The Scenario
You are the IT procurement lead. Your company just approved software budget owners for 40 new internal projects. Each person gets a Ramp virtual card with a 2,000-dollar monthly limit. The names and user IDs are in an Excel workbook — column A has the Ramp user ID, column B has the display name. Your manager expects the cards issued by end of day.
The bad version:
- Open Ramp's card issuance UI and start creating cards one at a time.
- For each of the 40 people: search for the user, select them, set the limit to 2,000 monthly, name the card, click create.
- Forty cards in, you have no record linking card ID to employee — a problem the first time someone calls about a declined charge.
Forty UI entries is time that could be spent on anything else.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook. It reads the employee list and calls the Ramp card creation endpoint through the built-in integration — one card per row, card ID written back to column C.
For each employee in this workbook (user ID in column A, display name in column B), issue a Ramp virtual card with a $2,000 monthly limit and log the card ID in column C
What You Get
- A virtual card is created in Ramp for each row.
- The new card ID lands in column C per row, creating a permanent issuance record.
- Any row where creation fails shows an error message in column C.
- The workbook becomes your issuance log — no separate tracker needed.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Spend limits vary per employee
For each employee in this workbook (user ID in column A, display name in column B, monthly limit in column C), issue a Ramp virtual card using the limit from column C and write the new card ID to column D
Some user IDs might be invalid
Issue Ramp virtual cards for each row (user ID in column A, limit in column C), log the card ID to column D on success, and write User Not Found in column D for any unrecognized user ID
You want the card named by a convention
For each employee in column B with user ID in column A, issue a Ramp virtual card with a $2,000 monthly limit, name the card as [Display Name] — Software Budget, and log the card ID in column C
Kill chain: validate, issue, name, and log in one shot
Check each user ID in column A against Ramp and mark unrecognized ones as Invalid User in column D — then for all valid rows issue a virtual card with the limit from column C, name it as [Display Name] — Software Budget, and write the card ID to column D
Full issuance run with pre-validation, naming convention, and audit log.
