The Scenario
A new batch of vendor quotes landed in your inbox this morning. Before you can evaluate them, you need to know what you're currently paying for the same products in JobNimbus. Your product catalog has 85 items. You have never exported it before.
The bad version:
- Log into JobNimbus. Navigate to the product catalog. Click the first product. Write down the name, price, and cost.
- Go back to the list. Click the second product. Write down its values.
- After 20 products your spreadsheet has the right column structure but the wrong data in half the rows because you were copying from the wrong field.
You came in to do a pricing analysis. You're spending the first two hours of your day being a transcriptionist for your own database.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It connects to the JobNimbus product catalog and pulls every item into your sheet in one pass — no clicking through individual records.
Fetch the full JobNimbus product catalog and write product name, unit price, cost, and unit of measure into columns A, B, C, D of my Pricing Audit sheet.
What You Get
- Every product in the JobNimbus catalog written into the Pricing Audit sheet — one row per product.
- Product name in column A, unit price in column B, cost in column C, unit of measure in column D.
- The full 85 records, not a filtered subset. You can see everything at once.
- Clean data in a format you can immediately compare against the vendor quotes in the adjacent sheet.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Prices are stored with currency symbols that break formula comparisons
Some rows have unit prices formatted as $125.00 (with the dollar sign as part of the text), which means your comparison formulas treat them as strings.
Fetch the full JobNimbus product catalog and write the product name, unit price, cost, and unit of measure into columns A through D of my Pricing Audit sheet. Strip any currency symbols from the price and cost values so they are stored as plain numbers.
You want to add a margin column based on price and cost
Now that you have price and cost in the sheet, you want to see margin percentage for each product.
Fetch the full JobNimbus product catalog and write product name in column A, unit price in column B, cost in column C, and unit of measure in column D of my Pricing Audit sheet. In column E, add a formula that calculates gross margin percentage as (price minus cost) divided by price, formatted as a percentage.
You want to join the catalog against the vendor quotes already in the sheet
You have a Vendor Quotes tab with product name in column A and the new quoted price in column B. You want to see the current JobNimbus price next to each quote.
Fetch the full JobNimbus product catalog and write product name and unit price into a temporary lookup range starting at column G of my Pricing Audit sheet. Then, for each row in my Vendor Quotes tab where column A matches a product name in the catalog, write the current JobNimbus unit price into column C of the Vendor Quotes tab.
You need products flagged where the new quote is more than 10 percent lower than the current price
You want to highlight the biggest pricing opportunities without manually scanning 85 rows.
Fetch the full JobNimbus product catalog and join it against my Vendor Quotes tab by matching product name. Write product name, current JobNimbus price, and new vendor quote side by side in my Pricing Audit sheet. In the next column, flag any row where the vendor quote is more than 10 percent lower than the current price.
One prompt handles the export, the join, and the conditional flag together.
