Hi @MMazurski hope you are doing great.

The first thing that comes into mind is

do you have the automated lifecyclestage update on?

Why am I asking this?

Because if you have this on

when a contact has an associated deal, it changes the lifecycle stage from lead to “opportunity”.

And once a deal is closed won it changes to “customer”.

So maybe the values you need to see for your report

are “Opportunity” and “Customer”, and not lead.

Just checking the obvious-not-so-obvious.
