“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.”
Excel pivot tables cannot maintain their interactive filtering capabilities when displayed on public landing pages due to Microsoft’s web publishing security restrictions and browser compatibility issues.
Here’s how to create truly interactive pivot tables that preserve all filtering and analytical capabilities when embedded on public websites.
Recreate pivot tables in Google Sheets with Coefficient for web interactivity
Coefficientenables a superior approach using Google Sheets’ pivot table functionality. This maintains full interactivity when web-published, delivering the analytical experience Excel web embedding cannot provide.
How to make it work
Step 1. Recreate your Excel pivot tables in Google Sheets.
Build equivalent pivot tables in Google Sheets using the same data structure and analysis from your Excel version. Google Sheets pivot tables maintain full interactivity when web-published, unlike Excel’s static web output.
Step 2. Establish automated data imports using Coefficient.
Use Coefficient to create automated data imports to your Google Sheets pivot tables from the same sources feeding your Excel version. This ensures your web-embedded pivot table reflects current data without manual intervention.
Step 3. Configure live data updates with scheduled refreshes.
Set up Coefficient’s scheduled refresh capabilities to update your pivot table data automatically. Choose from hourly, daily, or weekly updates to keep your public landing page current.
Step 4. Set up interactive pivot table controls.
Configure pivot table fields and filters that visitors can adjust directly in the browser. Google Sheets preserves all filtering, drilling, and manipulation features when embedded on landing pages.
Step 5. Publish with appropriate public access permissions.
Use Google Sheets’ publishing tools to make your pivot table accessible on your landing page. Visitors can adjust pivot table fields, apply filters, and analyze data without downloads, providing mobile-responsive design for cross-device accessibility.
