The Scenario
A field sales rep at a consumer electronics manufacturer has a Google Sheet with 15 Best Buy store IDs in column A — every location in her territory. She's leaving for a two-week product demo tour Monday morning. It's Friday afternoon. She needs store name, address, city, state, zip, phone, and store hours in columns B through H so she can build her driving schedule over the weekend.
The bad version:
- Search "Best Buy store locator" for store ID 1, copy the name and address into row 2
- Repeat for 14 more stores, tabbing between browser and sheet
- Realize the store hours are formatted differently for each location and require manual cleanup
- Finish the sheet at 7 PM Friday with three stores missing hours because the site didn't load them
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 your data and talks to Best Buy for you. No browser tabs, no manual entry, no formatting cleanup.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Fetch Best Buy store details for all store IDs listed in column A of my sheet and write store name, address, city, state, zip, phone, and store hours into columns B through H
What You Get
- One row per store — store name, street address, city, state, zip code, phone number, and store hours written into columns B through H
- Results aligned to the same row as the source store ID in column A
- Store hours written as a readable string (e.g., Mon–Sat 10am–9pm, Sun 11am–8pm) in column H
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
When you have zip codes instead of store IDs
Fetch Best Buy stores near each zip code in column A of my sheet and write store name, address, phone, and distance into columns B through E for each result — one store per row
When you need to add a "closest store" column for a list of customer zip codes
For each zip code in column A of my sheet, find the nearest Best Buy store and write store name, address, phone number, and distance in miles into columns B through E
When you want to filter only stores that are open on Sundays
Fetch Best Buy store details for all store IDs in column A, filter to stores open on Sundays, and write store name, address, phone, and Sunday hours into columns B through E
When you want it all in one shot
Fetch Best Buy store details for all store IDs in column A — write store name, address, city, state, zip, phone, and hours into columns B through H, then add a column I that flags stores within 30 miles of the zip code in cell J1 with PRIORITY and marks the rest STANDARD, sorted so PRIORITY stores appear first.
The pattern: instead of looking up stores manually and then ranking them by distance, you ask for both the data and the prioritization in one prompt.
