Manual trial balance analysis requires exporting from NetSuite’s Trial Balance report, downloading CSV files, importing to Excel, and creating pivot tables – a process repeated for different periods or subsidiaries.
Here’s how to automate trial balance imports directly into Excel pivot tables with optimized formatting and scheduled refresh capabilities.
Automated trial balance pivot integration using Coefficient
Coefficient enables seamless trial balance import through its Reports import method with direct access to NetSuite’s Trial Balance report, automatic data formatting optimized for pivot table analysis, and scheduled refresh capabilities that keep pivot tables current with the latest balances from configurable accounting periods and subsidiaries.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up direct trial balance report access.
Use Coefficient’s Reports import method to access NetSuite’s Trial Balance report directly. Configure accounting periods, subsidiary selection, and accounting book options that align with your analysis requirements.
Step 2. Optimize data structure for pivot table analysis.
The system automatically formats trial balance data in pivot-ready structure where account names, numbers, and balances import with proper data types for numerical calculations. Custom fields for department, class, or location analysis are included automatically.
Step 3. Create automated pivot table templates.
Build pivot table templates that automatically refresh with current trial balance data on schedule. Set up multi-period comparisons where different trial balance periods populate pivot tables for automated variance analysis and period-over-period reporting.
Step 4. Enable real-time balance analysis and drill-down.
Configure pivot tables that update automatically as NetSuite balances change, maintaining proper account hierarchies for detailed financial analysis. Set up multi-dimensional analysis capabilities with subsidiary, department, and class data for comprehensive balance reporting.
