What Are Bucket Fields in Salesforce?

Hi,

Bucketing lets you quickly categorize report records without creating a formula or a custom field. For example, create a bucket field named Size based on the # Employees field. Then, create buckets that group records into “Large,” “Medium,” or “Small” ranges that you define. Bucket fields can be used like any other field to sort, filter, and group your report.

You can add up to five bucket fields per report, each with up to 20 buckets. Only numeric, picklist and text field can be used for bucketing. Other data types are not supported

Thanks

Hi Anurag,

A Bucket field helps you to group related records together by ranges and segments, without the use of complex formulas and custom fields. Bucketing can be used to group, filter, or arrange report data. When you create a bucket field, you need to define multiple categories (buckets) that are used to group report values.
The most advantage is that earlier, we had to create custom fields to group or segment certain data.

Hi,

In salesforce reports, bucket fields are used to categorize reports records . When we use bucket field in reports there is no need of creating formula or a custom field.

Thanks
