The Scenario
You are a senior engineer. At 2:30 PM on Tuesday, Sentry issue BACKEND-1234 is flagged as critical. You need the tag distribution — browsers, OS versions, release numbers, affected user IDs — in an Excel workbook fast so you can find the common denominator and start debugging.
The slow version:
- Open Sentry, click into Tags, read the browser distribution, write it down
- Click into OS, click into release, write each one down
- Try to cross-reference in your head
- Copy everything into an Excel workbook manually
- Thirty minutes of data collection before you start actual debugging.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI reads the Sentry tag data and writes it into the workbook so your investigation starts with structured data.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Get all tag values for Sentry issue ID BACKEND-1234 and write each tag key, top values, and their counts into my workbook. Put tag keys in column A, top value in column B, count in column C, and percentage in column D. One row per tag-value pair.
SheetXAI pulls the full tag breakdown and writes every tag key and top value into the workbook in under a minute.
What You Get
Tag key, top value, event count, percentage — one row per tag-value pair. Sort by count descending and the most common combinations surface immediately.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
When you need the latest event details alongside the tag summary
Retrieve the latest event for BACKEND-1234 and write event ID, timestamp, user ID, browser, OS, release version, and the top five stack trace frames into the workbook starting at row 2. Add a header row.
When you need to compare tag distributions across two related issues
Get all tag values for BACKEND-1234 and write into columns A through D. Get all tag values for BACKEND-1289 and write into columns F through I. Label each half with the issue short ID in row 1.
When you want to filter out low-count tag values
Get all tag values for BACKEND-1234. Only include tag-value pairs where count is greater than 10. Write tag key, value, count, and percentage into columns A through D. Sort by count descending.
When you want tag data, latest event, and a hypothesis in one shot
Get the tag breakdown and latest event for BACKEND-1234. Write the tag summary into columns A through D. Write event details into columns F through L. In cell A1, write a one-paragraph hypothesis about the most likely root cause based on the tag distribution.
The pattern: instead of clicking through Sentry tags one at a time, you describe the artifact and SheetXAI assembles it.
