The Scenario
It's Q2 and the price list just changed. 300 SKUs, new retail prices, approved by category management and sitting in an Excel workbook since Tuesday. Every price needs to be live in Simla's store catalog before the weekend.
The bad version:
- Navigate to each product in Simla's catalog admin, open the offer, update the price field, save. Times 300.
- Or try Simla's CSV import path, spend 20 minutes figuring out which column headers it expects, upload, and debug the rows it rejects because the offer ID format differs slightly from what Simla stores internally.
- Spot-check 30 records in the UI because the import confirmation screen doesn't show individual row status.
It's Thursday afternoon. The merchandise team is watching.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside Excel. It reads your price update workbook and pushes each new price into Simla's catalog via the bulk price upload API — marking each row with its result.
Read my Excel Price Update table and push the price in column C for each SKU in column A into Simla's store catalog using the bulk price upload, then mark each row Updated or Failed in column D.
What You Get
- All 300 SKU prices updated in Simla's catalog
- Column D marked "Updated" or "Failed" for each row
- Failed rows include the error reason — offer ID not found, price below minimum, etc.
- A total count of updated vs. failed records in the sidebar
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You only want to update rows where the price actually changed
Filter my Price Update table to rows where the price in column C differs from column B, then push only the changed prices into Simla using the offer ID in column A — mark each row Updated or Skipped in column D.
SKU codes in the workbook don't match Simla's internal offer IDs
Match each SKU code in column A to the Simla offer ID in my SKU Mapping worksheet (column A = SKU, column B = Simla offer ID), then push the price in column C into Simla for each matched offer — flag unmatched rows as "NO MATCH" in column D.
The price column has mixed formats — currency symbols and plain numbers mixed
Strip currency symbols from column C and convert to plain decimal numbers, then push the cleaned prices into Simla for each offer ID in column A — mark results in column D.
Full normalization, filtering, and upload in one shot
Normalize prices to plain decimals, filter to rows where the price changed, match SKU codes to Simla offer IDs via my SKU Mapping worksheet, then push all matched updated prices and mark each row Updated, Failed, or No Match in column D.
One prompt. Format cleanup, filtering, ID resolution, and the API call all in one.
