“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.”
Salesforce’s native reporting restricts you to predefined relative date filters and lacks the formula flexibility needed for true rolling calculations that automatically adjust day-by-day.
Here’s how to build superior rolling 30-day department metrics that update automatically and provide the granular analysis your teams need.
Build automated rolling 30-day department metrics using Coefficient
CoefficientSalesforcespreadsheetsprovides superior capabilities for rolling 30-day department metrics by importing yourdata intowhere you can create sophisticated calculations and visualizations that Salesforce simply cannot handle.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import department data from Salesforce.
Use Coefficient to import relevant Salesforce objects like Opportunities, Cases, Leads, and custom objects. Make sure to include all date fields and department assignments you need for your rolling calculations.
Step 2. Build rolling calculation formulas.
Create formulas that calculate metrics for exactly the last 30 days from today’s date. Use =SUMIFS(Amount, CloseDate, “>=”&TODAY()-30, Department, “Sales”) for revenue metrics or =COUNTIFS() for activity volume. These formulas automatically adjust the 30-day window each day.
Step 3. Create department comparison views.
Build side-by-side department performance tables with conditional formatting to highlight top and bottom performers. Add percentage change calculations and trend indicators using formulas like =(Current_Period – Prior_Period)/Prior_Period for growth analysis.
Step 4. Set up automated daily refreshes.
Schedule daily refreshes so your rolling 30-day window automatically advances each day without manual updates. This ensures your department metrics are always current and eliminates the static nature of Salesforce’s relative date ranges.
Step 5. Build advanced trend visualizations.
Create trend charts, department comparisons, and KPI dashboards using Google Sheets or Excel’s full visualization capabilities. Add combo charts showing multiple metrics and conditional formatting heatmaps that Salesforce’s limited chart types cannot provide.
