“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.”
You can build enterprise-grade data pipelines for BI tools like Looker Studio and Power BI using spreadsheets, without needing data engineering expertise, SQL knowledge, or expensive ETL tools.
Here’s how to transform ordinary spreadsheets into powerful data pipeline platforms that extract, transform, and load data from multiple business systems into your BI dashboards.
Build enterprise data pipelines using spreadsheets with Coefficient
Coefficient democratizes data engineering by connecting 70+ business systems to spreadsheets with point-and-click simplicity. You can extract complex data, transform it using familiar spreadsheet functions, and load it into BI tools – all without writing code.
How to make it work
Step 1. Extract data from multiple sources without API knowledge.
Connect business systems like Salesforce, HubSpot, QuickBooks, and databases using Coefficient’s visual interface. Apply advanced filtering with up to 25 filters using AND/OR logic. Access nested data and associations without writing complex joins or queries.
Step 2. Transform data using familiar spreadsheet tools.
Clean data with IF statements, TRIM, and CLEAN functions. Join data from multiple sources using VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH. Create aggregations with pivot tables and build calculated fields with simple formulas. Use Coefficient’s AI to generate insights automatically from your transformed data.
Step 3. Load data to your BI tools with automated scheduling.
Connect your transformed Google Sheets directly to Looker Studio or use Excel with Power BI. Set up scheduled refreshes so your data pipeline runs automatically – hourly for sales data, daily for financial reports, or weekly for executive dashboards.
Step 4. Implement advanced pipeline features without coding.
Use incremental loading to append only new records while maintaining history. Set up data quality checks with conditional formatting to flag anomalies. Configure error handling with alerts for failed refreshes. Create data snapshots for automatic backup and version control.
