Recipe formulas — engineering funnel stages
07 Jul 2026 1 min Swarnil Singhai
Metrics like conversion and time-in-stage don't exist in Salesforce — you engineer them here.
Formula fields to add
- Stage bucket — group granular stages into funnel steps (Prospect → Qualify → Propose → Close)
- Days in stage — a date diff between history timestamps
- Is converted — flag opps that advanced past each stage
- Deal size band — SMB / Mid / Enterprise from Amount
Example transform
daysInStage = date_diff("day", StageEntered, coalesce(StageExited, now()))Keep the logic in the recipe, not the dashboard — it's reusable and far faster to query.
