“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.”
Salesforcecross filters are notoriously limited for complex negative filtering scenarios. Finding accounts with open opportunities but NO closed won deals requires advanced filtering logic that pushes cross filters beyond their optimal use case.
Here’s how to get better performance and more flexible analysis for this specific account filtering challenge.
Overcome cross filter limitations with Coefficient
CoefficientSalesforceprovides superior capabilities by importing the data once and performing analysis locally. This gives you faster results and unlimited complexity compared tocross filters.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import opportunity data with better performance.
Cross filters can timeout with large opportunity datasets. Import your data once using Coefficient and analyze it locally for consistently faster results.
Step 2. Build complex logic that cross filters can’t handle.
Use spreadsheet formulas for unlimited complexity:
Step 3. Set up dynamic opportunity stage filtering.
Instead of rigid cross filter setup, use Coefficient’s dynamic filters pointing to cell values. This lets you easily adjust stage criteria without recreating filters.
Step 4. Enable real-time analysis.
Coefficient’s automated refresh capabilities provide current data without the manual report running required for cross filter reports.
Step 5. Create enhanced visualizations.
Build custom dashboards combining this account analysis with data from other systems – something impossible with standard cross filter reports.
