## Result

Once the Actuals to date field is updated, the progress value for the target is auto-updated. For information on how the progress value is calculated, see [progress value calculation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/6BMals3Fg0637Ky_pW6ysg "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.").
