The Challenge

When working with data spread across multiple sheets in Google Sheets, you often need to match and bring information from one sheet to another. Traditionally, this requires using the VLOOKUP function, which can be complex to learn and implement.

The SheetXAI Solution

SheetXAI makes this process incredibly simple by allowing you to use natural language to perform what would normally require a complex VLOOKUP formula.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Identify the data to match

   • Determine which column in your current sheet contains the lookup values (e.g., Customer IDs)
   • Identify which sheet contains the source data you want to bring over
   • Note which columns in the source sheet contain the matching ID and the data you want to retrieve

2. Use SheetXAI to perform the match

   • Type a command like: "Match customer IDs in column C with customer IDs in the Customer Data sheet, and bring the customer names from column B into this column"

    

3. Confirm details when prompted

   • SheetXAI may ask you to confirm the exact name of the other sheet
   • It will show you its understanding of the match you want to perform
   • Confirm that the matching logic is correct

4. Let SheetXAI complete the operation

   • SheetXAI will fill the entire column with the matching data in seconds
   • No formulas to write, no complex syntax to learn

Benefits

• Speed: Match thousands of rows in seconds
• Simplicity: No need to learn VLOOKUP syntax
• Natural Language: Just tell SheetXAI what you want in plain English
• Error Reduction: Eliminates the risk of formula syntax errors
• No Formula Overhead: The results are pasted as values, not formulas, keeping your spreadsheet lightweight

Verification

Always verify a few random matches to ensure the data was matched correctly. You can:

• Check specific examples you're familiar with
• Cross-reference customer IDs between the sheets
• Add a header to the newly populated column for clarity

This approach is perfect for matching customer data, product information, or any scenario where you need to bring information from one sheet to another based on matching identifiers.
