“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.”
CoefficientMigrating from Google Sheets to Excel often means losing automation capabilities, since Excel lacks the same native automation ecosystem.effectively bridges this gap by providing Google Sheets-like automation features within Excel’s more powerful calculation environment.
You’ll learn how to replicate your Google Sheets workflows in Excel while gaining access to superior analysis capabilities.
Replicate Google Sheets automation patterns in Excel
Google Sheets offers easy add-on integrations and seamless API connectivity, while Excel’s Power Automate requires complex technical setup. Coefficient eliminates this complexity by providing a familiar interface similar to Google Sheets add-ons.
The cloud-based approach ensures your automations continue working regardless of file location or sharing permissions, maintaining the accessibility that made Google Sheets attractive initially.
How to make it work
Step 1. Audit your current Google Sheets automations.
Document your existing data sources, refresh schedules, and any transformation logic. Identify which add-ons you’re using and what data connections need to be replicated in Excel.
Step 2. Connect the same data sources in Coefficient.
Use Coefficient’s sidebar to authenticate with your existing data sources. The same APIs and databases you used in Google Sheets can be connected through Coefficient’s 50+ pre-built connectors.
Step 3. Configure equivalent or enhanced refresh schedules.
Set up automatic imports with scheduling options that match or exceed your Google Sheets frequency. Coefficient offers hourly, daily, and weekly options with more robust reliability than Google Sheets’ native refresh capabilities.
Step 4. Implement filtering and data processing logic.
Use Coefficient’s dynamic filtering to replicate any data processing logic from your Google Sheets setup. Apply up to 25 filters with AND/OR logic, and point filter values to spreadsheet cells for flexible criteria.
Step 5. Test and validate data integrity.
Run your new Excel automations alongside your Google Sheets for a period to ensure data consistency. Verify that scheduling works reliably and automation continues functioning with file movements.
