Hi Team,

 

When we use date time field in reporting and try to use count distinct function, it doesn’t show results explicitly for the given criteria, reason being, the date time field cannot be aggregated as count distinct of date only. We can however, create another field and load data using formula field for date type of datatype.

It would be great if we could get this without making any changes/creating any field, similar to what we have in Excel, etc. where if we have date time field, the count distinct function aggregates data same as the date field and only show the date field.

+1, we have several use cases for this need, specifically in trying to figure out a number of activity types which are done per day. Because of the datetime field the grouping doesn’t work. It would be great if there was a way to change this within Data Designer/Horizon Rules, in the same way that you can change a picklist field to a string field
