How many more deals were required for us to meet the target?

[farhankhan2007]

Hello all,

Actually last week we did not meet our sales target. So now I would like to ask my co-worker by by how many orders we fell short?

Could anyone please let me which would be the right one?

1) How many more deals were required for us to meet the target?
2) How many more orders if we had closed, so that we could have met our target?
3) How many more orders if we had closed, so that we would have met our target?

I am trying to guess it more with if clause.
All three seem right to me, but not sure again.

Many thanks.

Perhaps:

How many more orders did we need to close to make our sales target?

How far short were we?

Thankyou Piscean.
Would you mark statement number two and three as incorrect or ungrammatical or maybe not natural?

2 and 3 are incorrect and ungrammatical.
