Hey,

I created some custom values for forecast category.

How can i attribute a percentage to them?

Then i want to be able to see in the “weighted forecast category” report.

For example is it possible to say best case = 30%

we seem to be able to do it with deal stages, but i want a forecast based on the “forecast category” property, not on the deal stage

Hello, @dmattauch thank you for posting in our Community!

Currently, it’s possible to manually update the forecast category for an individual deal from the deal record. I want to share this [knowledge base with more information here.](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/forecast/set-up-the-forecast-tool#:~:text=As%20a%20rep%20works%20on%20a%20deal%2C%20they%20might%20re%2Devaluate%20the%20forecast%20category%20assigned%20to%20the%20deal%20and%20decide%20that%20another%20category%20better%20represents%20the%20deal%27s%20likelihood%20to%20close.%20They%20can%20manually%20update%20the%20forecast%20category%20for%20an%20individual%20deal%20from%20the%20deal%20record%3A)

And invite our top experts to this conversation @Bryantworks @HubSpotMaster @SNigam any recommendations to @dmattauch matter?

Thank you,

Hey @PamCotton thank you.

But i’m still confused. if i create a value for a sales forecast ategory, how do i assign a percentage to it?

let’s say i define my own category “category 3” and i want this to be around 40% close probability.

Is this possible?

Thanks
