The Scenario
A procurement analyst at an electronics reseller has a Google Sheet with 80 competitor SKUs in column A. The sheet is the centerpiece of a competitive pricing report going to the VP of Merchandising at 3 PM. It's 10 AM. Every SKU needs a current Best Buy sale price, regular price, product name, availability status, customer rating, and review count — columns B through G — before the analyst can run the margin comparison in columns H onward.
The bad version:
- Open bestbuy.com, search SKU 1, manually transcribe six fields into row 2
- Repeat 79 more times across a two-hour block
- Realize halfway through that prices already shifted since row 1
You don't have time for that.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Google Sheet that reads the data and talks to Best Buy for you. No mapping, no automation, no copy-paste.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Fetch Best Buy product details for each SKU in column A of my sheet and write product name, sale price, regular price, availability, customer rating, and review count into columns B through G
What You Get
- Columns B through G populated for every SKU in column A — product name, sale price, regular price, in-store availability, average rating, and review count
- Results written in the same row as the source SKU, so your downstream margin formulas in column H pick them up without any re-alignment
- Any SKU that returns no result from Best Buy leaves that row blank rather than writing an error that breaks your formulas
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
When some SKUs in column A have trailing spaces or leading zeros stripped
Fetch Best Buy product details for each SKU in column A — trim whitespace and pad with leading zeros to 7 digits before querying — then write product name, sale price, regular price, availability, rating, and review count into columns B through G
When you also need to flag SKUs where Best Buy's price is lower than your internal price in column H
Fetch Best Buy product details for each SKU in column A, write product name, sale price, and regular price into columns B through D, then add a TRUE/FALSE flag in column E indicating whether Best Buy's sale price is lower than the value in column H for that row
When you only want to pull data for SKUs where column B is currently blank (partial run recovery)
For each SKU in column A where column B is empty, fetch Best Buy product details and write product name, sale price, regular price, availability, rating, and review count into columns B through G — skip rows where column B already has a value
When you want it all in one shot
Fetch Best Buy product details for each SKU in column A — trim and normalize each SKU first — then write product name, sale price, regular price, availability, rating, and review count into columns B through G, flag rows in column H where Best Buy's sale price beats the value in column I, and mark column J with MISSING for any SKU that returned no result.
The pattern: instead of cleaning the SKU list first and then querying Best Buy, you ask for both in one prompt.
