“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.”
Google Sheets pivot tables don’t offer native weekly grouping options – only day, month, quarter, and year. This creates a major roadblock when you need to analyze Salesforce opportunity data by week.
Here’s how to solve this limitation using Coefficient’s AI Sheet Assistant to generate week grouping formulas automatically, eliminating the need for complex manual date calculations.
Transform daily sales data into weekly groups using Coefficient
Instead of wrestling with complex WEEKDAY and DATE functions, Coefficient’s AI handles the formula generation for you. The AI Sheet Assistant converts natural language requests into proper formulas, making weekly pivot table analysis straightforward.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import your Salesforce opportunity data.
Use Coefficient to pull your sales opportunity data directly from Salesforce into Google Sheets. This ensures you’re working with live, up-to-date close dates and opportunity information. Set up automatic refreshes so your data stays current without manual exports.
Step 2. Generate the week grouping formula with AI.
Click the Coefficient AI button in your sheet and type: “Create a formula that converts the dates in column D to the start of their week (Sunday)”. The AI instantly generates the correct formula like =D2-WEEKDAY(D2,2)+1 and places it in your sheet without any manual typing or syntax errors.
Step 3. Apply the week-start column to your pivot table.
Once you have the week-start date column, use it as a row or column field in your pivot table. This gives you proper weekly grouping that Google Sheets can’t provide natively. Your opportunities will now group by week instead of individual days.
Skip the formula research and get straight to analysis
This approach transforms a frustrating Google Sheets limitation into a simple natural language request. No more searching Stack Overflow for date formulas or debugging syntax errors. Try Coefficient to streamline your weekly sales analysis.
