The Scenario
The engineering lead gets the same ping every Thursday morning: "Can you share the sprint status?" He has it all in Fibery — every open task in the 'Engineering/Task' database, with assignee, status, and due date — but the stakeholders who need it live in Excel workbooks, not Fibery. They want a workbook they can sort, filter, and paste into a slide deck.
Last week he exported the Fibery database as CSV, opened it in Excel, deleted the eight system columns, renamed the remaining fields to match the team's preferred headers, and reformatted the due date column because Fibery exports ISO 8601 and the deck template expects a different format. Forty minutes. For data that already existed in Fibery.
This Thursday he got the same ping at 8:47 AM with a note that the standup is at 9:15.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads the workbook, understands what you're looking at, and through its built-in Fibery integration it can query any Fibery database and write the results directly into your workbook — with the columns and formatting you actually want.
Query all open entities in my Fibery 'Engineering/Task' database and write the title into column A, assignee name into column B, status into column C, and due date (formatted as MM/DD/YYYY) into column D, starting at row 2 with headers in row 1
What You Get
- Every open engineering task written to the workbook, one row per entity.
- Assignee displayed as a name, not a Fibery UUID.
- Due date formatted the way your template expects.
- No extra system columns to delete. No headers to rename.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You only want tasks assigned to your direct reports
Query all open entities in my Fibery 'Engineering/Task' database where the assignee is one of: Alice, Ben, or Carmen — write title, assignee, status, and due date into columns A through D
You want to include blocked and in-progress tasks but not backlog items
Fetch all Fibery 'Engineering/Task' entities with status 'In Progress' or 'Blocked' — write title, assignee, status, due date, and days until due into columns A through E
The workbook already has data and you want to refresh just the status column
Query Fibery 'Engineering/Task' entities matching the task titles in column A of my workbook and update the status value in column C for each matching row, leaving all other columns untouched
Full sprint snapshot in one shot
Pull all Fibery 'Engineering/Task' entities where status is not 'Done' and not 'Cancelled' — write title, assignee, status, due date, and story point estimate into columns A through E, sort by due date ascending, and flag anything due within three days with "URGENT" in column F
The sort and the flag happen as part of the same prompt — the report arrives ready to share.
