“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.”
Standard workflow automation dumps new rows at the bottom of your sheet, completely ignoring your existing data structure and breaking your carefully designed formulas.
Here’s how to fix this problem and get new data inserted exactly where it belongs, with all your formulas automatically applied.
Replace workflow automation with intelligent data imports using Coefficient
CoefficientThe core issue is that basic workflow tools treat your spreadsheet like a simple data dump. They don’t understand your layout, formulas, or data structure.solves this by creating defined import ranges that respect your existing spreadsheet organization.
HubSpotWhen you importdata through Coefficient, new records get added systematically to your designated data range. The Formula Auto Fill Down feature automatically extends formulas in adjacent columns when new rows are added during refresh cycles.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up your HubSpot import in Coefficient.
Connect to your HubSpot account through Coefficient’s sidebar. Select the object you want to import (contacts, deals, companies) and choose your specific fields. Configure the import to target your existing data range instead of letting it append randomly.
Step 2. Position your formulas adjacent to the import range.
Place any calculation formulas, lookup functions, or data validation rules in columns next to your imported data. Coefficient’s Formula Auto Fill Down will detect these formulas and automatically copy them to new rows.
Step 3. Configure scheduled refreshes.
Set up hourly, daily, or weekly refreshes to replace your workflow triggers. Each time new data comes in, it gets added to the correct location with all formulas automatically applied.
Step 4. Enable Formula Auto Fill Down.
This feature ensures that complex formulas like VLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, and custom calculations automatically extend to cover new records. Your spreadsheet maintains formula consistency regardless of how much new data gets added.
Get structured data insertion that actually works
Try CoefficientThis approach gives you reliable row insertion logic that workflow automation simply can’t match. Your new data appears exactly where it should, with all formulas intact.to fix your workflow automation headaches.
