“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.”
Yes, Coefficient fully supports complex SOQL queries with multi-object joins through its Custom SOQL Query import method. This capability directly addresses the gap left by force.com connector’s retirement and goes beyond basic reporting needs.
You can write sophisticated queries that join multiple objects, use subqueries, and apply advanced filtering across related data in a single operation.
Execute complex SOQL queries with multi-object joins using Coefficient
Coefficient’s Custom SOQL Query method handles the most complex Salesforce data requirements. You can join multiple objects using relationship names, create subqueries for parent-child relationships, and apply advanced filtering with aggregation functions across related data.
How to make it work
Step 1. Access the Custom SOQL Query import method.
In Coefficient’s sidebar, select “Import from Salesforce” and choose “Custom SOQL Query.” This opens the query editor where you can write complex SOQL statements with full syntax support.
Step 2. Write multi-object joins using relationship names.
Use relationship names to join objects: SELECT Account.Name, Account.Owner.Name, Opportunity.Name, Opportunity.Amount FROM Opportunity WHERE Account.Type = ‘Customer’. Access related object fields through dot notation up to 5 levels deep.
Step 3. Add subqueries for parent-child relationships.
Include subqueries to pull related records: SELECT Account.Name, (SELECT Contact.Name, Contact.Email FROM Account.Contacts), (SELECT Opportunity.Name FROM Account.Opportunities WHERE StageName = ‘Closed Won’) FROM Account. This pulls parent records with all related child records.
Step 4. Apply advanced filtering and aggregations.
Use WHERE clauses across related objects, aggregation functions (COUNT, SUM, AVG, MAX, MIN), and ORDER BY with LIMIT clauses. Example: SELECT Account.Name, COUNT(Opportunity.Id) FROM Account WHERE Account.AnnualRevenue > 1000000 GROUP BY Account.Name.
Step 5. Validate and execute complex queries.
Coefficient validates your SOQL syntax before execution and provides detailed error messages for debugging. Query results preview lets you verify data before full import, and the system automatically optimizes performance for large datasets.
Advantages over force.com connector limitations
Force.com connector imposed a 32-column limit on complex queries and required manual field type handling. Coefficient removes these restrictions with automatic field type handling for dates, numbers, and lookup relationships, plus unlimited columns for complex query results.
Execute your complex Salesforce queries
Stop limiting your Salesforce analysis to simple reports. Start using Coefficient to run complex SOQL queries with multi-object joins and advanced filtering.
