“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.”
ODBC connections for NetSuite require SuiteCloud Plus licensing, complex driver installation, and ongoing maintenance for connection stability, all while being limited to 100 concurrent connections.
Here’s how to get auto-refreshing financial metrics from NetSuite without ODBC complexity or performance limitations.
Get automated NetSuite financial data without ODBC drivers using Coefficient
Coefficient provides direct access to standard NetSuite financial reports like Income Statements, Trial Balance, and General Ledger without requiring ODBC drivers or SuiteCloud Plus licensing. You get more reliable data pipelines with automated refresh capabilities that outperform traditional ODBC connections.
How to make it work
Step 1. Configure OAuth connection for secure financial data access.
Set up one-time authentication that eliminates ODBC driver installation and configuration complexity. The OAuth connection handles token refresh automatically without the ongoing maintenance that ODBC connections require for stability.
Step 2. Import financial reports directly using Reports method.
Access Income Statements, Trial Balance, and General Ledger reports with configurable reporting periods, accounting books, and subsidiary views. This direct approach bypasses ODBC connection limits while providing comprehensive financial data extraction.
Step 3. Create custom financial calculations using SuiteQL queries.
Build sophisticated financial metric calculations using SQL-like syntax to join account, transaction, and subsidiary data. Calculate complex KPIs like gross margins, EBITDA, and cash flow metrics with 100K row capacity that exceeds typical ODBC performance constraints.
Step 4. Set up automated refresh schedules for financial dashboards.
Configure hourly, daily, or weekly refreshes that automatically update third-party dashboard tools through standard spreadsheet integrations. This provides more stable data pipelines than ODBC connection maintenance while ensuring current financial metrics.
Step 5. Connect to BI tools without ODBC limitations.
Export financial data to Tableau, Power BI, or other dashboard platforms through reliable spreadsheet connections. This eliminates ODBC’s 100 concurrent connection limit and reduces technical overhead while maintaining real-time refresh capabilities.
Simplify your financial data pipeline
This approach eliminates ODBC complexity and provides more stable automated refresh for NetSuite financial metrics. Start building reliable financial data connections today.
