Reporting on junction object for many to many relationship

 

Hi,
I have 2 custom objects maproducts and macontacts. Since the macontacts can be of 3 different types like (prod, lead and marketing), I created many to many relation ship between the two custom objects using junction objects. Now the problem is I am not able to get a single report where i can get columns as maproduct, and 3 columns showing contact names for prod, lead and marketing contacts. Is it possible or the approach to solve the problem is wrong?

You can use Custom Report Type make it happen.

 

Custom report types allow you to build a framework in the report wizard, from which users can create and customize reports. You build custom report types off of the relationships (master-detail and lookup) between objects so that you can:

  • Choose which standard and custom objects to display to users creating and customizing reports
  • Define the relationships between objects displayed to users creating and customizing reports
  • Select which objects' fields can be used as columns in reports
