Without having access to the data myself, this is my initial thinking...
Relate Invoices to these Sales goals (or this could be done with a sync table if you don't want to relate it directly). I assume the salesperson is already on (or could be added to the invoice). The Sales goal would be the parent with Invoices as the child. I assume there is only one salesperson per invoice.
You can then create your summary fields by quarter, type, and annual... I assume the information you'd need to filter these summaries is already included on the invoice (ie quarter & type). Separating it by salesperson will happen automatically as part of the relationship.
Then it's just a matter of adding formula fields to the Sales goal table to give you the %.
In my head, I believe this will do the trick for you. Let me know if it helps 😀👍

Sharon, so quick question.... On the association I understand I make the relationship in Quick Base. However, do my users have to associate an invoice with a sales goal record? Otherwise are they not linked? I am not quite sure how we get that association to match. I basically need to auto match the sales goal with the sales person and year. Otherwise they are not going to link....
I dont think manually associating makes sense as the users wouldnt really understand the relationship and why they need to match them up. Unless I just need to explain it and they need to make it habit.
