The Scenario
Your team restructured last week. Two developers moved to a different squad, and 40 tasks in Dart's current dartboard need to be reassigned and marked Done as part of the handoff. The new team lead sent you an Excel workbook with the task IDs in column A, the new status in column B, and the new assignee in column C.
Forty tasks. All individually. In Dart's UI, that means 40 task opens, 40 status dropdown changes, 40 assignee swaps, 40 saves.
The bad version:
- Open Dart, search for the first task ID, click into the task, change the status dropdown to Done, click the assignee field, search for the new person, save.
- Go back to the workbook, get the next task ID. Repeat.
- Finish task 15 and realize you've been setting the status to "Done" but the workbook says "Closed" for some rows — now you need to go back and check which ones you applied wrong.
The team lead is waiting on confirmation that the handoff is complete. You've been at this for 25 minutes and you're not halfway through.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads the task IDs, status values, and assignee names from each row and applies all the updates to Dart in one pass.
Mark all 40 task IDs in column A of my Excel sheet as 'Done' in Dart and reassign them to the user in column B
What You Get
- 40 Dart tasks updated with the correct status and assignee, one per row
- Any task ID that doesn't exist in Dart flagged in column D, not silently skipped
- Any assignee name that doesn't match a Dart team member surfaced as a warning
- A confirmation column written back so you can verify the full handoff at a glance
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Status values in the workbook use different labels than Dart's internal status names
Update each Dart task ID in column A — map 'Done' to Dart's 'Closed' status and 'In Progress' to 'In Progress' — change the assignee to the person in column C
Some rows have a blank assignee — leave those tasks unassigned rather than erroring
For each row in my workbook: update the Dart task in column A to the status in column B; if column C is blank, leave the assignee unchanged; if column C has a name, update the assignee to that person
You only want to apply updates to tasks that are currently assigned to a specific person
Update all Dart tasks in column A that are currently assigned to 'Alex Kim' — set the status to the value in column B and the assignee to the person in column C; skip any tasks assigned to someone else and note 'Skipped' in column D
Kill-chain: validate task IDs, remap status labels, apply updates, log outcome
For each row in the 'Handoff' worksheet: verify the task ID in column A exists in Dart, remap the status in column B ('Done'→'Closed', 'WIP'→'In Progress'), update the assignee to column C, and write 'Updated' or the error into column D
One prompt validates, remaps, and applies everything in sequence.
Try It
Open your task handoff workbook and get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI, then ask it to apply all 40 updates to Dart at once. When the handoff is done, see how to export a status report to an Excel workbook or post QA comments to tasks in bulk. The full Dart integration guide covers all seven workflows.
