Question about calculating R of a trade when taking partial profits

If I set up a 3:1 R:R trade and it completes to target, and I don’t take any profits until it reaches that target then my R for the trade is 3

What I’m trying to figure out is if say I decide to scale out of the trade at an R value of 1 and then 2 and it does not complete the final target at R = 3 …this R value would depend on how much I take off at each partial??

I am trying to capture the trade expectancy for each trade but if I was to take partial profits I’m not sure how to calculate the R value or expectancy in that case - hoping someone can help me with this? thanks!
