Monthly Bookings vs Quota Chart

Can you describe your data a bit more? Does it already contain your total bookings for the month and your goal for the month? Seems like you could very likely use a beast mode to try to get where you're going data wise. 

As for the chart the Line + Stacked bar might work well, where the line is your goal for bookings and the bar shows actual bookings (as opposed to setting the goal manually within chart properties this'll allow the goal to be different each month.

Ah I get it.  Yeah I think using a Domo Online form (or whatever spreadsheet you're currently getting the goal data in) would work well.  Then you can use a data flow to join the two.  This'll make it easier to put new data in for future years/months.

Or you could also use a "case when" in beast mode to essentially say:

When date = January 2018 then goal is x

But that seems like a lot more work to maintain.

All good I'm happy to try to help!

First, can you send me what colums exist in your SalesForce data that are pertinent to bookings? 

We can use that to understand the granularity that you're starting from to try to get to your monthly bookings number.  Is it individual transactions? Daily numbers? Monthly numbers?

Then once we've gotten your monthly booking number we'll know what you need in the goal so that you can match the two up in a data flow.

Perfect, so your data might look something like this:

Main data set:
Transaction Id    Close Date    Amount
1                         01/01/2019    25.00
2                         01/15/2019    10.00
3                         01/20/2019    25.00
4                         02/01/2019    25.00
5                         02/15/2019    10.00

Goals data set (domo web form):
Month                   Goal Amount
01/31/2019           50.00
02/28/2019           40.00

Then you can use a Data Flow with each of those datasets as an input.  In the Data Flow you can use the Close Date field and the Date Operators to create a field called Month that marks them each with a date that gives you the end of that month.  At which point your main data set would look something like this:

Main data set:
Transaction Id    Close Date    Amount   Month
1                         01/01/2019    25.00      01/31/2019
2                         01/15/2019    10.00      01/31/2019
3                         01/20/2019    25.00      01/31/2019
4                         02/01/2019    25.00      02/28/2019
5                         02/15/2019    10.00      02/28/2019

Then you can group the Main data set by Month, at which point your data would look something like this:

Main data set:
Amount   Month
60.00      01/31/2019
35.00      02/28/2019

the do a join with your Goals data set at which point your data would look something like this:

Joined data set:

Amount   Month           Month_1      Goal Amount
60.00      01/31/2019   01/31/2019   50.00
35.00      02/28/2019   02/28/2019   40.00
