The Scenario
The quarterly vendor spend review is two weeks away. You're a financial analyst. Your accounts payable team has 300 vendor names in Excel — payment records from the past year. Finance leadership wants the spend summarized by parent corporation, not by vendor subsidiary, because the company is trying to understand total exposure to any single conglomerate.
"Amazon Logistics," "Amazon Web Services," and "Amazon Advertising" are three separate lines in the payment file. Leadership wants one "Amazon" line.
The bad version:
- Try to build a parent company mapping table from memory and Google — which takes an afternoon and still misses acquisitions that happened in the last 18 months.
- Pull a corporate hierarchy dataset from a business intelligence tool your company hasn't licensed.
- Present the subsidiary-level data and note in your footnotes that parent consolidation wasn't possible in the time available — which is not the answer anyone wants.
The quarterly review goes to the CFO and the board. The "total Amazon exposure" question will come up.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI reads your Google Sheet and calls Interzoid's parent company lookup API for every vendor row — resolving subsidiaries to their ultimate parents without you maintaining a mapping table.
For each company name in column A, call Interzoid to look up its ultimate parent company and write the parent name and domain to columns B and C.
What You Get
- Column B: ultimate parent company name per vendor.
- Column C: parent company domain.
- A dataset ready for a parent-level spend pivot — sum column D (spend) by column B (parent) instead of column A (subsidiary).
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some vendors in column A are already parent companies — no parent lookup needed
For each vendor in column A, call Interzoid to look up the ultimate parent. If the result is the same as the input or Interzoid returns no parent, write the original vendor name to column B. Otherwise write the parent name to column B. Write the parent domain to column C in all cases.
You have domains in column B as well — use them for a more reliable lookup
Look up the parent company for every entry in the vendors tab (column A = vendor name, column B = domain) using Interzoid and fill in the parent corporation name and country in columns C and D.
You want spend consolidated by parent immediately
After writing parent names to column B, sum the spend in column C grouped by parent name in column B and write the consolidated totals to a new 'ParentSpend' sheet sorted descending by total spend.
Full parent resolution + spend rollup in one shot
For each vendor in column A, call Interzoid to identify the ultimate parent and write parent name to column B, parent domain to column C. For vendors with no parent found, use the original name. Then create a 'ParentSpend' summary sheet showing total spend from column D per parent company in column B, sorted by total spend descending. Include a row count per parent to show how many subsidiary lines roll up to each.
The board-level spend summary is ready two weeks early.
