“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 charts cannot refresh dynamically when embedded on landing pages, as they become static images that lose all interactive connectivity to filter controls due to Excel’s web publishing limitations.
Here’s how to create truly responsive charts that update instantly when visitors change filter selections, providing an interactive data exploration experience directly in the browser.
Enable dynamic chart functionality with Google Sheets and Coefficient integration
Coefficientenables truly dynamic chart functionality through Google Sheets integration. This maintains the connection between filter controls and chart data when published to web, delivering what Excel web embedding cannot.
How to make it work
Step 1. Rebuild your Excel charts in Google Sheets.
Recreate your charts in Google Sheets, which supports dynamic chart updates when web-embedded. This platform change is essential because Google Sheets maintains chart-filter connectivity that Excel loses during web publishing.
Step 2. Set up Coefficient data imports for real-time chart data.
Use Coefficient’s scheduled imports to populate Google Sheets with your chart data automatically. This ensures your embedded charts stay current with your source systems without manual updates.
Step 3. Create charts that reference filtered data ranges.
Build your charts to reference data ranges that respond to filter controls. When visitors change filter selections, the charts automatically update to reflect the filtered data, creating true interactivity.
Step 4. Configure filter views that control chart data display.
Set up filter views that determine which data appears in your charts. Multiple chart types can respond to the same filter controls, providing comprehensive data exploration capabilities.
Step 5. Publish with Google’s native web embedding tools.
Use Google Sheets’ web publishing features to embed your interactive charts. Charts update instantly when visitors change filter selections, with mobile-responsive display and touch interaction support, requiring no browser plugins or downloads.
