Dashboard number cards

Open Opportunity

Count of Opportunities with status Open.

In detail

An Opportunity is a deal you are working on: a group asking for a trek quote, a company wanting a service contract. This card counts Opportunities with status Open, with no date filter, so it is the live pipeline. Three Everest base camp enquiries show 3. Nothing posts to the ledger until a Quotation becomes a Sales Order and an invoice. The number is only useful if the team closes deals as Converted or Lost; stale opportunities make the pipeline look healthier than it is.

Formula

Open Opportunity = Count of Opportunity where status = Open
