Traditional customer data analysis involves exporting from multiple systems, combining files, and running VLOOKUP formulas – a process that takes 12+ minutes per customer. Teams need instant access to fresh account data for real-time decision making.
Here’s how to get complete customer account analysis in under 5 seconds using dynamic refresh capabilities that eliminate manual data exports entirely.
Achieve instant customer data refresh using Coefficient
Coefficient provides the fastest method through dynamic filtering and instant refresh capabilities. Instead of exporting and combining data manually, you get live connections that update all customer information with a single click.
How to make it work
Step 1. Create a dynamic control cell for customer selection.
Designate a single cell (like B2) for entering customer identifiers such as domain, account ID, or company name. This becomes your master control that triggers all data updates across your entire analysis.
Step 2. Configure dynamic imports with cell references.
Set up imports from your CRM, billing system, and product database. In each import’s filter settings, point to your control cell using dynamic references like {{B2}}. Configure filters such as “Account Name = {{B2}}” or “Domain = {{B2}}” so all data sources automatically filter based on your selection.
Step 3. Add one-click refresh functionality.
Insert Coefficient’s refresh button directly on your sheet. Now you can type any customer identifier, click refresh, and see all connected data update in 2-5 seconds. This replaces the traditional 12-minute export process with instant results.
Step 4. Use formula-based lookups for spot checks.
For even faster analysis, use lookup formulas like =salesforce_lookup(“Account”, A2, “Name”, “ARR, Industry, CSM”) or =hubspot_lookup(“Company”, A2, “Domain”, “MRR, Last Activity”). These return data instantly without requiring full import refreshes.
Step 5. Optimize for speed with selective field imports.
Only import fields you need for analysis and use indexed fields (IDs, domains) for fastest queries. Add auto-calculating metrics, conditional formatting, and dynamic charts that update automatically when new data refreshes.
