Converting NetSuite saved searches to SQL queries is complex due to internal field naming conventions and unique data model structures. The translation process often introduces errors and loses the original search logic you’ve carefully configured.
Here’s how to use your existing saved searches directly in Excel, plus a better approach for users who need SQL-like functionality without manual conversion work.
Import saved searches directly without SQL conversion using Coefficient
NetSuite saved searches can be imported directly into Excel without any SQL translation. This preserves all your search criteria, filters, and custom fields exactly as configured in NetSuite’s interface.
For users who need SQL capabilities, Coefficient offers SuiteQL with built-in syntax assistance that’s optimized for NetSuite’s data structure.
How to make it work
Step 1. Install Coefficient and connect to NetSuite.
Add Coefficient from Excel’s add-in store and authenticate with your NetSuite credentials using OAuth.
Step 2. Import saved searches directly.
Select “Saved Searches” from Coefficient’s menu, choose your existing search from the dropdown, and click import. All search logic transfers without conversion.
Step 3. Use SuiteQL for custom queries (optional).
If you need SQL functionality, select “SuiteQL Query” instead. Write queries with NetSuite-specific syntax using autocomplete assistance for table and field names.
Step 4. Set up automated refresh.
Schedule your imports to refresh hourly, daily, or weekly. Both saved searches and SuiteQL queries update automatically without manual intervention.
Preserve your NetSuite configuration investment
This approach saves hours of SQL conversion work while maintaining the reliability of your existing saved searches. You get the same data in Excel without the risk of translation errors or lost business logic. Try Coefficient to import your NetSuite saved searches directly without SQL conversion complexity.
