  • The date range for the goal must be within the date range for the report.

Add a sales goal reference line in the report builder

You can create single-object deal reports that track revenue goals to measure your impact over time. HubSpot provides a set of standard reports in the report library, and Professional or Enterprise users can customize these reports or create a custom report.

This type of report should be used for vizualisation purposes and does not add sales goal data to the report. 

When creating a revenue goal report, keep the following in mind:

  • You can add revenue goals to a report by adjusting the Display options in the report builder. The report must be a single-object deal report that includes a date property. The report must also use the Line or Area chart type.

    include-monthly-reference-line
  • When using revenue goals in custom single-object reports, it's recommended to include a filter for a specific pipeline associated with the goal. Otherwise, all pipelines will be factored into the report.
  • Revenue goal is calculated as follows: (goal revenue / total number of days in the selected date range) x number of days so far in the selected date range. For example, if the date range in your report is set to This month, the calculation would be: (goal revenue / total number of days in the month) x number of days in the month so far.

You can manually add goals to reports created with the advanced custom report builder. A monthly goal can be added in the custom report builder for the following chart types:

  • Vertical bar, Line, and Area charts with a date property on the X-axis.
  • Horizontal bar charts with a date property on the Y-axis.

If your report meets one the above criteria, you can add a monthly goal to the report by clicking Chart Settings in the Configure tab of the report builder.
