# MTD (Month-to-date) metric tracking
Not all goals are the same. We at 10xGoals understand this and always strive to make your life easier with innovative and best in-class features. With MTD, users and teams with monthly targets will be able to seamlessly collaborate and track their progress to deliver better results!
**Example**- Ravi works as a sales manager at a big corporation. One of his goals is to grow the monthly sales of the products from 2 crores per month to 3.5 crores per month. To do this, he has set up a monthly goal of 2 crore, 2.75 crore and 3.5 crores for Jan, feb and march respectively. He wants to capture these monthly goals and track the progress against them.
**How can I enable MTD on my goals?** \
**Step 1:** After creating an objective, click on the objective and go to objective details \
**Step 2:** On the objective details page, click on the metric button \
**Step 3:** Add your metric name, metric type, start and end value and click on +Milestone\
**Step 4:** In the milestone pop-up, click on the Track monthly toggle\
**Step 5:** Add monthly targets for each remaining month of the quarter \
**Step 6:** Click on Save milestone.\
The quarterly metric for the goal will also change, start value will be 0 and end value will be the sum of all monthly targets
\
**How Can I provide Check-in for a MTD goal?** \
Check-ins for MTD tracked goals work same as normal check-in. You can do check-ins for the current month or the previous month by clicking on the check-in button on the objective details page and choosing the date of check-in. A check-in done for a date in january will change the achievement of January target .\
\
**How is progress calculated for a MTD goal?**\
When you enable MTD metrics in a goal, we change the quarterly target for it. \
We make the target for the quarter to be the sum of each monthly target, and the start value is fixed to 0. \
We also calculate progress and achievement for each month. \
So when the quarter ends, you are given a holistic view of progress for each month and the entire quarter as well. \
\
\
**How can I view my progress for the goal?** \
You can view the progress for a specific month, as well as for the whole quarter. \
We have also enabled a bar graph comparative view for you so you can easily compare achievement of metric against each monthly target.
There are a few other things you should know before you enable MTD on your goals-\
\
1.) When you enable MTD, all your existing check-ins on the goal are deleted. We do this to ensure cleanness of data and inputs so it can be tracked monthly. However, the deleted check-ins will always be available for you on the activity feed of the goal.\
2.) When you change your metric from mtd to a normal metric, all your existing check-ins for that particular goal will be deleted. They will be available only on the activity feed of the goal
