The Scenario
The sprint review is Thursday. Your project manager needs every task from the Q2 Research project in Manus — task ID, title, status, and creation date — in an Excel workbook by end of day Wednesday so the team can walk through what shipped and what didn't.
The project has eighty tasks. They're all in Manus. None of them are in a workbook.
The bad version:
- Open the Manus project, scroll through the task list, click into task one, note the ID and title, check the status badge, record the creation date, switch to the workbook, enter the row, switch back, click into task two.
- Realize on task twelve that you forgot to record the creation date for tasks four through eight, go back, re-open each one, fill in the blanks.
- Get to task forty and lose count of which tasks you've already exported.
Eighty tasks at this pace is a four-hour job. The sprint review is not going to reschedule because the export took all day.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It connects to Manus and can pull the full task list for a project — or filtered subsets — and write every field into the workbook in one pass.
Get all Manus tasks with status 'stopped' and list them in this Excel workbook with task ID, title, and creation date so I can decide which ones to delete
What You Get
- One row per Manus task, with task ID in column A, title in column B, status in column C, and creation date in column D.
- The entire project pipeline in the workbook within seconds — no manual navigation through the Manus task list.
- If a field is missing for a task (no title set, creation date not returned), the cell is left blank rather than crashing the export.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
I only want stopped or failed tasks — not all eighty
Get all Manus tasks with status 'stopped' and list them in this workbook with task ID, title, and creation date so I can decide which ones to delete
I want the tasks sorted by creation date, oldest first
List all Manus tasks, write task ID, title, status, and creation date into this workbook — then sort the rows so the oldest creation date is at the top
The workbook already has a header row — start data at row 2
Export all Manus tasks to this workbook starting at row 2, leaving row 1 as the header — columns should be task ID, title, status, creation date
Pull the task list, flag overdue tasks, and count by status
List all Manus tasks into this workbook with ID, title, status, and creation date — then add a column E that marks any task created more than 30 days ago with status 'running' as 'overdue', and add a summary row at the bottom counting tasks by status
Bundling the filter, the flag logic, and the summary into one prompt means the workbook arrives at the sprint review already analyzed.
