The Scenario
Monday morning. A system import ran over the weekend and corrupted the delivery addresses on 40 active Shipday orders — each one got the zip code of the warehouse instead of the customer's zip. A logistics coordinator discovered it when the first driver of the day called in confused.
The correct addresses are already in an Excel workbook: column A has the Shipday order ID, column B has the corrected delivery address.
The coordinator needs all 40 orders fixed before any more drivers are dispatched. It's 7:40 AM.
The bad version:
- Open Shipday, search for order ID from row 1, click into the order, update the delivery address field, save. Go back to the order list, search for order ID from row 2.
- At order 15 the coordinator realizes she's been missing the phone update on the first 14 orders. She goes back through them one by one.
- At order 28, dispatch calls wanting to know why a driver has a bad address. The coordinator tells them 12 more orders still need fixing. Dispatch puts two drivers on hold.
Forty orders, one field each, all the while dispatch is on hold and drivers are waiting.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads your corrections column and updates each Shipday order in a single batch operation, writing confirmation back into the workbook so you know which ones went through.
Paste this into the sidebar:
Read my Order Corrections Excel sheet and update the Shipday delivery address for every order ID in column A using the corrected address in column B
What You Get
- One Shipday order update per row in your corrections workbook, processed in order.
- Delivery address updated from column B for every successful row.
- Any row where the update fails — order ID not found, address field rejected — gets an error note written into column C so you know exactly which orders need manual intervention.
- The operation finishes in seconds. Dispatch can resume before 8 AM.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The corrected addresses include extra whitespace or trailing characters
The corrections came from a copy-paste operation and some addresses have trailing spaces or inconsistent capitalization.
For each row in my Order Corrections workbook, clean the delivery address in column B by trimming whitespace and normalizing capitalization, then update the Shipday order with the ID in column A to the cleaned address — write the update result into column C
Some order IDs in column A are blank
The corrections sheet was assembled quickly and a few rows are incomplete — no order ID means nothing to update.
For each row in my Order Corrections workbook where column A is not blank, update the Shipday order for that ID using the corrected address in column B — write the result into column C — for any row where column A is empty, write "skipped - no order ID" in column C
You need to verify the current address before overwriting
Before updating, you want to confirm that what Shipday currently shows for each order matches what you expected to find there — to avoid overwriting an order that was already manually corrected by someone else.
For each row in my Order Corrections workbook, fetch the current Shipday delivery address for the order ID in column A — if it still contains the warehouse zip, update to the corrected address in column B and write "updated" into column C — if the address has already been changed, write "already corrected - skipped" into column C
Verify, clean, update, and produce a correction summary in one pass
The operations manager wants a post-mortem: how many orders were successfully corrected, how many were already fixed, and how many errored.
For each row in my Order Corrections workbook, verify the Shipday address still has the old zip, update to column B if it does, and write the result into column C — then create a new worksheet called Summary with three counts: total updated, total already corrected, and total errors
Verification, correction, and reporting in a single prompt. No second pass needed.
