The Scenario
You're putting together a media kit. Not a vague "traffic is growing" slide — an actual chart: month-by-month unique visitors and pageviews for the last 12 months, sourced from Simple Analytics, in an Excel workbook that feeds a chart automatically.
The content team wants it by end of day. You've been the one running analytics for this site for the past year, so naturally it falls to you.
The bad version:
- Open Simple Analytics, set the date range to January 2025, export CSV, import it into Excel as a separate workbook, copy the visitors and pageviews columns into the right worksheet in your main file
- Repeat that process for each of the 11 remaining months — 12 exports total, 12 pastes, manually checking that the header row matches the target worksheet each time
- Realize in the second-to-last month that the "unique_visitors" column changed to "visitors" in a recent Simple Analytics update, so half your rows have a blank in column B
The media kit deadline doesn't care about column rename surprises. The person asking for the chart cares about one thing: does the data land before they send it to the sponsor?
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads the workbook, connects to Simple Analytics on your behalf, and pulls the data you describe — directly into the cells you point it at.
Get Simple Analytics aggregated stats for sheetxai.com for each month of 2025 and write month (column A), unique visitors (column B), pageviews (column C), and bounce rate (column D) starting at row 2 in the "Traffic" sheet.
What You Get
- 12 rows in the worksheet — one per month, January through December
- Column A: month labels formatted as YYYY-MM
- Column B: unique visitor count for that month
- Column C: total pageviews for that month
- Column D: bounce rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.42 for 42%)
- Any month with no data shows a blank row rather than an error, so your chart doesn't break
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The date range needs to be the last 12 calendar months, not a fixed year
Get Simple Analytics aggregated stats for sheetxai.com for the last 12 full calendar months — starting from the first day of the month 12 months ago through the last day of last month — and write month, unique visitors, pageviews, and bounce rate into columns A through D of the "Traffic" sheet starting at row 2.
The worksheet already has headers in row 1 and existing data below that needs to be replaced
Clear rows 2 through 50 in the "Traffic" sheet, then pull Simple Analytics monthly stats for sheetxai.com for each month of 2025 and write month, unique visitors, pageviews, and bounce rate into columns A through D starting at row 2.
The bounce rate is missing for several months and needs to be flagged
Get Simple Analytics monthly stats for sheetxai.com for 2025 and write month (A), unique visitors (B), pageviews (C), and bounce rate (D) into the "Traffic" sheet starting at row 2 — if bounce rate is unavailable for any month, write "N/A" in column D instead of leaving it blank.
Clean the output, fill gaps, and flag the three months with the highest visitor counts in one shot
Pull Simple Analytics monthly stats for sheetxai.com for 2025. Write month, unique visitors, pageviews, and bounce rate into columns A–D of the "Traffic" sheet starting at row 2. Replace any missing bounce rate with "N/A". Then in column E, write "Top 3" next to the three months with the highest unique visitor counts and leave column E blank for all other rows.
The pattern is to fold the cleanup and the annotation into the same ask — one prompt handles the pull, the gap-fill, and the highlight together.
