You can connect NetSuite analytics to Excel without purchasing an expensive ODBC license by using modern API-based integration tools that leverage OAuth 2.0 authentication and REST Web Services.

This approach eliminates the $3,000-$5,000 annual ODBC licensing costs while providing more reliable connectivity and easier setup than traditional database connections.

Skip ODBC entirely with API-based connections using Coefficient

Coefficient bypasses ODBC requirements completely by connecting directly to NetSuite through REST APIs. Instead of complex database drivers and connection strings, you get a simple OAuth setup that works with your existing SuiteAnalytics Workbook permissions.

The tool handles all the technical complexity behind the scenes. You just need REST Web Services enabled in your NetSuite account and analytics access to start importing data immediately.

How to make it work

Step 1. Install the Coefficient Excel add-in.

Download Coefficient from the Microsoft Office Store and install it in Excel. The add-in appears in your ribbon and provides a sidebar for managing NetSuite connections.

Step 2. Configure OAuth authentication in NetSuite.

Have your NetSuite Admin complete the one-time OAuth setup. This involves creating integration credentials and deploying a RESTlet script that Coefficient provides. The entire process takes about 30 minutes.

Step 3. Connect and start importing data.

Use the Coefficient sidebar to authenticate with NetSuite using OAuth. Once connected, you can import from Records & Lists, Saved Searches, Datasets, or write custom SuiteQL queries. The tool supports up to 100,000 rows per query and handles 15 simultaneous API calls.

Step 4. Set up automated refreshes.

Schedule your imports to refresh hourly, daily, or weekly. Coefficient automatically manages token renewals and handles API throttling, so your data stays current without manual intervention.
