## Result

After the Actuals to date field is updated, the progress value for the target and its goal are auto-updated. For information on how the progress value is calculated, see [progress value calculation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/j7aQ19AQ5QWhRHoxGlCd8w "The progress or percentage complete value of goals is auto-calculated using different formulas. The formula depends on whether the goal has only targets, a combination of sub-goals and targets, and if it has weighted average calculation enabled."). For information on how the progress value is calculated for a target that has target breakdowns, see [Target breakdowns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/eohqwouRr1tZz0X51e7zgQ "Breaking down a target into smaller periods (for example, Monthly) helps you set a target value for each month and focus on that specific monthly target. The target breakdowns are automatically created based on the Check-in frequency and Target value distribution set for the target.").
