Purging Aggregate Fields
When you purge aggregate fields, you remove all the unused aggregate fields from the report definition. Report Builder purges only those aggregate 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 aggregate fields also cannot be used as sort or group fields, or in a filter.
Follow these steps to purge an aggregate 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, and the Purge Calculations dialog box appears:
![]()
If all the defined aggregate fields are in use in the report, Report Builder disables the Aggregate Fields option.
- Activate the Aggregate Fields toggle box.
- Choose OK. A Purge Calculations dialog box appears listing the aggregate fields you can remove:
![]()
- Choose OK to purge all the listed fields and return to the report layout.
