The Scenario
You're on the content team at a crypto research platform. The editorial database lives in an Excel workbook — 40 rows, each with a coin name in column A. The next four columns are supposed to hold the official description, logo URL, and website URL for each coin, pulled from CoinMarketCap. Your editor assigned this task to an intern three weeks ago. The intern is gone. Columns B through D are empty.
The database feeds the site's coin profile pages. The product team is asking for it by end of week.
The bad version:
- Go to CoinMarketCap, search the first coin, open its profile page, copy the description text, switch to the workbook, paste it into B2, clean up any stray formatting characters.
- Right-click the logo, copy the image URL, paste it into C2.
- Find the official website link from the "Links" section, copy it, paste it into D2.
- Repeat 39 more times.
That's a four-hour block of mechanical lookup work that produces nothing except filled cells. It's the kind of task that makes a Tuesday feel like a week.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook with a direct CoinMarketCap integration. It reads the coin symbols or names in your list and writes the metadata into the target columns in one pass.
Enrich my Excel coin list using CoinMarketCap — for each symbol in column A fetch the description, logo URL, and website and write them into columns B, C, and D
What You Get
- Column B: the official CoinMarketCap description for each coin — plain text, no HTML artifacts.
- Column C: the direct URL to the coin's CoinMarketCap logo image, usable as a src attribute.
- Column D: the first listed official website for the coin.
- Any coin CoinMarketCap can't match returns "Not found" in each metadata column so you can spot gaps quickly.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Column A has a mix of symbols and full names
For each entry in column A — which may be a ticker symbol or a full coin name — resolve it against CoinMarketCap; write the description into column B, the logo URL into column C, and the official website into column D; flag any entry that couldn't be resolved in column E with "Ambiguous — review"
I also want the CoinMarketCap profile URL for each coin
For each coin symbol in column A, fetch the CoinMarketCap metadata and write description into column B, logo URL into column C, official website into column D, and the CoinMarketCap profile page URL into column E
The description column needs to be capped at 200 characters for the database schema
For each coin symbol in column A, fetch its CoinMarketCap description and truncate it to 200 characters, then write the truncated description into column B, the logo URL into column C, and the official website into column D
Fetch all metadata, flag missing fields, and sort the filled rows to the top
For each coin symbol in column A, fetch the CoinMarketCap description, logo URL, and official website; write them into columns B, C, and D respectively; mark any coin where one or more fields are missing with "Incomplete" in column E; then sort the workbook so rows with complete metadata appear above rows marked Incomplete
The database goes from empty to populated in one pass, with gaps surfaced and ready for a second look rather than buried silently.
