“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.”
Salesforce’s time-based reporting becomes severely limited when you need to combine conditional counts with averages across time periods in a single view. The platform can’t efficiently handle dual metric reporting within time-based groupings.
You’ll learn how to create comprehensive time-based analytics that combine conditional counting with averaging calculations while maintaining automated updates and flexible time range adjustments.
Build comprehensive time-based dual metrics using Coefficient
CoefficientSalesforceeliminates these constraints through advanced time period calculations and conditional logic. You can combine conditional counts with averages across any time grouping using livedata connectivity.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import time-based data from Salesforce.
Pull in data including date fields and metrics to be analyzed. This gives you the foundation for both conditional counting and averaging calculations across time periods.
Step 2. Create time period groupings using date functions.
Establish consistent time buckets. Monthly: =TEXT(date_field,”YYYY-MM”). Quarterly: =”Q”&ROUNDUP(MONTH(date_field)/3,0)&”-“&YEAR(date_field). Weekly: =WEEKNUM(date_field)&”-“&YEAR(date_field). These become your grouping references for both metric types.
Step 3. Calculate conditional counts by time period.
Build conditional count formulas: =COUNTIFS(date_range,”>=”&period_start,date_range,”<="&period_end,condition_range,criteria). This counts records meeting specific conditions within each time period boundary.
Step 4. Calculate averages by time period.
Create corresponding average calculations: =AVERAGEIFS(value_range,date_range,”>=”&period_start,date_range,”<="&period_end). This provides standard averaging alongside your conditional counts for comprehensive time-based analysis.
Step 5. Use Formula Auto Fill Down for automatic time period extension.
Set up automatic formula extension so calculations automatically include new time periods as they occur. Your dual metrics expand to cover new months, quarters, or weeks without manual formula updates.
Step 6. Configure scheduled refreshes and dynamic filtering.
SalesforceSet up automated data updates to keep both metric types current withchanges. Add dynamic filtering for flexible time range adjustments that update both conditional counts and averages simultaneously.
