You don’t need to parse JSON responses in VBA to convert Salesforce SOQL query results into Excel table format. Modern integration tools handle this conversion automatically with proper formatting.
Here’s how to run custom SOQL queries and get properly formatted Excel tables without any JSON parsing code.
Convert SOQL results to Excel tables automatically using Coefficient
Coefficient provides a built-in SOQL query builder with automatic Excel table formatting that eliminates manual JSON-to-Excel conversion in VBA. Instead of parsing JSON responses and mapping field names to column headers programmatically, Salesforce field names automatically become Excel column headers with proper data type preservation.
How to make it work
Step 1. Access the SOQL query builder.
In Coefficient, select “From Objects & Fields” when importing Salesforce data. This gives you access to custom SOQL query support where you can write complex queries joining multiple objects without JSON parsing complexity.
Step 2. Write your custom SOQL query.
Use the query builder to write SOQL statements that join multiple Salesforce objects. For example: `SELECT Account.Name, Opportunity.StageName, Opportunity.Amount FROM Opportunity WHERE CloseDate = THIS_MONTH`. Coefficient handles the REST API call and response parsing automatically.
Step 3. Let automatic field mapping work.
Coefficient automatically converts Salesforce field names to Excel column headers and preserves data types. Dates, numbers, and text maintain proper Excel formatting, while lookup fields are handled automatically without additional API calls.
Step 4. Handle related object data seamlessly.
Access related object fields through the automatic field mapping without writing additional queries. Coefficient manages the complex JSON response structures that would require extensive VBA parsing, including null values and special characters.
Run complex SOQL queries without JSON parsing
Skip the complexity of VBA JSON conversion and field mapping logic. Coefficient’s SOQL query support provides the same flexibility as custom REST API calls while automatically generating properly formatted Excel tables. Start your free trial and run custom Salesforce queries today.
