“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.”
You can sync NetSuite KPI data to Google Sheets automatically without writing a single line of API code. The solution eliminates manual downloads, reformatting, and the constant headache of outdated metrics.
Here’s how to set up live KPI dashboards that update on their own schedule, giving you real-time NetSuite data in familiar spreadsheet format.
Connect live NetSuite data to Google Sheets using Coefficient
Coefficient creates direct connections between NetSuite and Google Sheets through OAuth 2.0 authentication. Unlike NetSuite’s native export functions that require manual downloads and reformatting, this approach pulls live data into your spreadsheets automatically.
The platform offers multiple import methods for different KPI scenarios. Records & Lists work for direct KPI calculations from transaction data, Saved Searches import your existing NetSuite KPI reports, and SuiteQL Query handles complex KPI formulas. Each method maintains data accuracy while eliminating the manual export-calculate-format cycle that introduces errors.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up NetSuite OAuth authentication.
Your NetSuite admin handles the one-time OAuth configuration, deploying the required RESTlet script and configuring external URL settings. This creates secure API communication without requiring ongoing technical maintenance from end users.
Step 2. Choose your KPI import method.
Select Records & Lists for transaction-based KPIs like revenue per customer, Saved Searches to import existing NetSuite KPI reports, or SuiteQL Query for complex calculations that join multiple record types. Each method provides data preview showing exactly what will import.
Step 3. Configure automatic refresh schedules.
Set up hourly, daily, or weekly refresh cycles based on your KPI monitoring needs. Critical metrics like cash flow can refresh hourly while monthly performance indicators update daily. The system runs refreshes automatically based on your timezone settings.
Step 4. Build KPI calculations in Google Sheets.
Use the imported NetSuite data for KPI formulas directly in Google Sheets. Calculate metrics like customer acquisition cost, monthly recurring revenue, or inventory turnover using live data that updates automatically without manual intervention.
