  • 1.  Summary Report Grouping Options

    Posted 07-29-2019 20:33
    Would like to Group a Summary Report on Contains or some other filter. Anyone have any solutions to make this happen?

    I'm thinking about creating a formula field and trimming and then grouping on that.

    Thoughts?

    The field I want to group on is grouping by exact values and I need to group on values that start with or contain, which is not an option.

    My Excel brain says "use a helper field". Would that work for you here?

    I created a new formula field and used left() to group, it works.

    Yep, there you go.

    Perhaps worth noting that some report types do natively include 'first word' grouping as an option (I know bar charts, which have their own weaknesses, do have this choice).
