Building custom MRR properties in HubSpot that ignore invoices older than X months

HubSpot can’t create custom properties that automatically ignore invoices based on age. The platform lacks date-based filtering for rollup calculations, and workflow-based property calculations can’t efficiently process large invoice datasets with complex date logic.

Here’s how to build truly custom MRR properties that respect time boundaries through external calculation and automated sync.

Create time-filtered custom MRR properties using Coefficient

Coefficient enables you to build custom MRR properties that appear native in HubSpot but contain sophisticated time-filtered calculations that the platform cannot HubSpot support natively.

How to make it work

Step 1. Create custom MRR properties in HubSpot.

Set up new custom properties in HubSpot like “MRR_Last_6_Months” or “MRR_Last_12_Months” to store your calculated values. These will hold your time-filtered MRR calculations and appear alongside other native properties.

Step 2. Import filtered invoice data.

Use Coefficient to import invoice data with filters like “Invoice Date is greater than [X months ago].” Use dynamic date logic with spreadsheet cells containing formulas like “=TODAY()-180” so your time filter automatically updates over time.

Step 3. Calculate MRR with sophisticated logic.

Build MRR calculations using spreadsheet formulas on the filtered dataset, handling recurring revenue logic, prorations, and subscription changes. Create separate calculations for different time periods (3, 6, 12 months) to provide various MRR perspectives.

Step 4. Automate property updates.

Schedule Coefficient exports to UPDATE the custom HubSpot properties with calculated MRR values daily or weekly. The dynamic date logic ensures your “X months” filter automatically updates, maintaining accurate time boundaries without manual intervention.

Get native-looking properties with advanced time filtering

This creates truly custom MRR properties that respect time boundaries while maintaining the automation and CRM integration that manual calculations cannot provide. Your properties will appear native but contain sophisticated calculations. Build smarter MRR properties today.

Building HubSpot reports with transaction data using date range filters for quarterly analysis

Building HubSpot reports with transaction data for quarterly analysis requires properly structured date fields, but HubSpot’s native reporting has significant limitations for complex date-based groupings and custom fiscal periods.

Here’s how to pre-calculate time periods and create the quarterly summaries that HubSpot reports can’t generate natively.

Pre-calculate quarterly periods for better reporting using Coefficient

Coefficient enhances quarterly reporting by letting you create custom time period columns and advanced aggregations in your spreadsheet before pushing to HubSpot or HubSpot . This overcomes HubSpot’s limitations with fiscal quarters and complex date calculations.

How to make it work

Step 1. Import transaction data and add calculated time period columns.

Use Coefficient to pull your transaction data into your spreadsheet. Create columns for different time periods using formulas like =YEAR(A2)&”-Q”&ROUNDUP(MONTH(A2)/3,0) for calendar quarters or =IF(MONTH(A2)>=4,YEAR(A2),YEAR(A2)-1) for fiscal years starting in April.

Step 2. Build quarterly aggregation tables.

Create summary tables that calculate quarter-over-quarter growth, rolling 4-quarter averages, and seasonal trends using SUMIFS and other advanced functions. For example: =SUMIFS(Amount,Quarter,”2024-Q1″) to sum all Q1 transactions or =(Q1_Revenue-Q1_Previous_Year)/Q1_Previous_Year for year-over-year growth.

Step 3. Push both detailed transactions and quarterly summaries to HubSpot.

Export your transaction records with the calculated period fields using Coefficient. Also push your quarterly summary data to company properties so HubSpot reports can access pre-calculated metrics like “Q1_Revenue” and “YoY_Growth_Rate”.

Step 4. Build HubSpot reports using pre-calculated period fields.

Create HubSpot reports that filter by your custom quarter/period properties instead of trying to use HubSpot’s limited date grouping options. Set up dashboard views for current vs. previous quarter comparisons and automated report delivery for quarterly business reviews.

Get the quarterly insights HubSpot can’t calculate

Pre-calculated time periods and aggregations give you sophisticated quarterly analysis capabilities that HubSpot’s native reporting simply can’t match. Start building better quarterly reports today.
