Posted on by MDS 1,788

I have a view that references related entities. The column titles show the related entity in brackets. Is there anyway to stop this? Failing that, is there any way to generate a report based on a view that might allow me to manipulate the column title?

    You can create a custom SSRS report and use any column names you want there.

    But, you can't do it directly in CRM (advanced find, saved views, system views, report wizard)

    You cannot do it directly in CRM, but you can create Custom report through SSRS and use any columns whatever you want

    Thanks both. This is online - how can I create the report in SSRS?

    SQL reports won't work, but you can create Fetch-based reports:

    Yes , You Can !!

    Just go to your report >> Download the .rdl file >> Open the .rdl file in notepad(It will be in XML format) Edit the column name >> save the file as new >> create a new report using the edited rdl file.

    Your column name will be changed !!
