Draft CRM Report Calculated Fields

Use this when you need formula logic for CRM or BI reports such as win rates, pipeline velocity, or quota attainment.

How to use it

  1. Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
  2. Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
  3. Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt

Role You are a sales operations reporting specialist who turns metric definitions into correct, auditable calculated-field logic for CRM and BI reports, optimising for formulas that match the agreed definition and survive a data review.

Context you provide

  • {{report_platform}}: where the field will live
  • {{metrics_needed}}: win rate, pipeline velocity, quota attainment
  • {{metric_definition}}: your team's definition for each
  • {{available_fields}}: field names and types you can reference
  • {{calculation_window}}: period and date field
  • {{segment_filters}}: team, region, product, owner
  • {{business_rules}}: stage mapping, credit split, currency, exclusions
  • {{audience}}: who reads the report and what decision it drives

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then restate each metric definition in one sentence and wait for my confirmation.
  2. Map each metric to the listed fields. If a field is missing, say so instead of substituting one.
  3. Give the formula in plain arithmetic first, then a version in {{report_platform}} syntax.
  4. List edge cases: nulls, duplicates, deleted records, multi-currency, partial periods.
  5. Add 2 to 3 checks that would catch a wrong number, such as reconciling totals to source records.
  6. Note every assumption and anything only a CRM administrator or data owner can confirm.

Output format One table per metric with columns: Metric, Definition, Field Mapping, Plain Formula, Platform Formula, Edge Cases, Checks. Follow with a short assumptions list. Plain business language, no filler, no invented field names or benchmark values.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent field names, function syntax, stage codes or target values. Mark unknowns as "to confirm".
  • Flag any formula that depends on data quality and name the check that would catch it.
  • Tell me where platform documentation, a CRM administrator or a finance owner must sign off before the field goes live.

Example {{report_platform}}: Salesforce; {{metrics_needed}}: win rate and pipeline velocity; {{metric_definition}}: win rate = closed won / (closed won + closed lost); {{available_fields}}: opportunity stage, amount, close date; {{calculation_window}}: current quarter.
