Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a bucket field to Salesforce Lightning reports.

Quick summary

A bucket field in Salesforce Lightning lets you group report values into custom categories without creating a formula field. This demo walks you through the exact steps to create a bucket field directly inside any Salesforce report.


Steps

  1. Click the gear icon at the top-right of your Salesforce dashboard to open settings.
  2. Scroll down in the menu and select Reports.
  3. Choose a report from the list to open it.
  4. In the left panel, find and select the field you want to group into buckets.
  5. Click the dropdown button next to the selected field to reveal field options.
  6. Click 'Bucket This Field' or 'Bucket This Column' from the dropdown menu.
  7. Give the bucket field a name, then create categories and define value ranges or select specific values.
  8. Once done, click 'Apply' to save and activate your bucket field in the report.

📌 Why this matters

Bucket fields in Salesforce Lightning allow sales and operations teams to segment report data into meaningful categories — such as deal size ranges or regional groups — without requiring admin-level formula fields. This no-code grouping capability speeds up report customization, reduces dependency on Salesforce developers, and helps teams surface actionable insights faster. For organizations relying on Salesforce reports for pipeline management and forecasting, bucket fields are an essential productivity feature that makes data analysis more flexible and accessible.
