Show Unique Count in Salesforce Reports [1]

May 15, 2024 by melanie.jones@cu.edu [2]

Reports can often have the same contact listed numerous times, so identifying the unique count is important to confirm the Report criteria is accurate. Having a total 9,000 unique contacts when expecting 250 is an indicator of incorrect criteria and should be investigated.

To show the Unique Count:

  • Edit the Report
  • In the Contact ID column header, click the down arrow
  • Select Unique Count in the dropdown

null

  • Run the Report to see the Record Count versus the Unique Count

null

IMPORTANT

  • Do not leave the Unique Count enabled if sending as doing so will make it fail.
  • To remove a unique count:
    • Edit the Report
    • In the Contact ID column header, click the down arrow
    • Select Remove Unique Count in the dropdown
    • Save the Report

null
