Need a field to be used for summarizing, distinct counts?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 250

Hello,

In Dynamics 365 do you have to create a field set to the value of 1 to be used for summarizing and counting in reports?  I have several reports that have to be recreated and many of them used a "power of one" field for summarizing and distinct counts. I haven't quite gotten into reports yet so while I'm still creating fields if I need those I can just include them upfront.

Thanks!

    Thanks for the response, Adrian.  

    SSRS is a separate package, right?

    Hi  JonesEA_2018,

    You do not need to do this as you can display this information in a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) report.
