“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
You don’t need to wrestle with ODBC connection strings to get NetSuite data into Excel. There’s a much simpler way that eliminates driver installations, authentication parameters, and configuration headaches entirely.
Here’s how to connect NetSuite to Excel without touching a single connection string, plus why this approach saves you hours of technical setup.
Connect NetSuite to Excel without ODBC using Coefficient
Instead of configuring complex ODBC strings, NetSuite users can connect directly through Coefficient’s Excel add-in. This eliminates driver compatibility issues, connection timeouts, and the need for system-level installations that often require IT approval.
The key advantage is OAuth 2.0 authentication that works with one click, plus automatic handling of all technical setup that ODBC normally requires.
How to make it work
Step 1. Install the Coefficient Excel add-in.
Open Excel and go to Insert → Get Add-ins → Search “Coefficient” → Click Add. Launch Coefficient from the ribbon once installed.
Step 2. Connect to NetSuite with OAuth authentication.
Click “Connect to NetSuite” and sign in with your regular NetSuite credentials. This creates a secure connection without needing connection strings or driver configuration.
Step 3. Import data using the visual interface.
Select from Records & Lists, Saved Searches, or Reports. Choose your fields with drag-and-drop selection instead of writing SQL queries. Preview your data before importing.
Step 4. Set up automated refresh scheduling.
Click the schedule icon to set hourly, daily, or weekly refreshes. Your data updates automatically without keeping Excel open or maintaining ODBC connections.
Start importing NetSuite data in minutes, not hours
This approach eliminates ODBC driver compatibility issues, connection pool limitations, and complex authentication setup. You get the same live NetSuite data in Excel with better reliability and zero technical overhead. Try Coefficient to connect NetSuite to Excel without the ODBC complexity.
