Purging Calculated Fields
When you purge calculated fields, you remove all the unused calculated field from the report definition. Report Builder purges only those calculated fields that are not in use in the report layout and are not part of the expression of an aggregate or calculated field that is in use in the report layout. The calculated fields also cannot be used as sort or group fields, or in a filter.
Follow these steps to purge a calculated field:
- Choose Calculations
Purge Calculations. If all the aggregate and calculated fields are in use in the report layout, Report Builder disables the Purge Calculations option. However, if there are fields not in use on the layout, you can choose the option. The Purge Calculations dialog box appears:
![]()
If all the defined calculated fields are in use in the report layout, Report Builder deactivates the Calculated Fields toggle box.
- Choose the Calculated Fields toggle box.
- Choose OK. A Purge Calculations dialog box appears listing the calculated fields that you can remove:
![]()
- Choose OK to purge all the listed fields and return to the report layout.
