#Reports & Dashboards103 debatiendo

I have a fellow System Admin who is able to create Report Subscriptions, but can't modify them, even subscriptions he created himself. He is just trying to modify the day and time that the reports are sent, but gets an error saying, "Subscription Unsuccessful. We couldn't set up your subscription. Try subscribing again. If you still can't subscribe, ask your Salesforce admin for help." He and I both have the same role and profile so I'm unclear why this is happening to him.

    Hi folks, 

     

    I think it was a problem with Scheduled Jobs - I'm not sure what got weird in there, but I deleted the relevant ones and after 24 hours he isn't receiving the error anymore. 

     

    Thanks, 

    Erica

Saw a notice today about a number of security changes happening with SF and the ones I have some questions on are around the new MFA prompting for when they run or view/export reports.  I know we can set a cool down period, but it looks like at least every 2 hours anyone looking at a report will need to redo MFA is that correct?  What about reports on dashboard, etc? Just wondering if anyone has any insight. Prepare for the upcoming Step-up Authentication requirements on Report Actions

    Step-up authentication for reports also deletes any unsaved report customizations. Sometimes I don't want to save the customizations. But since I cannot know when I am going to have to "step up" until I try an export, now I have to create new reports, save, and then delete when finished to avoid losing anything thanks to a sudden demand to "step up". SF really has their heads up up the backsides with this.

I would like to report on both activities with Leads AND Accounts in one report. I know there is the standard Task & Events

report type but I need to bring in some custom fields. 

I have a custom report type of

Accounts with Activities and Leads with Activities

but I want that all in ONE report. Is is possible to build such a report type? Basically mimic the standard Tasks & Events report type. 

I tried a joined report but there are no common fields (even though there fields that are the same in both reports). It just doesn't work.  Also I hate joined reports :-)

    Well what I really want, and do not think I can have, is a custom report type of Accounts and Leads with Activities.

This is how our forms are currently set up:

  • We email our segmentation list with a button that links to a separate landing page in Pardot.
  • That landing page contains a Pardot form.

The problem:

  • When someone clicks the email and signs up for a webinar (the purpose of the form which is a connected app), they often enter a personal email or an address that isn’t tied to their account. This makes it difficult to run accurate reports on the campaign tied to the form, which we want to see who registered and who didn't.

The question:

  •  Is it possible to autofill the email address they used to access the form so we can prevent contacts from entering a different email?

GOAL: Show Week over week report of what deals changed in the pipeline excluding closed won or closed lost deals 

 

Built a custom object (Pipeline Growth Snapshot) that takes a weekly snapshot of open opportunities to support week-over-week pipeline trend reporting. It works well for open deals, but we've found that once an opportunity closes (Won or Lost), it only gets captured one more time, the week it closes, and then never again. 

 

This creates a reporting problem: our week-over-week reports compare this week's number to last week's. Once a deal's snapshots stop, the next comparison is a real number vs. nothing, which displays as a large drop, even for deals that closed Won. There's no way from the report side to tell a real loss apart from a win that simply aged out of the snapshot window. 

 

Questions for anyone who's solved this: 

 

  • Is there a standard pattern for extending snapshot capture for closed opportunities (e.g., for 30-60 days post-close) specifically to support trend reporting, without keeping every closed deal in the snapshot indefinitely?
  • Has anyone used native Historical Trend Reporting instead of a custom snapshot object for this, and does it have the same limitation?
  • Any recommended way to flag, on the report itself, whether a dollar change came from a win versus a loss, without needing a live cross-object Stage lookup (our report type doesn't expose the Opportunity's live Stage field, only the snapshot's own captured Stage)?

Appreciate any patterns or gotchas others have run into with this.

    Hi C B - you've diagnosed it exactly: the snapshot filters to open-only, so closed deals fall out and a WoW comparison can't tell a win from a loss from an aged-out row. Here's the pattern for all three questions. 

     

    Q1 - extend capture for recently-closed deals: change the snapshot source criteria from 'open only' to 'open OR closed in the last N days'. If you snapshot with a scheduled Flow, filter the Get Records to IsClosed = false OR CloseDate >= TODAY() minus 60. If you use a native Reporting Snapshot, set the source report filter to 'Closed = false OR Close Date = LAST N DAYS:60' (filter logic 1 OR 2). Recently-closed deals then keep getting captured through the trend window and naturally age out once their close date passes 60 days - so you get WoW continuity without hoarding every closed deal forever. 

     

    Q3 (the important one) - flag win vs loss from the snapshot alone, no live lookup: capture the disposition ON each snapshot row at capture time. Add IsClosed and IsWon checkboxes to your Pipeline Growth Snapshot object and populate them when you write the row - or a small formula field 'Disposition' = Open / Won / Lost derived from the captured Stage. Because it's stored on the snapshot, the report reads it directly - no cross-object lookup to the live Opportunity Stage needed. Then bucket/group the WoW change by that captured disposition, so a deal that drops out because it was Won is categorized as a win, and only a genuine Closed Lost shows as a real pipeline decrease. 

     

    Q2 - native Historical Trend Reporting: it does not have the drop-out problem (it retains a deal's history for the retention window whether or not it closed), so it's worth a look. The trade-offs: it's limited to a rolling retention window (default ~3 months, configurable), tracks only up to ~5 fields, and the 'Opportunities with Historical Trending' report type/format is fairly rigid (matrix, a handful of snapshot dates). Great for 'what did this deal look like X weeks ago', but for bespoke WoW logic plus longer retention the custom object is more flexible - once you fix the source filter from Q1. So use HTR if 3 months and its report format is enough; otherwise keep your object and just widen the capture criteria and store the disposition. 

     

    Net: widen the source filter to include recently-closed deals, and stamp IsWon/IsClosed (or a Won/Lost/Open formula) onto every snapshot row - that combination kills the phantom drop and lets the report separate wins from losses with no live lookup. Hope that helps!

I'm trying to limit a report output to show only records within a specified date range using the Order Expected Date field.  There doesn't seem to be a filter option where I can select "between".  Can anyone advise the correct way for me to do this? My dates are between 01/11/2026 and 31/01/2028 inclusive of each  

 

 

On SalesForce report limit records to only those within a specific date range

    Hello @Donna McKell

     

    You can create two separate filters on the Order Expected Date field and combine them using Filter Logic. 

     

    - Open your report in the Edit mode and go to the Filters pane. 

    - Add the first filter for your start date: 

       Field: Order Expected Date 

       Operator: greater or equal (which handles the "inclusive of each" requirement) 

       Value: 01/11/2026 

    - Add the second filter for your end date: 

       Field: Order Expected Date 

       Operator: less or equal (inclusive of the end date) 

       Value: 31/01/2028 

    - Click Add Filter Logic (underneath the filters list). 

    - Enter the logic combining both filter numbers with an AND operator: 

      Example: 1 AND 2 

    - Click Apply, then Save and Run your report.

Hello Salesforce community, 

 I’m Salesforce AI Certified with year and half of experience at Apple and Seagate. I’m currently looking for opportunities to volunteer my Salesforce skills and support a nonprofit organization. 

 

I’m currently looking for opportunities to build hands-on experience with Salesforce and would be interested in either volunteer or professional opportunities where I can contribute my skills. I would really appreciate if you could direct to any nonprofits, organizations, or teams looking for Salesforce support. Thank you for your time!

    Hey Nupoor, 

     

    Great that you're looking to give back, a few solid places to start: 

     

    1. Complete the "Pro Bono Basics for Salesforce Professionals" trail on Trailhead first, it's specifically designed to prepare volunteers like you and helps you figure out where your skills fit best before you commit to a project 

     

    2. Salesforce's Impact Exchange (evolution of the old Pro Bono Program) is the main channel connecting volunteers with nonprofits/educational institutions looking for Salesforce help, worth checking there directly 

     

    3. This community group itself (

    #Volunteer

    Opportunities) is actively used by nonprofits posting real project needs, keep an eye on new posts here, and don't hesitate to post specifically saying "1.5 years experience, AI certified, available for X hours/week" since specificity gets more responses than a general intro post 

     

    4. Join your local Nonprofit or Higher Ed Trailblazer Community Group, a lot of pro bono matching happens informally through these local meetups rather than a central job board 

     

    5. Since you're AI certified specifically, mention that clearly when reaching out, nonprofits are increasingly interested in Agentforce/AI use cases but very few volunteers have that skill yet, it's a strong differentiator for you right now 

     

    One tip: many nonprofits prefer volunteers to have (or be working toward) the Nonprofit Cloud Consultant certification, not required to start volunteering, but worth knowing if you want to specialize in this space long-term.

Hello, 

 

I am trying to create a report that shows the cumulative surplus/deficit against the target, divided out over the remaining months of the financial year, to create a "real" target. For example, if by the end of January we are in a deficit of £1,000,000, the remaining 6 months will each need to achieve their original target but also an extra £166,666 to make up for the deficit so far. Note: we use the education year of Aug to July. 

 

I have a column for monthly surplus/deficit and a column for running surplus/deficit, but I am struggling to get a column that shows the current running surplus/deficit divided by the remaining months. Below is my report so far with dummy data: 

Formula to divide the surplus/deficit over the remaining months

 

And this is what I am aiming for (as we are in July, I have taken a few months out to show the intended use)

image (2).png

 

Note: End Date is the last day in the month; just set to calendar month here 

 

What is the best way to get this result?

    Your running surplus/deficit approach looks solid; the remaining step is just dividing it by the number of months left in the financial year so each month's adjusted target updates automatically. Helpful walkthroughs like this, along with https://y9.com.pk/, are always worth recommending.
