“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.”
Using developer tools for data extraction requires technical expertise, faces browser DOM limitations, and may violate organizational security policies regarding unauthorized data access methods.
Here’s an authorized approach that addresses the same business need – getting report data for analysis – while maintaining compliance and security standards.
Get authorized data access for business users using Coefficient

Organizations that remove export rights often do so to prevent unauthorized bulk data downloads while still supporting legitimate business analytics needs withandintegration.
How to make it work
Step 1. Install Coefficient as a business-appropriate solution.
Add Coefficient to Google Sheets or Excel as a professional data integration tool designed for business users. This eliminates the need for technical HTML/JavaScript knowledge and potential security policy violations.
Step 2. Establish supported integration vs. unsupported extraction.
Connect to your Salesforce org through official API channels rather than developer tools manipulation. This maintains compliance with organizational security policies while providing reliable data extraction.
Step 3. Access complete data vs. limited DOM content.
Select “Import from Existing Report” to access complete datasets through authorized integration channels. This provides full data access independent of UI changes, unlike developer tools methods limited to currently rendered content.
Step 4. Preserve data types, relationships, and formatting automatically.
Import your data with maintained original formatting and data relationships. This eliminates the time-intensive manual process required when extracting through developer tools.
Step 5. Set up automated updates vs. manual repeated extractions.
Configure scheduled refreshes for ongoing data access without repeated manual extraction attempts. This provides controlled, auditable data access through authorized integration channels.
