“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 external objects are inherently slow due to network latency, 100,000 record limits, and restricted SOQL operations that prevent GROUP BY, COUNT, or complex joins.
Here’s how to eliminate these performance bottlenecks and get faster access to your external data alongside Salesforce information.
Eliminate external object performance issues using Coefficient
Coefficient provides superior performance by importing external data directly into spreadsheets where it processes locally. This eliminates the network round-trip delays that plague external object queries while removing the 100,000 record limitation.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import external data with source-level filtering.
Connect Coefficient to your external database and apply filters at the source. This reduces data transfer time by importing only the records you need, not everything available.
Step 2. Set up local data processing.
Once imported, your data processes locally in the spreadsheet without API call limits or query latency. You can perform complex calculations and aggregations that are impossible with external objects.
Step 3. Schedule automated refreshes.
Configure hourly, daily, or weekly refreshes to keep your data current without the real-time query overhead that slows down external objects. Your team gets fresh data without performance impact.
Step 4. Combine with Salesforce data efficiently.
Import your Salesforce data into the same spreadsheet using Coefficient’s native connector. Now you can analyze millions of records together without the Governor Limits that restrict external object performance.

Stop waiting for slow external object queries to load. Start with Coefficient and experience the performance difference of local data processing.
