The Scenario
The sports editor pinged you at 9 AM. He wants a fan guide for all NBA games in the New York area this month — home team, visiting team, venue, date, and cheapest ticket — by end of day so the social team can schedule posts around it. You have a blank Excel workbook open and nothing else.
The bad version:
- Go to SeatGeek, filter by sports, scroll through dozens of events to find NBA games specifically, and start copying row by row.
- Realize SeatGeek's UI doesn't let you filter by league on the events listing page directly, so you're manually scanning event titles for "Knicks" and "Nets."
- Spend 45 minutes building out 20 rows and then discover two of the "events" you captured were pre-season scrimmages listed under a different taxonomy.
Your editor needs this before the social team's noon standup. You don't have 45 minutes to spend filtering by hand.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads what you're working on and uses its built-in SeatGeek integration to search by taxonomy — concerts, sports, comedy — and write filtered results directly into your workbook. You specify the category. It handles the API filtering.
Search SeatGeek for all NBA sports events in New York in the next 30 days and write the event title, date, venue, and lowest ticket price into Sheet1 sorted by date ascending.
What You Get
- Column A: Event title (e.g., "New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics")
- Column B: Event date and time in local format
- Column C: Venue name
- Column D: Lowest available ticket price
- All results filtered to the NBA taxonomy — no scrimmages, no unrelated sports events mixed in
- Sorted chronologically so the fan guide reads like a calendar
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You need concerts in a different city, not sports
You're switching coverage from New York sports to Nashville live music.
Fetch all concert events on SeatGeek in Nashville in June 2026 and write the performer name, venue, date, and lowest ticket price into the June Concerts worksheet.
You need multiple categories in one worksheet with a type column
Your guide covers concerts and comedy, not just sports.
Search SeatGeek for all concert and comedy events in New York in the next 30 days. Write each event's title, taxonomy/type, date, venue, and lowest ticket price into Sheet1 with the taxonomy in column B.
The taxonomy name is uncertain and you want to match broadly
You're not sure if SeatGeek calls it "basketball" or "NBA" in their taxonomy system.
Search SeatGeek for sports events in New York in the next 30 days, then filter rows where the event title contains "Knicks" or "Nets" and write title, date, venue, and price into Sheet1.
Pull category, filter by price, and rank by popularity in one shot
Fetch all concert events in Los Angeles in the next 45 days from SeatGeek. Filter out events where the lowest ticket price is under $30. Sort the remaining events by popularity descending and write title, date, venue, and lowest price into Sheet1.
Combining the data pull with the filter and sort in a single prompt skips the multi-step back-and-forth.
