Why did my Salesforce won deals suddenly jump?
The Salesforce help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: A win only shows once someone updates the deal in Salesforce, so wins entered late, all together, can land at once.
Is it broken, or just quiet?
A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Salesforce help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.
What causes it?
A win only shows once someone updates the deal in Salesforce, so wins entered late, all together, can land at once.
In the Salesforce help:
Update the relevant information in Salesforce to reflect the closed-won opportunity.
Work Your Opportunities, read 2026-11-12.Deals can be loaded into Salesforce in bulk with an import tool, so a large import can add many deals in one go.
In the Salesforce help:
Organizations with API access can import Opportunity records using the Data Loader application.
Import Opportunities into Salesforce, read 2026-11-12.Deals that were deleted can be restored, so won deals that come back can raise the count.
In the Salesforce help:
Restore deleted opportunities from the Recycle Bin.

How do I check it myself?
Before loading or updating many deals, try a few first and check the results.
In the Salesforce help:
We recommend running a test with a small subset of records first to verify the results.
Mass update records in Salesforce, read 2026-11-12.Keep a copy of your data before any bulk change, so you can compare and correct deals afterwards.
In the Salesforce help:
Always back up your data before performing any data operation.

How would I know the day it starts?
- Feder reads how many deals were won in Salesforce each day and compares each day with your own history.
- It does not see who imported, restored or updated deals. It tells you when deals won move outside their usual range, up or down.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See what Feder reads from Salesforce, which feeds Wins. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Salesforce.
What else goes wrong with these numbers?
