“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.”
Power Query’s Salesforce connectors present a performance paradox: Reports connector is fast but limited to 2000 rows, while Objects connector supports unlimited rows but becomes unusably slow with joins. Neither option effectively handles large datasets with relationships.
Here’s how to eliminate this performance trade-off through optimized architecture that delivers both speed and unlimited capacity.
Single import method handles unlimited rows efficiently
Coefficient eliminates this performance trade-off through optimized architecture. The Objects & Fields approach handles unlimited rows efficiently with native relationship processing, eliminating the need for expand columns operations. Related object fields are selected directly with server-side join processing versus local Excel processing.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up Coefficient with unified connector architecture.
Install Coefficient and connect to Salesforce with automatic optimization for both speed and capacity. The single integration method eliminates the need to choose between limited Reports or slow Objects connectors.
Step 2. Use Objects & Fields for optimal performance.
Select your primary object and related fields directly (Account.Name, Contact.Email, Owner.Role) in one operation. This delivers Reports connector speed with Objects connector flexibility while eliminating row limitations and performance bottlenecks.
Step 3. Configure bulk processing for large datasets.
Enable Bulk API optimization with parallel batch execution for datasets over 25,000 records. This typically delivers complete results in 3-4 minutes versus Power Query’s 30+ minute processing time with memory limitations.
Step 4. Set up automated refresh capabilities.
Schedule regular imports with real-time data sync capabilities. The consistent performance scales with dataset size, maintaining fast refresh times regardless of data volume or relationship complexity.
Get both speed and unlimited capacity
Power Query’s connector limitations don’t have to force you to choose between speed and capacity. Coefficient’s unified approach delivers Reports connector speed with Objects connector flexibility, eliminating row limitations and performance bottlenecks entirely. Experience the best of both worlds today.
