“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.”
Sales and leadership teams need instant access to customer performance data, but most solutions require SQL knowledge or depend on overloaded data teams. This creates delays and bottlenecks that slow down critical business decisions.
Here’s how to give your teams self-serve access to real-time customer data using familiar spreadsheet interfaces with zero technical barriers.
Access live customer data with no-code interfaces using Coefficient
Coefficient removes the SQL barrier entirely by providing point-and-click data access through Google Sheets. Teams can query Salesforce , HubSpot , and databases using dropdown menus and simple filters instead of complex queries.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up visual data imports using dropdown selections.
Open Coefficient’s sidebar and choose your data source. Select specific objects and fields through intuitive dropdown menus – no SQL syntax required. Apply filters using simple conditions like “Show me all deals closing this quarter over $50K” using natural language-style options.
Step 2. Create a control panel for dynamic data access.
Build a simple interface where teams can enter customer names or IDs in designated cells. Configure your imports to reference these cells, so changing the customer identifier instantly updates all related data across the sheet without any technical knowledge.
Step 3. Use formula-based lookups for instant queries.
Implement simple formulas like =salesforce_search(“Account”, “Industry = ‘Technology'”) or =hubspot_lookup(“Company”, A2, “Domain”, “MRR, Last Activity Date”). These work like familiar spreadsheet functions but pull live data from your business systems.
Step 4. Set up automated refreshes and alerts.
Schedule automatic updates (hourly, daily, or weekly) so teams always see current data. Add refresh buttons for on-demand updates and configure alerts for critical changes like deal stage movements or customer health score drops.
Step 5. Build executive dashboards with calculated KPIs.
Create performance metric calculations using standard spreadsheet formulas. Add charts, pivot tables, and conditional formatting to highlight important trends. Teams can explore customer segments and analyze performance without waiting for analyst support.
