Deleting Fields

Follow these steps to delete any field on the report layout:

  1. Select the field you want to delete.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Choose Edit Delete.
    • Choose the Trash Can button.
    • Press DELETE.
    • Report Builder deletes the selected field.

Deleting differs from cutting in that you cannot paste the deleted fields elsewhere on the report. The exceptions to this rule are aggregate and calculated fields. If you delete fields by mistake, however, you can choose Edit Undo Last Delete or choose the Trash Can button again to insert the most recently deleted fields in their original position.

When you delete an aggregate or calculated field from the report layout, you do not remove it from the report definition. It is still defined and available for use in the report definition. To remove an aggregate or calculated field from the report definition, you must delete or purge it. See "Aggregate Fields," for information about removing aggregate fields; see "Calculated Fields," for information about removing calculated fields.
