The Scenario
You are a search product manager. Your team has three active A/B tests running on different Algolia ranking configurations for your e-commerce site's main search. You set them up two weeks ago. Today is the decision deadline.
Each test has two variants. You need CTR and conversion rate for each variant, side by side, in a Google Sheet, so you can tell the engineering team which configuration to promote to production by 2 PM.
The bad version of this morning:
- You log into the Algolia dashboard and open the A/B testing section
- You screenshot test 1, then test 2, then test 3
- You start manually typing numbers into a Google Sheet
- You misread a decimal from the screenshot and have to go back
- You cannot tell if the conversion rate shown is purchase conversion or any-click conversion
- You walk into the 2 PM meeting with a sheet that has numbers you are not fully confident in
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your spreadsheet that pulls A/B test results from the Algolia API and writes them into a comparison table, with no manual data entry.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Fetch all active Algolia A/B tests and write their IDs, variant names, click-through rate for each variant, and conversion rate for each variant into this sheet. One row per variant, with a column for which test it belongs to.
SheetXAI calls the Algolia A/B testing API, retrieves all three active tests with their variant metrics, and writes them into the sheet in a comparison-ready format.
What You Get
A decision-ready comparison table with:
- Test ID — so you can confirm which test you are looking at
- Variant name — the configuration label you set when you created the test
- CTR per variant — click-through rate from Algolia's analytics
- Conversion rate per variant — purchase conversion rate
- All three tests in one sheet — no switching between dashboard views
The numbers come directly from the Algolia API, so there is no transcription error between the dashboard and the sheet.
Want a recommendation column added? Ask SheetXAI to mark the winning variant in each test based on which has the higher conversion rate.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
A/B test data is clean in structure, but the decision layer often needs more context.
When you want to see statistical significance alongside the metrics
CTR can fluctuate. You want to know whether the difference between variants is meaningful.
Fetch all active Algolia A/B tests and write test ID, variant name, CTR, conversion rate, and search count into this sheet. Add a column called Significant that marks "Yes" if one variant has at least 20% more searches than the other and a CTR or conversion difference above 5%, and "No" otherwise.
When you want to pull results for one specific test by ID
You only care about the test running on the "typo tolerance" configuration, not all three.
Pull the results of the Algolia A/B test whose ID is in cell A1. Write a comparison table showing variant A versus variant B across CTR, conversion rate, and total search count for each variant.
When you want to track test results over time in a log sheet
Rather than overwriting the same cells every day, you want a running log with a date column.
Fetch all active Algolia A/B tests and append today's results as new rows at the bottom of the Test Log sheet. Include the date, test ID, variant name, CTR, and conversion rate. Do not overwrite existing rows.
When you want to close the decision loop by reporting in the sheet which test won
You want a summary row at the bottom of each test block showing the winner and the delta.
Fetch all active Algolia A/B tests and write the full comparison table into this sheet. After each test block, add a summary row that states which variant won, the winning metric, and the percentage improvement. Bold the winner rows.
The pattern: pull the data, add the decision layer, and move to the meeting with numbers you actually trust.
