How Are Rolling Metrics Actuals Calculated?

Rolling Metrics helps track your progress throughout the year. Here’s an easy way to understand how Actuals and Annual Targets are calculated.

Count-Type Metrics

For Count-type metrics, the annual target adds together using the following:

  • Actuals from past quarters (quarters that are finished)

  • Targets from future quarters (quarters that haven’t finished yet)

 

Example:
If Q1 and Q2 are done, and Q3 and Q4 are upcoming:

 Rolling Target = Q1 Actual + Q2 Actual + Q3 Target + Q3 Target
 
In the image below, this is set during Q3:

As this is set in Q3 and there are no Actuals for Q3 and Q4 quite yet, using the formula of  Annual Target = Q1 Actual + Q2 Actual + Q3 Target + Q3 Target, the Annual Rolling Target would be:
Rolling Target (1825) = Q1 Actual (400) + Q2 Actual (425) + Q3 Target (500) + Q3 Target (500)
 
 
💡 Tip: The calculation will not include the Actual from a Quarter that has passed if it is blank for Count Metrics.

Flat and Measurement-Type Metrics

For Flat and Measurement-type metrics, the Actual is always the most recently entered value—quarterly values are not summed. The Annual Target also does not sum quarterly values; it reflects the year’s defined target or the latest Actual, depending on the metric setup.

Quick Summary:

  • Actuals: most recent value entered

  • Annual Target: reflects latest Actual or pre-defined yearly target, not a sum of quarters
