B across CTR, conversion rate, and total search count.
When you want a running log rather than an overwritten snapshot
You want to track how each variant's performance changes day over day.
Fetch all active Algolia A/B tests and append today's results as new rows at the bottom of the Test Log tab. Include the date, test ID, variant name, CTR, and conversion rate. Do not overwrite existing rows.
When you want a summary row declaring the winner for each test
The engineering team just wants to know which variant to ship, not read a full table.
Fetch all active Algolia A/B tests and write the full comparison table into the Test Results tab. After each test block, add a summary row stating which variant won, the winning metric, and the percentage improvement. Bold the summary rows.
The pattern: pull the data, add the decision layer, walk into the meeting with a workbook you trust.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open a blank workbook, then ask it to pull your active Algolia A/B test results. The Algolia integration is included in every SheetXAI plan. For related workflows, see how to export Algolia search analytics to Excel or the Algolia in Excel overview.
