Are you looking to streamline your marketing report and process efforts by exporting your HubSpot contacts to Excel or Google Sheets? You’re in the right place.

This guide will walk you through every step of the process, ensuring clarity and efficiency regardless of your spreadsheet proficiency.

From manual export methods to leveraging cutting-edge tools like Coefficient for automation, we’ve got you covered.

Why Export HubSpot Contacts to Excel or Google Sheets

While HubSpot provides a comprehensive suite of tools for analyzing sales and marketing data, many users find the platform’s reporting functionalities somewhat restrictive and not fit for every use case. This limitation often drives the need to export HubSpot data, particularly contacts, into more flexible and customizable platforms like Excel.

Spreadsheets not only offer advanced data manipulation and analysis capabilities but also provide the familiarity many professionals rely on for daily operations. However, traditional methods of data export can be cumbersome, involving tedious manual steps prone to errors.

How to Export HubSpot Contact to Excel or Google Sheets: 3 Methods

Method 1: Coefficient

Coefficient is a no-code, two-way connector for HubSpot trusted by over 350,000 go-to-market professionals and data analysts for live data analysis and reporting.

It’s by far the fastest and easiest way to connect Excel to HubSpot or Google Sheets to HubSpot. Let’s walk through how it works in Excel.

To install Coefficient, open Excel from your desktop or in Office Online.

Click â€˜File’ > ‘Get Add-ins’ > ‘More Add-Ins.’

Navigating to 'Get Add-ins' under the File tab in Excel to search for Coefficient
