The Scenario
The finance deck goes to the exec team at 3 PM. You're the treasury analyst and you need a cash-outflow summary: every vendor payment NetSuite sent in the last 30 days, with vendor name, amount, payment date, and bank account, grouped and totaled by vendor. The data lives in NetSuite. The slide needs a table. The clock says 1:45.
The bad version:
- Log into NetSuite. Navigate to the vendor payment list. Set the date filter to the last 30 days.
- Export CSV. Open in Sheets. Discover that the export includes payment application detail rows mixed in with the payment header rows and you have to filter them out.
- Write a SUMIF grouping by vendor name. Format as currency. Sort descending. Copy the summary into the slide.
Seventy-five minutes of steps that don't require thought — just time you no longer have.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It fetches the vendor payments from NetSuite and builds the cash-outflow summary directly in the sheet through the built-in integration.
Fetch all NetSuite vendor payments from the last 30 days and paste VendorName, PaymentAmount, PaymentDate, and BankAccount into columns A through D, then sum the total paid per vendor in a table below
What You Get
- All vendor payments from the last 30 days appear in columns A through D.
- A summary table appears below the data with VendorName and total paid per vendor, sorted descending by amount.
- The summary is ready to copy directly into a slide without reformatting.
- Row count is noted so you can confirm the pull captured the full 30-day window.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Payments need to be broken out by bank account
Fetch all NetSuite vendor payments from the last 30 days into this sheet, then create two summary tables below — one for each bank account — showing TotalPaid grouped by VendorName
You need month-over-month comparison for two months
Fetch all NetSuite vendor payments from the last 60 days into Sheet1 with VendorName, PaymentAmount, PaymentDate, and BankAccount. In Sheet2, create a side-by-side comparison of total spend per vendor for month 1 vs month 2 with the percentage change in column D.
The exec team wants to see only the top 10 vendors by spend
Fetch all NetSuite vendor payments from the last 30 days, build a spend-per-vendor summary sorted descending, and show only the top 10 vendors in the summary table, with all others rolled up into an Other row at the bottom
Kill-chain: pull payments, build summary, highlight vendors over budget threshold, and output total outflow in one shot
Fetch all NetSuite vendor payments from the last 30 days into columns A through D of this sheet. Build a vendor spend summary table below sorted descending. In column C of the summary, compare each vendor's total against their budget in the reference table in Sheet2 and mark any vendor over budget as OVER in column D. Add a grand total outflow row at the bottom.
One prompt gets you from empty sheet to formatted exec-ready table with the budget flags before 2 PM.
