“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.”
Workflow automation adds raw data rows without any awareness of your spreadsheet’s calculation structure, requiring manual formula copying or complex dynamic range setups that break easily.
Here’s how to automatically apply formulas to new rows during each data refresh, eliminating manual formula extension work entirely.
Automatically apply formulas to new data with Formula Auto Fill Down using Coefficient
Coefficient‘s Formula Auto Fill Down feature is specifically designed to solve workflow automation limitations. This is one of the most powerful advantages over basic workflow tools that add data without formula integration.
HubSpotWhen you importdata through Coefficient, formulas in adjacent columns automatically get copied to new rows with proper relative cell references, maintaining calculation consistency across your entire dataset.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up HubSpot import to replace workflow automation.
Connect to your HubSpot account and configure an import for the data object you need. Select your required fields and configure the import to target a specific range within your existing spreadsheet structure.
Step 2. Position calculation formulas adjacent to the import range.
Place your calculation formulas in columns next to your imported data range. This includes VLOOKUP functions, INDEX/MATCH formulas, conditional logic, custom calculations, and any data validation rules you use for analysis.
Step 3. Configure scheduled refreshes for automatic updates.
Set up hourly, daily, or weekly refreshes based on your data update needs. Each refresh cycle automatically detects formulas adjacent to imported data and replicates them to new rows with proper relative cell references.
Step 4. Verify formula complexity support and formatting preservation.
Check that Formula Auto Fill Down works with your specific formulas, whether they’re simple calculations or complex nested functions. The feature maintains number formatting, conditional formatting, and data validation rules alongside the formulas themselves.
Transform your spreadsheet into a dynamic calculation engine
Eliminate manualThis approach transforms your spreadsheet from a basic data repository into a dynamic analysis tool where new records automatically integrate with your existing calculation framework.formula extension work that workflow automation requires.
