The Scenario
A project manager is closing out a six-month engagement. The client wants a retrospective document. The institutional knowledge — the decisions made in real time, the blockers called out, the approvals requested — is all in Wrike task comments. 400-plus of them, spread across 60 tasks.
The bad version:
- Open the first task. Scroll through the comments. Copy each one — commenter name, date, text — into a document.
- Open the second task. Repeat.
- Sixty tasks. Some have one comment. Some have 20. You lose your place at task 38, check your list, restart from 35 to be safe.
- Paste everything into an Excel workbook. Realize you have no consistent date format — some comments exported as "May 3" and others as "2026-05-03." Normalize them by hand.
The project is done. The retrospective is the last deliverable. It shouldn't be the hardest one.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It queries Wrike's comments API for an entire folder and writes every comment — with task name, author, and date — into your worksheet in one operation.
Get all Wrike task comments for the project in folder 12345678 and populate this Excel sheet with: Task Title, Author, Date, Comment Text — sorted by date ascending
What You Get
- Every comment from every task in the folder written into the workbook with consistent formatting.
- Columns: task title, author, date (normalized), comment text.
- Sorted chronologically so the retrospective reads in project order.
- 400 comments extracted without you opening a single Wrike task.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You want comments filtered by a specific date range
Fetch all comments from Wrike folder 12345678 tasks where the comment date falls between the dates in cells A1 and B1 — write task name, commenter name, date, and comment text into this sheet sorted by date
You need to filter to comments from specific team members
Fetch all comments from Wrike folder 12345678 and its tasks where the commenter name is in the list in column A of the "Team" worksheet — write task name, commenter name, date, and comment text into the "Comments" worksheet
You want to group comments by task rather than sort by date
Fetch all comments from Wrike folder 12345678 and its tasks — write them into this workbook grouped by task name, with all comments for each task listed together in date order, with task name in column A, commenter in column B, date in column C, and text in column D
Full retrospective package in one shot
Fetch all comments from Wrike folder 12345678 tasks created in the past 6 months, write them into the "All Comments" worksheet sorted by date, then in the "Decision Log" worksheet write only comments where the text contains "decided", "approved", or "confirmed" — with task name, commenter, date, and comment text
One prompt builds both the full record and the filtered decision log.
