Analyze Drop-Off Patterns From LiveSession Data in a Excel workbook

The Scenario

You are a growth analyst at a SaaS company preparing a monthly report for the head of product. Your job this week is to identify which pages are leaking users — high traffic, low engagement, lots of bounces. You have session data in LiveSession, but the product team wants it in an Excel workbook next to your funnel data so they can compare numbers in one place. You start pulling CSVs, realize the "duration" column is in milliseconds, and your afternoon is gone.

The bad version:

  • Export all sessions for the month, get 2,000 rows
  • Convert duration from milliseconds to seconds in a new column by hand
  • Filter rows under 10 seconds, add a "bounce" label, realize you applied the wrong date range and redo it

You do not have time for that.

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook that reads the data and talks to LiveSession for you. No mapping, no automation, no copy-paste.

Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:

Pull all LiveSession sessions into my workbook, sort them by duration descending, and flag sessions under 10 seconds in column F as "bounce" so I can analyze drop-off patterns. Write session ID, page URL, user identifier, duration in seconds, and start timestamp into columns A through E.

What You Get

  • All sessions written into columns A–E with duration already converted to seconds
  • Sessions sorted longest to shortest so high-engagement visits are immediately visible at the top
  • Column F flagged with "bounce" on every session under 10 seconds — ready to filter or pivot against

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

When you want to scope the pull to a specific page or section

Pull all LiveSession sessions from the past 30 days where the page URL contains /onboarding. Sort by duration descending and flag sessions under 10 seconds in column F as "bounce". Write session ID, page URL, user identifier, duration in seconds, and start timestamp into columns A–E.

When you need to group bounce counts by page URL

Pull all LiveSession sessions from the past 30 days. Flag sessions under 10 seconds as "bounce" in column F. Then write a summary in columns H–I listing each unique page URL and its bounce count, sorted by bounce count descending.

When you want to exclude internal traffic based on a list of user IDs already in the workbook

Pull all LiveSession sessions from the past 30 days. Exclude any session where the user identifier appears in column K (internal users). Sort by duration descending and flag sessions under 10 seconds in column F as "bounce". Write session ID, page URL, user identifier, duration, and start timestamp into columns A–E.

When you want it all in one shot

Pull all LiveSession sessions from the past 30 days. Exclude sessions where the user identifier appears in column K. Flag sessions under 10 seconds in column F as "bounce". Write session ID, page URL, user identifier, duration in seconds, and start timestamp into columns A–E. In columns H–I, list each unique page URL and its bounce count sorted descending. In column J, mark any page with more than 50 bounces as "priority review".

The pattern: instead of cleaning the data first and then calling LiveSession, you ask for both in one prompt.
