The Scenario
You run event logistics for a company that books outdoor venues. It's Wednesday and you have 50 venue lat/lng pairs in an Excel workbook—columns A and B—ready for weekend confirmation calls. Before you call, you need current weather conditions at each site: temperature, humidity, wind speed, and a general conditions label. Two clients specifically asked about wind before signing off on tent structures.
The bad version:
- Open Ambee's weather endpoint, authenticate, type the first coordinate pair, run the query, find the temperature field buried in the JSON response, copy it, open the workbook, paste into column C, go back, copy humidity, paste into column D.
- Repeat for wind speed and conditions label, switch tabs again, type the next coordinates.
- At venue 11 you notice that columns C and D are out of sync—you pasted temperature twice on row 8 and skipped humidity entirely.
Fifty venues is not a quick scan. It's an afternoon of tab-switching that still isn't done when the first client calls back.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads your coordinate columns, queries Ambee's weather API for each location, and fills in temperature, humidity, wind speed, and conditions—across all 50 rows—in one run.
Here is the prompt for this task:
For every venue lat/lng in columns A and B, fetch current weather from Ambee (temperature, humidity, wind speed, conditions) and fill columns C–F
What You Get
- Column C: Temperature in Celsius
- Column D: Humidity percentage
- Column E: Wind speed in km/h
- Column F: Current conditions label (e.g., "Clear," "Partly Cloudy," "Thunderstorm")
- Rows where Ambee returns no weather station data show "No data" across C–F
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The client wants temperature in Fahrenheit, not Celsius
For every lat/lng pair in columns A and B, fetch current weather from Ambee, convert temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, and write temperature (°F), humidity (%), wind speed (km/h), and conditions into columns C–F.
Wind speed needs to be flagged when it exceeds a threshold for tent safety
Fetch current weather from Ambee for each venue lat/lng in columns A and B, write temperature, humidity, wind speed, and conditions into columns C–F, and add "WIND ALERT" in column G for any row where wind speed exceeds 40 km/h.
Weather data needs to merge with venue names from a separate column
Column A has venue names, column B has latitudes, column C has longitudes. Fetch current weather from Ambee for the coordinates in columns B and C and write temperature, humidity, wind speed, and conditions into columns D–G, keeping venue names in column A intact.
Kill-chain: fetch weather, flag wind alerts, compute feels-like index, sort by risk
For each lat/lng pair in columns A and B, fetch current temperature (°C), humidity, wind speed, and conditions from Ambee and write into columns C–F. Compute a "feels-like" temperature using the heat index formula and write it into column G. Flag any venue where wind speed exceeds 40 km/h or feels-like temperature exceeds 38°C with "REVIEW" in column H. Sort the workbook by column H so flagged venues appear first.
Ask for the full sequence in one prompt—SheetXAI runs it all in a single pass.
Try It
Open any Excel workbook with venue coordinates and get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI. Ask it to pull current temperature, humidity, wind speed, and conditions from Ambee for every lat/lng pair in columns A and B, and your pre-call weather brief is ready before the first ring. Also useful: checking wildfire status for the same coordinates or the Ambee integration overview.
