Workflow automation breaks your formula ranges by adding data outside your existing structure, leaving new rows without the calculations you need for proper analysis.

Here’s how to automatically extend formulas to new rows, maintaining calculation consistency regardless of how much new data gets added.

Automatically extend formulas to new rows using Coefficient

Coefficient‘s Formula Auto Fill Down feature specifically solves formula range extension problems. This is one of the biggest advantages over basic workflow tools that add data without understanding your spreadsheet’s formula structure.

HubSpotWhen you importdata through Coefficient, the Formula Auto Fill Down feature automatically copies formulas in columns adjacent to imported data whenever new rows are added during refresh cycles.

How to make it work

Step 1. Set up your HubSpot import with defined data ranges.

Replace your workflow automation with a direct HubSpot import through Coefficient. Configure the import to target a specific data range within your existing spreadsheet structure, not random sheet locations.

Step 2. Position calculation formulas adjacent to imported data.

Place your calculation columns, lookup formulas, and data validation rules in columns next to your imported data range. This includes VLOOKUP functions, INDEX/MATCH formulas, and custom calculations that analyze your imported data.

Step 3. Enable scheduled refreshes to replace workflow triggers.

Configure hourly, daily, or weekly refreshes based on your data update needs. Each refresh cycle automatically detects formulas adjacent to your data and copies them to new rows with proper relative cell references.

Step 4. Verify Formula Auto Fill Down is working.

After your first refresh with new data, check that formulas have been automatically copied to new rows. The feature maintains relative cell references appropriately and works with complex formulas including conditional logic and nested functions.
