Few months back, we discussed Last Activity date fields, which only available in  Report, List View, and API (including Formula Field, Workflow and Validation Rule) for Account, Contact, Opportunity and Lead object.

This blog will cover 2 more fields : Age and Stage Duration. These fields only available in Standard Opportunity report type, but not using custom opportunity report type.

For closed opportunity, the number of days between opportunity Created Date until Close Date (not when it closed). This include Closed Won and Closed Lost opportunities.


Stage Duration
