The Scenario
The invoicing review is scheduled for Thursday. Your field service manager just pinged you asking for a list of all jobs completed last quarter — job number, customer name, assigned technician, status — so the accounts team can cross-reference against outstanding invoices before the meeting.
The bad version:
- Log into Ascora, navigate to the jobs list, set the status filter to Completed, then set the date range to the last quarter.
- Export whatever Ascora gives you, which may or may not respect both filters simultaneously.
- Open the CSV in Excel, discover that the column order doesn't match the invoicing template, and spend 20 minutes rearranging and relabeling columns.
Nobody asked you to become the team's ad hoc data pipeline. But here you are.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads the workbook, understands what you need, and through its Ascora integration it fetches jobs directly — filtered, formatted, and dropped into the worksheet you specify.
Pull all Ascora jobs of type 'Service' that are currently 'In Progress' and paste job number, customer, address, and scheduled date into the Excel 'ActiveJobs' sheet.
What You Get
- One row per matching job, written directly into the ActiveJobs worksheet.
- Job number, customer, address, and scheduled date in separate columns.
- If no jobs match the filter, SheetXAI writes a note indicating that rather than leaving the worksheet blank.
- The worksheet is ready for the invoicing review without any reformatting.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You want results split by technician, one section per assigned user
Fetch all Ascora jobs with status 'Completed' from the last quarter. Group by assigned technician. For each group, write the technician name as a header row in the 'JobsByTech' worksheet, then list job number, customer name, and job date below it. Leave a blank row between groups.
The date columns from Ascora are returning in a format that doesn't sort correctly in Excel
Fetch all Ascora jobs with status 'Completed' from the last quarter. Write job number, customer name, assigned user, and scheduled date into the 'CompletedJobs' worksheet. Convert the scheduled date column to ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD) so it sorts correctly.
You need to pull jobs from two statuses — Completed and Invoiced — into one worksheet
Fetch all Ascora jobs with status 'Completed' or 'Invoiced' from the last quarter. Write job number, job name, customer name, assigned user, and status into the 'InvoicingReview' worksheet. Sort by status, then by customer name.
Quarterly invoicing crunch: pull jobs, add a revenue column from a second worksheet, flag missing rates
Fetch all Ascora jobs with status 'Completed' or 'Invoiced' from the last quarter. Write job number, customer name, assigned user, and status into columns A through D of the 'InvoicingReview' worksheet. Then look up each job number in the 'Rates' worksheet — column A is job number, column B is the invoiced amount — and write the matched amount into column E. Flag any job with no rate match as 'Missing rate' in column E.
One prompt, and the Thursday meeting is covered.
