Step 1: Install and Connect Coefficient
To start, install the Coefficient add-in in Excel. Go to the Insert tab, click “Get Add-ins,” search for Coefficient, and install it from the store.
Open the Coefficient add-in from the Home tab. Select Smartsheet when prompted to connect a data source.
Log in to your Smartsheet account and authorize Coefficient to access your data.

Step 3: Set Up Auto-Refresh (Optional)
