The Scenario
You're a marketing analyst and every Monday morning you pull the previous week's product feedback form responses into a Google Sheet for the weekly trend report. It's 8:45 AM. The product team's sync is at 10. There are 500 total submissions in the form — you need only the 73 that came in since last Monday, filtered by timestamp, with the submission time in column A.
The bad version:
- Export the full linked Google Sheet, which dumps all 500 responses.
- Add a filter on the timestamp column, set it to "last 7 days," and copy the visible rows to a new tab.
- Discover that the timestamp exported in UTC and your stakeholders want local time — go back and convert the column.
You do this every single Monday. The export, the filter, the copy, the timezone fix. Every week, same friction, same 25 minutes before you can even start the analysis.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads your sheet, understands the date context, and pulls only the responses you actually need from the Forms API — no full exports, no manual filtering.
List all responses from my Google Form from the last 30 days and populate this sheet with respondent email, submission time, and each question's answer in separate columns
What You Get
- Only responses submitted within your specified window appear in the sheet.
- Column A holds the submission timestamp in a consistent format.
- Column B holds the respondent email.
- Columns C onward hold each question's answer in form order.
- Row 1 is the header row with question text.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
I need a specific date range, not a rolling window
Last week's data for a fixed Monday-to-Sunday window, not "the last 7 days" relative to today.
Fetch all responses submitted to my Google Form between April 28 2025 and May 4 2025, write each response as a row with the submission timestamp in column A and answers in columns B onward, using question text as headers in row 1
Timestamps are coming through in UTC and I need Pacific time
Fetch all responses from my Google Form submitted after January 1 2025, convert each submission timestamp from UTC to Pacific time, and write the converted timestamp to column A with answers in columns B onward
I only want responses where a specific answer matches a filter value
You're looking only at responses where the "Product line" question answered "Enterprise" — not the full response set.
Fetch all responses from my Google Form submitted in the last 30 days where the answer to the "Product line" question is "Enterprise", and write each matching response as a row with submission timestamp in column A and all answers in columns B onward
Pull, filter by date, normalize timestamps, and flag incomplete responses in one pass
Fetch all responses from my Google Form submitted between April 1 2025 and April 30 2025, convert timestamps to Pacific time, flag any row where more than 3 answers are blank by writing "incomplete" in column Z, and write the full output to this sheet starting at row 2
The filtering, normalization, and quality check happen in one prompt — no post-processing step.
