The Scenario
You inherited the 3D asset tracker when the previous merchandising coordinator left. It's an Excel workbook with 120 product rows, a "Model Status" column that was last updated six weeks ago, and a "Modelry ID" column that is half-empty because no one finished filling it in. Your director wants a current status snapshot before the catalog review on Thursday.
The bad version:
- Open Modelry, navigate to the workspace, scan the product list one page at a time, and copy names and statuses by hand into the workbook
- Realize the Modelry product names don't match the names in your workbook, so you spend 40 minutes doing fuzzy matching
- Finish with 112 out of 120 rows filled, with 8 products you can't locate because the naming convention shifted sometime last year
Nobody has time to play name-matching detective two days before a director review. Thursday is fixed. The workbook is not.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that runs inside your Excel workbook and talks to Modelry directly. You describe what you want and it goes and gets it.
List all products in our Modelry workspace and write product name, product ID, and current modeling status into columns A, B, and C of this sheet — one row per product, overwrite what's there
What You Get
- Column A: product name exactly as it appears in Modelry
- Column B: Modelry product ID (the canonical reference, useful for every other task)
- Column C: current modeling status — "not started," "in progress," "completed," or whatever stage label Modelry returns
- 120 rows in under two minutes, no fuzzy matching required
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The workbook already has some rows and you don't want to overwrite good data
List all products from our Modelry workspace and for each one, check if there's already a row in column B with that product ID — if yes, update column C with the current status; if no, append a new row at the bottom with name in A, ID in B, and status in C
You only want products that are currently in progress
Fetch all products from our Modelry workspace and write only the ones with a modeling status of "in progress" into this sheet — product name in column A, product ID in column B, status in column C
The workspace has sub-groups and you only care about one category
List all products in our Modelry workspace tagged as "furniture" and write product name, ID, and modeling status into columns A through C — skip products in any other category
You want status, completion percentage, and a flag for overdue items in one pass
Fetch all products from Modelry, write product name in column A, ID in column B, modeling status in column C, and completion percentage in column D — then in column E write "overdue" for any product where status is still "not started" and the product ID appears in the "Campaign Ready" worksheet in column A
One prompt does the join, the conditional flag, and the writeback simultaneously.
The pattern here: you don't have to pre-filter the data in Modelry before you pull it. Describe the logic you want and SheetXAI handles the filtering inline.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any Excel workbook where you're tracking 3D modeling status by SKU, then ask it to pull the current Modelry product list and overwrite the status column.
