# Measuring Time Between Two Goals in HockeyStack

### Overview

Measuring the time it takes to progress from one stage to another in your funnel is essential for understanding conversion speed and efficiency. There're two scenarios: two goals on the same object or on different objects.

### For two goals on the same object 

If both the start goal (ex: Deal Created) and the destination goal (ex: Closed Lost) are set on the same CRM object, follow these steps while creating a report:

#### Define Your Column

* **Metric**: Destination Goal (second stage of your conversion) > Time Between Date Fields

#### Select the Date Fields

* **Low Value**: The date field associated with your first goal (available in your goal definition).
* **High Value**: The date field associated with your second (destination) goal.

#### Divide by Ratio

* **Metric**: Destination Goal > Times Done

### Measuring Time for Goals on Different Objects

If the start goal and the destination goal are set on different objects, follow these steps:

#### Define Your Column

* Sequence of Actions: top: Start Goal, bottom: Destination Goal
* &#x20;Metric: Time Between First and Last Step (Ex: MQL > Stage 1)
* Over: Sequence of Actions: Start Goal > Destination Goal, Metric: Times Done
