“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.”
When Lightning’s report builder crawls to a halt, you need reliable alternatives that deliver the same functionality without the performance headaches. Slow loading times and unresponsive interfaces shouldn’t block your reporting needs.
Here are three comprehensive methods to build Salesforce reports that completely bypass Lightning’s sluggish interface while providing enhanced capabilities.
Three fast alternatives using Coefficient
CoefficientSalesforceSalesforceprovides multiple pathways toandreporting that eliminate Lightning’s performance bottlenecks entirely. Each method offers distinct advantages depending on your specific reporting needs.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import existing reports instantly with “From Existing Report”.
Select any existing Salesforce report from your org and import it directly into your spreadsheet. This method provides immediate access to your data while Lightning struggles to load the same report. All fields and filters transfer automatically.
Step 2. Build custom reports using “From Objects & Fields”.
Choose any Standard or Custom Object, then select specific fields from comprehensive, instantly-loading field lists. Apply complex AND/OR filter logic through Coefficient’s responsive interface instead of waiting for Lightning’s sluggish UI to process your selections.
Step 3. Write advanced queries with “Custom SOQL Query”.
For complex reporting needs, write direct database queries that bypass both Lightning and traditional report limitations. Join multiple objects, create advanced aggregations, and access data combinations impossible in standard Lightning reports.
Step 4. Set up automatic refresh scheduling.
Configure hourly, daily, or weekly refreshes so your data stays current without requiring any interaction with Lightning’s slow interface. Choose from multiple scheduling options including specific times and days.
Step 5. Enhance reports with advanced features.
Use Formula Auto Fill Down for calculations that extend automatically to new rows. Apply advanced filtering options that often outperform Lightning’s native capabilities, including dynamic filters that respond to cell value changes.
