The Scenario
It's Sunday evening. The Monday standup is at 9am and the VP of Engineering expects a slide with every in-progress and blocked task across two dartboards — title, assignee, priority, status, last updated — 80 tasks total. Someone on the team always builds this manually: open Dart, filter by status, screenshot the board, paste the list into a doc, reformat for slides.
This is the third sprint in a row you've had to do it. Last time it took 40 minutes. The time before that, you missed six blocked tasks because the filter didn't save correctly.
The bad version:
- Open each dartboard in Dart, apply the status filter, scroll through the results, and copy task data row by row into an Excel workbook.
- Realize halfway through that Dart doesn't show "last updated" in the default board view, so you have to open each task individually to get the timestamp.
- Finish with a workbook that's close but not quite right, then spend another 10 minutes formatting it before you can paste it into the slide deck.
There's a leadership sync at 8:45am. You don't have 40 minutes to give to a task list that should generate itself.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads your workbook, talks to Dart, and writes the results back — filtering, field selection, and formatting handled in a single prompt.
Export all open Dart tasks assigned to the team members listed in column A of my Excel sheet and write task title, dartboard, priority, due date, and status into new rows
What You Get
- A populated worksheet with one row per matching task from the dartboards you specified
- Columns: title, assignee, priority, status, last updated date — in the order you specified
- Only In Progress and Blocked tasks included — no done or backlog noise
- Ready to copy directly into a slide deck or share as a link
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You need tasks from two dartboards, not one
Pull all In Progress and Blocked tasks from both the 'Q2 Roadmap' and 'Q3 Planning' dartboards in Dart and write title, dartboard name, assignee, priority, status, and last updated into a worksheet called 'Status Report'
You only want tasks assigned to people on a specific list
Export all open Dart tasks assigned to the team members listed in column A of my workbook and write task title, dartboard, priority, due date, and status into new rows starting at row 2
Last updated dates need to be formatted as MM/DD/YYYY for the slide template
Pull all In Progress and Blocked tasks from the 'Q2 Roadmap' dartboard — format the last updated date as MM/DD/YYYY — write title, assignee, priority, status, and last updated into the 'Status Report' worksheet
Kill-chain: pull from two boards, filter to active tasks, highlight overdue, write to workbook
Pull all In Progress and Blocked tasks from the 'Q2 Roadmap' and 'Q3 Planning' dartboards — filter to tasks where due date is before today — write title, dartboard, assignee, due date, and status into the 'Overdue Report' worksheet, and highlight any row where the task has been blocked for more than 7 days by writing 'STALE BLOCK' in column F
One prompt does the filtering, the join, and the conditional flagging. The workbook arrives ready for the standup.

Open the workbook you use for weekly status reporting and get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI, then ask it to pull the Dart snapshot you need. When you're ready to go further, see how to bulk-create sprint tasks from an Excel workbook or bulk-update task status and assignee. The full Dart integration guide covers all seven workflows.
