The Scenario
You are a growth analyst. Your team is preparing a competitive landscape presentation for the board and you need to know how many of the top 10,000 domains adopted Cloudflare, Shopify, and HubSpot over the past year — with monthly breakdowns.
The presentation is next Tuesday and you have the technology list in column A of an Excel workbook.
It is Thursday afternoon.
The bad version:
- You write a script to fetch DataForSEO technology stats for three technologies across 12 months
- The script runs but the output CSVs have different column orders because DataForSEO returned months in different sequences across your three API calls
- You import each CSV into Excel and spend an hour normalizing the month column ordering
- You try to build the comparison chart and realize months 7-9 are misaligned for Shopify
- You spend Tuesday morning fixing the workbook instead of presenting.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook that reads your technology list, calls DataForSEO's domain analytics technology stats endpoint for each one, and writes the monthly adoption counts in a consistent structure.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
For each technology in column A of my TechStack tab, fetch DataForSEO domain analytics technology stats for the past 12 months and write monthly adoption counts into adjacent columns.
SheetXAI calls the technology stats endpoint for each technology, fetches 12 months of data, and writes the monthly counts into columns B through M in the same order for every row. You come back to a clean, aligned trend matrix.
What You Get
A TechStack tab with 12 new columns per technology:
- Columns B-M — monthly domain adoption count for each of the past 12 months
All three technologies, all 12 months, consistently structured. Build a chart directly from the table for the board presentation without any realignment work.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Technology research requests evolve quickly. SheetXAI handles the variations in one prompt.
When you want to filter adoption counts by country
The board wants European adoption specifically.
For each technology in column A of my TechStack tab, fetch DataForSEO technology stats for Germany, France, and the UK for the past 12 months. Write monthly adoption counts for each country into separate columns labeled with the country name.
When you want month-over-month growth rates instead of raw counts
Growth rate tells a cleaner story across technologies with very different total adoption bases.
Fetch DataForSEO technology adoption stats for all technologies in column A of my TechStack tab for the past 12 months. Write monthly domain counts into columns B through M. In column N, calculate the month-over-month percentage change from month 11 to month 12 and label the trend direction.
When you need to add a technology that was not in the original list
The board asked about Magento last minute.
Add "Magento" to the end of my TechStack tab and fetch DataForSEO technology stats for it for the past 12 months. Write monthly adoption counts into columns B through M to match the format of the existing rows.
When you need the full data plus a competitive narrative for the board deck
The board wants numbers and context.
Fetch DataForSEO technology adoption stats for all technologies in column A of my TechStack tab for the past 12 months. Write monthly counts into columns B through M. Then create a Narrative tab and write a short paragraph for each technology describing its growth trajectory and what the adoption trend suggests about market direction.
The pattern: the data pull and the written narrative happen in one prompt — the board deck is ready without a second pass.
