The Scenario
You are a project manager at a digital agency. Yesterday you discovered that 60 Toggl time entries logged over three weeks were assigned to the wrong project. A team member created a new project with a name one word off from the correct one, and everyone tracked to it.
You have the entry IDs in an Excel workbook — column A — and the correct project name in column B. The fix is simple in theory. Executing it is not.
The bad version:
- Open Toggl, search for the first entry ID
- Open the entry, change the project, save
- Repeat 59 more times
- You are on entry 30 when the browser tab reloads after a network blip and you lose your place in the list.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook that writes back to Toggl — so a column of entry IDs and target project names is all it needs to execute the bulk update.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
For every row in this workbook, update the Toggl time entry with the ID from column A to use the project named in column B. Write "Updated" or an error message in column C after each attempt.
SheetXAI works through all 60 rows, updates each entry in Toggl, and writes the result to column C. When it finishes, column C tells you which entries were corrected and which need manual attention.
What You Get
- 60 Toggl time entries corrected — each reassigned to the right project
- Status column written back — column C shows "Updated" for successes and the error text for any failures
- No session interruption risk — SheetXAI does not time out mid-run the way a browser session does
If a project name in column B does not match exactly to a Toggl project in your workspace, SheetXAI flags that row rather than guessing. You see the issue before it causes a second round of corrections.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Edit manifests from an incident investigation are never perfectly clean. SheetXAI handles data issues and the bulk update together.
When the billable flag also needs to change
The wrong project was also non-billable. Now that the project is corrected, you also need to mark those entries billable.
For every row in this workbook, update the Toggl time entry with the ID from column A to use the project from column B and set billable to TRUE. Write the update result in column C.
When descriptions need standardization at the same time
The client wants consistent descriptions on all corrected entries for the audit trail.
For every row in this workbook, update the Toggl time entry with the ID from column A to: (1) change the project to the name in column B, and (2) prepend "Client Review — " to the existing description. Write the result in column C.
When some entry IDs are already on the correct project
The workbook was generated from a broad export and not every row needs a change.
Check each Toggl entry ID in column A. If its current project already matches column B, skip it and write "No change needed" in column C. If it does not match, update the project and write "Updated" in column C.
When you also need a tag added to every corrected entry
The client audit requires that every corrected entry carry a "Reassigned" tag.
For every row in this workbook, update the Toggl entry with the ID in column A: set the project to column B, add the tag "Reassigned" to the entry's existing tags, and set billable to TRUE. Write "Done" or the error in column C.
The pattern: a workbook with IDs and target values is all you need. One prompt handles the entire correction set.
