“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.”
The 32-bit vs 64-bit ODBC driver compatibility maze is one of the most frustrating technical hurdles in NetSuite Excel integration. 64-bit Excel can’t use 32-bit ODBC drivers, while Office 365’s mix of installations creates confusion about which driver version to install.
Here’s how to eliminate this architecture-dependent nightmare by operating at the application level rather than system level, plus universal compatibility that works regardless of Excel version.
Skip driver compatibility issues with Coefficient ‘s architecture-agnostic solution
NetSuite users can avoid the entire 32-bit vs 64-bit driver compatibility matrix through Coefficient’s Excel add-in framework. This works universally across Excel versions without any system-level driver installation or registry modifications.
The key advantage is automatic detection that adapts to your Excel version with cloud-based processing that handles data operations server-side, eliminating architecture dependencies entirely.
How to make it work
Step 1. Install Coefficient directly from Excel’s add-in store.
Open Excel → Insert → Get Add-ins → Search “Coefficient” → Click Add. This works identically across Excel 2016, 2019, 365, and online versions without architecture considerations.
Step 2. Connect using standard OAuth authentication.
Launch Coefficient and authenticate with NetSuite credentials. Communication happens via HTTPS/REST APIs that don’t require low-level system integration or driver compatibility.
Step 3. Import data using the universal interface.
Select Records & Lists, Saved Searches, or SuiteQL queries. The same functionality works whether you’re using 32-bit Excel on Windows, 64-bit Office 365, or Excel Online in a browser.
Step 4. Set up automated refresh.
Schedule data updates that work consistently across different machines and Excel versions. Updates are handled automatically through the add-in store without version-specific driver management.
One solution that works everywhere
This approach eliminates the need to research compatibility matrices, download correct drivers, or troubleshoot installation issues across different machines. You get consistent NetSuite data access whether you’re using Excel on Windows, Mac, or in the browser. Install Coefficient to connect NetSuite to Excel without driver compatibility headaches.
