Can Bucket fields be saved and used on other reports?

Best Answer chosen by Rahul 168

Hi Rahul,

 You could create a formula field on the object and it would be usable in all your reports on that object.
 Before bucket fields this was the only option.
 One of the big plusses for bucket fields was that admins no longer needed to create formula fields for this.
 But the cons are that the same bucket does often need to be created on multiple reports.
 You can always save a "template" with the bucket, and build new reports from there, to avoid recreating it.

Thanks,
Ajay Dubedi
