“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.”
Salesforcedashboard limitations for aggregate displays include no native aggregate calculation capabilities beyond basic sums, inability to create custom calculated metrics spanning multiple objects, and dashboard components that operate independently without integration.
Here’s how to create unified dashboard panels that combine aggregate metrics with detailed bar chart visualizations using advanced calculation capabilities and flexible layouts.
Create unified dashboard panels with aggregate and detail views using Coefficient

How to make it work
Step 1. Prepare comprehensive data sources.
Import multiple Salesforce objects or reports that contribute to aggregate calculations, use Coefficient’s cross-object import capabilities for comprehensive metric calculation, and apply filtering to ensure data consistency across aggregate and detail views.
Step 2. Design prominent aggregate displays.
Create large, bold formatting for total revenue, overall conversion rates, or cumulative targets with conditional color coding. Position these at the panel top for immediate visibility and use prominent formatting that draws attention.
Step 3. Build supporting detail bar charts.
Add bar charts showing revenue by product, conversion by source, or progress by team with horizontal or vertical bars that visually support the aggregate story. Include data labels for precise values and position charts to create visual flow from summary to detail.
Step 4. Implement advanced aggregation techniques.
Create multi-object calculations combining Opportunity, Campaign, and Activity data for comprehensive metrics. Build weighted averages for deal sizes using probability data, calculate rolling averages and cumulative metrics using historical data, and segment analysis across territories or products.
Step 5. Set up automated aggregation features.
Use Coefficient’s Formula Auto Fill Down so aggregate calculations extend automatically to new data, schedule refreshes to maintain aggregate accuracy with business changes, apply dynamic filtering to recalculate aggregates for different segments, and use Append New Data for trend-based aggregates over time.
