Quickly categorize report records without creating a formula or a custom
field by bucketing them. When you create a bucket column, you define multiple categories
(buckets) used to group report values. Like any other column in your report, you can sort,
filter, and group by bucket columns.

For example, get a view of your accounts based on how many employees they have. Create a
bucket column named Size based on the # Employees
field. Then, create buckets that group records into Small, Medium, and Large ranges that you
define. Small includes accounts with 5,000 or less employees. Medium includes accounts with
5,000 to 10,000 employees. Large includes accounts with more than 10,000 employees. Now you
can sort, filter, or group records based on how they’re grouped in buckets. If one account
grows or shrinks, it automatically switches buckets.
Note Consider a report with custom type and object for which you create a bucket column with a
total of more than 1000 characters across the bucket values. It’s possible for the buckets not
to appear when you group by columns in dashboards that use the report.
