“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.”
HubSpot calculated properties have major limitations for lifecycle stage commission tracking. They can’t access data from multiple contacts simultaneously, can’t perform percentage calculations across contact groups, and can’t calculate commission amounts based on conversion rates between stages.
Here’s how to replace HubSpot calculated properties with dynamic spreadsheet calculations that actually work for commission tracking.
Replace calculated properties with Coefficient
Coefficient offers a superior alternative by replacing HubSpot calculated properties with dynamic spreadsheet calculations. Import your contact data, lifecycle stage information, and sales rep assignments into spreadsheets where you can create sophisticated commission tracking formulas that HubSpot calculated properties simply can’t handle.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import HubSpot data for commission calculations.
Connect to HubSpot and pull contact records with lifecycle stage information and sales rep assignments. This gives you the comprehensive data needed for commission calculations that calculated properties can’t access.
Step 2. Build sophisticated commission formulas.
Create spreadsheet formulas that determine how many contacts each sales rep moved between specific lifecycle stages. Calculate commission earnings based on conversion rates using complex logic like nested IF statements and COUNTIFS functions.
Step 3. Automate data refresh and calculations.
Set up scheduled imports to keep calculations updated automatically as new HubSpot data comes in. Use Formula Auto Fill Down to ensure commission formulas apply to fresh data without manual intervention.
Step 4. Sync results back to HubSpot.
Use scheduled exports to push calculated commission amounts back to HubSpot as custom properties. This gives you advanced calculations in spreadsheets while maintaining data visibility within your existing HubSpot workflow commission processes.
Get the mathematical flexibility you need
This approach provides the mathematical capabilities that HubSpot calculated properties lack while maintaining integration with your existing workflows. Start building commission calculations that actually reflect your team’s conversion performance.
