“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.”
You can import Salesforce formula fields and calculated values into Excel automatically, addressing the common limitation where manual exports often lose formula calculations or display incorrect values. This maintains the integrity of calculated fields during automated imports.
Here’s how to preserve Salesforce calculations and keep formula field values current in your Excel analysis.
Import formula fields with preserved calculations using Coefficient
CoefficientSalesforceexcels at importingformula fields and calculated values. Unlike CSV exports that may show formula syntax instead of calculated values, this approach imports the actual calculated results from Salesforce’s database.
How to make it work
Step 1. Access all available formula field types.
Import complete field sets from any Salesforce object or report, including standard formula fields (like Opportunity probability calculations), custom formula fields (complex business logic calculations), roll-up summary fields (aggregated values from related records), and currency conversion calculations.
Step 2. Use “From Objects & Fields” for specific formula selection.
Select the “From Objects & Fields” method to specifically choose formula fields alongside standard fields. This gives you granular control over which calculated values to include in your Excel analysis.
Step 3. Set up automated refresh for current calculations.
Configure refresh schedules so when underlying data changes in Salesforce affecting formula calculations, your Excel data reflects updated calculated values automatically. Choose from hourly, daily, or weekly refresh intervals based on your needs.
Step 4. Include related object formula fields.
Access formula fields that reference related objects through lookup field support, maintaining complex relationship-based calculations. This preserves sophisticated business logic that spans multiple Salesforce objects.
Step 5. Apply filters to formula field values.
Create filters based on formula field results – like filtering opportunities where formula-calculated score is greater than 75. Combine this with Excel’s Formula Auto Fill Down feature to create additional calculations based on imported Salesforce formula values.
Maintain calculated field integrity automatically

Automated import preserves all calculated values while providing refresh capabilities, ensuring your Excel analysis always reflects current Salesforce formula calculations.your formula fields today.
