Determining Win Percentage In Report

Hi, I've tried applying the Power of One rules and failed spectacularly.  I'll just lay out what I have and where I want it to go.

I'm looking to simply categorize the opportunities that are in the stage "Closed Won" as a percentage of total opportunities for that opportunity owner.

Any help appreciated!

Hi,

Why don't you use a simple formula with a new checkbox field ?

Create a custom field on the Opportunuity object 

Label = is Closed Won
Datatype = Formula
Result = Checkbox
Formula =  AND( IsClosed = TRUE, IsWon = TRUE )

then add that to your Report and use a Custom Summary Formula like this

Opportunity.is_Closed_Won__c:SUM/  / RowCount

People are reluctant to create new fields just for a SOQL request or a report but it is the only quick solution with Salesforce.
And that's why also you cannot obtain the results directly.

Otherwise, you just use the graphs with stack to 100% (but you need to put the cursor over the bars to see the percents).

If you use the buckets, you cannot get the percents by row sums only in a matrix.

The check-box it creates is read only; I don't have an "isWon" or "isClosed" checkbox associated to opportunities, so I'm a bit lost.

Hi,

The standard objects are very specific.


Create a new field for opportunity (type checkbox)

Won => isWon
Closed => isClosed

Let me know for the next step.

It is a very common technique in Salesforce but as soon as I talk about  a new custom field, people are lost and give up (so they failed for many reports).

I hope you will succeed because you need this new custom field.
