“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.”
Traditional CRM reporting requires complex custom formulas, workflow rules, or rollup fields to achieve cross-object filtering based on related record counts. These solutions are technical, time-consuming, and often require administrative permissions.
Here’s how to create sophisticated cross-object count filtering without any custom formulas in your CRM system using a no-code approach.
Build cross-object count filters without custom formulas using Coefficient
CoefficientSalesforceenables cross-object count filtering without any custom formulas in. You can filter accounts by deal pipeline size, contacts by engagement levels, or campaigns by participation rates using point-and-click setup that requires no CRM configuration changes.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up single import with related object data.
Use Coefficient’s “From Objects & Fields” to import parent records (like Accounts) including related child data through standard lookup relationships. This pulls Account information along with related Opportunity, Contact, or Activity data in one import.
Step 2. Calculate related record counts using spreadsheet functions.
Leverage native spreadsheet functions like COUNTIF or create pivot tables to calculate related record counts per parent. For example: =COUNTIFS(Account_ID_Column, Current_Account_ID, Stage_Column, “Qualified”) counts qualified opportunities per account.
Step 3. Apply dynamic threshold filtering.
Use Coefficient’s point-and-click dynamic filters where count values meet your threshold criteria. Set filters to show accounts with >5 opportunities, contacts with <3 activities last month, or campaigns exceeding member targets.
Step 4. Configure automated refresh for current data.
SalesforceSet up automated refresh cycles to maintain current cross-object aggregation without manual work. Yourdata stays current and your count-based filters update automatically.
