The Scenario
A field sales rep at a consumer electronics manufacturer has an Excel workbook with 15 Best Buy store IDs in column A — every location in her territory. She's leaving for a two-week product demo tour Monday morning. It's Friday afternoon. She needs store name, address, phone, and distance for each location in columns B through E so she can build her driving schedule over the weekend.
The bad version:
- Search "Best Buy store locator" for store ID 1, copy the name and address into row 2
- Repeat for 14 more stores, tabbing between browser and workbook
- Realize the hours are formatted differently per location and need manual cleanup
- Finish the workbook at 7 PM Friday with three stores still missing phone numbers
You don't have time for that.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook that reads your data and talks to Best Buy for you. No browser tabs, no manual entry, no formatting cleanup.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Pull Best Buy stores near the zip codes listed in column A of my Excel table and write store name, address, phone, and distance into columns B through E for each result
What You Get
- One row per store — store name, street address, phone number, and distance from the source zip code written into columns B through E
- Results sorted by distance ascending within each zip code group
- Each result row aligned to its source zip in column A for easy reference
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
When you have store IDs instead of zip codes
Fetch Best Buy store details for all store IDs in column A of my Excel workbook and write store name, address, city, state, zip, phone, and store hours into columns B through H
When you need only stores open on Sundays
Fetch Best Buy store details for all store IDs in column A of my Excel workbook, filter to stores open on Sundays, and write store name, address, phone, and Sunday hours into columns B through E
When you want to pull only the single closest store per zip code
For each zip code in column A of my Excel workbook, find the nearest single Best Buy store and write store name, address, phone, and distance in miles into columns B through E — one row per zip code
When you want it all in one shot
For each store ID in column A of my Excel workbook, fetch Best Buy store name, address, city, state, zip, phone, and hours into columns B through H, then add a column I that flags stores within 30 miles of the zip code in cell J1 as PRIORITY and marks the rest STANDARD, sorted so PRIORITY stores appear first.
The pattern: instead of looking up stores manually and then sorting by distance, you ask for both the lookup and the prioritization in one prompt.
