Another great question has been asked to our Salesforce developers. The question was “how do I use bucket fields in my Salesforce reports?”

Bucketing lets you quickly categorize report records without creating a formula or a custom field within Salesforce.When you create a bucket field, you define multiple categories (buckets) that are used to group report values. We have created simple step by step instructions on how to create this report.

If you follow these step by step instructions for creating a bucket field in your Salesforce CRM:
Step 1 – In the report tab click on the “New Report” button

Step2 –Select a “Lead”and then create a new report
