The Scenario
You are a market researcher at a venture capital firm. Your team has compiled 80 portfolio company domains in an Excel workbook, one domain per row in column A of the Companies tab. The partners want a market map — industry vertical, employee headcount, annual revenue estimate, and funding stage for each company — before the Wednesday LP update.
Monday morning. Two days.
The slow version:
- You open Apollo's organization search, look up the first domain, copy industry and headcount back to the workbook
- You do the same for the second domain. The third. By row fifteen you have consulted three other sources to fill in blanks Apollo did not have
- By row forty your workbook formula references are broken because you inserted a column in the middle
- You send a half-complete market map on Wednesday with a note that "a few rows still need manual review."
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook that reads the domain column, calls Apollo's organization enrichment for each row, and writes the results back into the right columns without you touching a single lookup.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Enrich each domain in column A of the Companies tab using Apollo's bulk organization enrichment. Write industry into column B, employee count into column C, annual revenue into column D, headquarters city into column E, and founding year into column F. If Apollo has no record for a domain, write "Not found" in column B and leave the other columns blank.
SheetXAI reads all 80 rows, sends the enrichment requests to Apollo, and fills in columns B through F. The Wednesday market map is ready by Monday afternoon.
What You Get
An 80-row market map with:
- Column B — industry vertical from Apollo's taxonomy
- Column C — current employee headcount
- Column D — annual revenue estimate
- Column E — headquarters city
- Column F — founding year
Rows Apollo could not match are explicitly flagged, not silently left blank. You know exactly which companies need manual follow-up.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Domain lists sourced from multiple places are rarely clean. SheetXAI handles the cleanup and the enrichment together.
When domains have inconsistent formatting
Some rows say "https://acme.com/about," some say "www.acme.com," some just say "acme." Apollo needs bare domains.
Normalize every value in column A of the Companies tab to a bare domain (no protocol, no www, no path). Then enrich each domain using Apollo's organization enrichment and write industry, employee count, annual revenue, city, and founding year into columns B through F.
When the partners want companies grouped by funding stage after enrichment
The market map needs to be segmented by stage, not listed in the original order.
Enrich every domain in column A of the Companies tab using Apollo organization enrichment — write industry, employee count, annual revenue, city, and funding stage into columns B through F. Then sort the rows by funding stage: Seed first, then Series A, B, C, and later. Keep column A aligned with the enriched rows after sorting.
When you only need companies above a headcount threshold
The LP update focuses on growth-stage companies. Smaller ones are out of scope.
Enrich every domain in column A of the Companies tab using Apollo organization enrichment and write employee count into column B. For rows where column B is 100 or more, write industry, annual revenue, city, and funding stage into columns C through F. For rows below 100, write "Below threshold" in column C and leave D through F blank.
When the list needs deduplication and full enrichment in one operation
Three team members contributed to the workbook and there are duplicates, formatting differences, and some empty rows mixed in.
Remove duplicate domains from column A of the Companies tab, keeping the first occurrence of each. Remove any blank rows. Normalize all remaining domains to bare format. Then enrich every remaining row using Apollo organization enrichment and write industry, employee count, annual revenue, city, founding year, and LinkedIn URL into columns B through G.
The pattern: one prompt cleans the list and fills the market map. You review the output, not the process.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any Excel workbook with company domains, then ask it to enrich each row with Apollo organization data. The Apollo integration is included in every SheetXAI plan. For related workflows, see how to bulk-create accounts in Apollo from an Excel workbook or the Apollo in Excel overview.
