How to apply filters so the gauge chart calculates the sum only for records in a specific stage

For the gauge chart to calculate the sum only for a specific stage, use the calculated value option on the chart and apply a filter for the stage you want — the calculation then only considers records that match that criteria.

Why does filtering by stage matter for the calculation?

Without a filter, the gauge chart may sum every record in the table, mixing deals in very different stages — like "won," "lost," and "in negotiation" — into a single number. That skews the reading of the indicator, since closed values and values still in progress mean very different things.

Applying a stage filter ensures the value shown reflects exactly what the team needs to track, such as only closed deals or only ones still open.

How to configure the filter

  1. Turn on builder mode and edit the gauge chart.
  2. Choose the type of calculated value (sum, average, minimum, maximum, or record count).
  3. Apply a filter for the stage you want — for example, only records in the "closed" stage.
  4. Save — the gauge chart now shows only the result for that specific segment.

Setting Result
No filter Sums every record in the table
With stage filter Sums only the records in that specific stage
