“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.”
Post-migration data validation catches errors that slip through the initial transfer process. Without systematic validation, you might discover missing records, broken associations, or field-level discrepancies weeks later when it’s much harder to fix them.
Here’s how to create automated validation dashboards that continuously monitor data integrity and alert you immediately when issues are detected.
Create live validation dashboards with continuous monitoring using Coefficient
Coefficientexcels at post-migration validation through live data connectivity and comparison capabilities. Unlike one-time validation tools, you can continuously monitor your migrated data to ensure ongoing integrity and catch issues as they develop.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import migrated data for comparison.
SalesforceSalesforceUse Coefficient’sorconnector to pull your migrated data into Google Sheets or Excel. This creates a live connection that updates automatically, giving you real-time visibility into your destination system’s data state.
Step 2. Build comparison formulas against source data.
Create spreadsheet formulas that compare your migrated data against your original source data exports. Use COUNTIF, VLOOKUP, and conditional formatting to identify record count mismatches, missing records, and field-level discrepancies between source and destination systems.
Step 3. Create automated validation reports.
Build validation dashboards showing key metrics like total record counts, missing associations, and field value discrepancies. Use Coefficient’s filtering capabilities to isolate specific data integrity issues and create summary reports that highlight problems requiring attention.
Step 4. Set up continuous monitoring with scheduled refreshes.
Configure Coefficient’s scheduled refresh features to automatically update your validation reports. This creates ongoing monitoring that catches data integrity issues as they develop, rather than requiring manual validation checks.
Step 5. Enable alerts for immediate issue detection.
Use Coefficient’s alert features to notify you immediately when validation formulas detect data integrity problems. Set up notifications for missing records, broken associations, or field value mismatches so you can address issues quickly before they impact business operations.
