Is there any way to create a rule to add a column to my reports in order to group accounts by specific data? I would like to create a formula that looks at # of employees field on the account object and buckets the account based on segment.

I don’t know if this helps but Row Grouping is an option based of already existing fields:

It sounds like you were looking for a way to group accounts with a range of numeric values (e.g. # of employees 1-100, 101-500, 501-1000) and have that be a brand new field/value in reporting?

Yes, trying to create new fields that will pull into a single column in reporting based on # of employees.

Maybe create custom field on your company object for “Employee Count Band” and then add a new drop-down list of values for your employee “banding” levels and then create a rule to pickup that value based on the ranges you desire against the source data and that should do it ??? 

 

I also think GS has some built in banding usually applied to ARR and market segmentation that could potentially be leveraged as well. Hope this was helpful? :)

Thank you @keith_mattes! I will definitely give this a try!

Thanks, Keith for your response, today leveraging rules to populate the field is the way for this.
