Need report showing number of lifecycle stage during a given time period

I have searched and can’t find an answer to this question on Community and none of the reports I’ve created are showing what I want it to show.

We are trying to pull a report to show how many SQLs have been created during a given time. The problem that we keep running into is that if we have created 5 SQLs for June and then 1 turns into an Opportunity in June, the SQL number drops down to 4. We need it to show 5 so that it takes into account every SQL that was created during a given time period - regardless of if they moved lifecycle stages since.

Please help. Thanks!

Hi @MNaughton,

Instead of visualising the count of contacts by create date and current lifestyle stage, you can use the “Date entered [lifecycle stage]” properties. This property will store the date when a contact became a SQL, for example, even if they move on to another lifecycle stage.

Fastest way to create this report:

  1. Navigate to Reporting & Data > Reports > Create report > Single object > Contacts
  2. Set up the report like shown below

:slightly_smiling_face:

Make sure the Filters (top left) also reference the “Date entered” property.

Let me know if you have any followup questions!

Thank you! I was also checking the lifecycle stage box which was messing the report up. I appreciate the quick response.

Is it possible to have a breakdown for all lifecyclestages in 1 report?
So 5 columns per month with the amount of companies that entered in that month?

Is it possible to showcase all lifecyclestages as seperate column on a month X-Axis?

Hi @Timyvanroy,
Thank you for posting to the Community!
Since Karsten was able to provide the Accepted Solution of this thread, I would like to tag him in again to see if he has any suggestions.
Hi @karstenkoehler! Do you happen to know if it’s possible to show all lifecycle stages as separate columns on the X-axis of the report?
Thank you!

Hey @MNaughton

To create a report showing the number of SQLs created during a specific time period,

Navigate to Reporting & Data > Reports.

Click Create Custom Report, then click Custom Report Builder.

When building your report, drag a date field into the Compare by channel.

Click the date-based field and use the dropdown menus to select the filter period and time range, and determine whether the periods are in a next or last timeframe.

Click Apply, then when you’re finished building the report, click Save report.

For more details kindly visit this article here: Compare date ranges in the custom report builder

We hope this will help!
