Deleting a Calculated Field
When you delete an individual field, you remove it from the report definition even if it is in use in the report layout or used indirectly as part of the expression of a field that is in use in the report layout. This means that Report Builder automatically removes all instances of the field from the layout.
NOTE: You cannot delete calculated fields used as join fields without first deleting the table joins that use them.Follow these steps to delete a calculated field:
- Choose Calculations
Calculated Field. The Calculated Fields dialog box appears.
- Select the calculated field you want to delete.
- Choose the Delete button. If the field you are trying to delete is aggregated or used in another calculation, Report Builder lists all calculated and aggregate fields that will be affected by the deletion.
You can choose Cancel to retain the field or OK to delete it. If you choose OK, Report Builder removes the selected field from the report. If you choose to delete a calculated field that is in use in another field’s calculation, Report Builder deletes both the selected calculated field and all fields that contain it in their calculations.
NOTE: You cannot delete calculated fields used as join fields without first deleting the table joins that use them.- Choose OK to delete the field and return to the report layout.
