The Scenario
Every Monday you refresh a pricing dashboard your team maintains. The data comes from a RedCircle collection that runs weekly and stores its results as a downloadable CSV. Your job is to get that CSV into Excel — except you're working in Google Sheets this week because the Excel file got corrupted and you're waiting on IT.
The collection ID is in your notes. The process is: log into RedCircle, navigate to the collection, find the latest result set, download the CSV, open it, fix the column names, copy the data into the sheet. It takes about 35 minutes when nothing goes wrong.
The bad version:
- Log into the RedCircle dashboard, navigate to the collection, find the "Result Sets" tab
- Download the latest CSV file, open it — the column order is different this week because someone added a new field to the collection
- Reorder the columns to match the dashboard sheet, paste the data in, discover that the product titles have trailing spaces that throw off the VLOOKUP formulas in column G
The dashboard is shared with the ops team by 10 AM. It's 8:45 now.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI connects to the RedCircle API from inside your Google Sheet. It can fetch the most recent result set from a collection you already have running and write the data into your sheet — without the CSV detour.
Fetch the most recent result set from my RedCircle collection ID col_123 and get the CSV download links, then import the first file's data into this sheet starting at row 2
What You Get
- Data from the latest result set CSV written into the sheet starting at row 2, preserving row 1 headers
- Column order matched to your sheet headers rather than the CSV's default column order
- Trailing whitespace stripped from product title and text fields automatically
If the result set isn't ready yet (collection still running), a status note is written into cell A1 instead.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The collection ID changes week to week because someone creates a new one each run
Instead of a fixed ID, the collection ID for this week's run is in cell A1.
Get the latest CSV result set links from the RedCircle collection ID in cell A1 and paste the product data into this sheet starting at row 2
You only want to import certain columns, not the full CSV
The CSV has 12 columns but your dashboard only uses title, price, and availability — the rest are noise.
Fetch the most recent result set from RedCircle collection col_123, import only the product title, price, and availability columns, and write them into columns A, B, and C of this sheet starting at row 2
The result set has multiple files and you need all of them combined
Large collections split results across multiple CSV files. You need all of them merged into one sheet.
Fetch all CSV files from the latest result set of RedCircle collection col_123, combine them into a single dataset, deduplicate by TCIN, and write the merged data into this sheet starting at row 2
You want the import plus a timestamp and summary row in one pass
The dashboard has a header row at row 1 and a summary at the bottom — total product count, average price, count of out-of-stock items.
Fetch the latest CSV result from RedCircle collection col_123, import the data into rows 2 onward with title in column A, price in column B, and availability in column C, write the import date into cell E1, then add a summary row at the bottom with total product count, average price, and out-of-stock count
One prompt, dashboard ready.
