The Scenario
A consulting firm starts the fiscal year by raising all its service rates. There are forty saved fee line items in Bidsketch — hourly rates, fixed-price packages, retainer tiers — and every one needs to go up by 10%. The person responsible for this last year did it manually: opened each fee record in Bidsketch, calculated the new price, typed it in, saved it. Forty records, forty times.
That person is still complaining about it.
The bad version:
- Open Bidsketch's saved fees section. Click the first fee. Calculate 10% of the current price in your head or open the calculator app. Type the new price. Save. Find the next fee.
- Around fee number fifteen you start to wonder if you're applying the same rounding logic you used at the start. Did you round to the nearest dollar? The nearest ten? You can't remember.
- By fee thirty-two, you realize you've been applying the increase to some fees that were supposed to be locked — you need to go back through and check.
Forty records shouldn't take an afternoon. But consistency breaks down once you're doing the same calculation manually at scale.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Google Sheet. It reads the sheet and communicates with Bidsketch through its built-in integration — exporting fee records into the sheet so you can review them, then pushing the updated values back in bulk once you're ready.
Export all saved fees from Bidsketch into my sheet with columns for fee name, type, and amount. After I update the amounts, push all changed rows back to Bidsketch to update each fee.
What You Get
- Every saved Bidsketch fee written into the sheet — fee name in one column, type in the next, current amount in the next.
- Full visibility before any changes: you review the list in the sheet, apply the new amounts (manually, with a formula, or by asking SheetXAI to calculate the increase), and confirm the rows look right.
- A second prompt pushes the updated amounts back to Bidsketch — one API call per fee, all handled in one operation.
- Any fee that fails to update surfaces an error in the sheet rather than silently skipping.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
You want SheetXAI to apply the 10% increase for you automatically
List every reusable Bidsketch fee into my sheet with columns for fee name, type, and amount. Increase all amounts in column C by 10% rounded to the nearest dollar, then update each fee in Bidsketch with the new price.
Some fees are marked as fixed and should not be changed
Export all saved Bidsketch fees into my sheet. For any fee in column B with type "fixed," leave the amount unchanged. For all other types, increase column C by 10% rounded to the nearest dollar, then push the updated amounts back to Bidsketch.
The fee names have inconsistent capitalization that makes the list hard to read
Export all Bidsketch saved fees into my sheet. Normalize the fee names in column A to title case. Increase all amounts in column C by 10% rounded up to the nearest dollar. Then update every fee in Bidsketch with the corrected name and new amount.
Export, increase, validate the total fee budget impact, then push updates
Export all Bidsketch saved fees into my sheet. In column D, calculate what each fee will be after a 10% increase. In cell F1, sum the difference between column C and column D to show the total annual rate increase across all fees. Then, after I review, update each Bidsketch fee record with the new amount from column D.
One prompt stages everything for review, and a follow-up confirms the push.
