Salesforce is the leading CRM software that is being used by more than 150 million companies and their employees worldwide to store and manage data. But sometimes the huge data set that is collated at times will be difficult to analyze.

So why not concise and summarize it? The Easy Rollup application by Cyntexa helps your business to make it possible. One can create a roll-up summary on any object with any relationship type. Businesses can summarize and share the entire data across departments.

What is a Rollup Summary field in Salesforce?

When the data is collected, filtering is a problem. Regardless of the size of the organization when there is a need for a particular data then you will have to filter the whole data. With the Salesforce Rollup Summary feature, this time-consuming process is eliminated. You will not have to use codes as the rollup data will be summarized in a few clicks.

The Salesforce Rollup feature helps the users to calculate the values from a related list. Values can be displayed by creating a specific rollup field on the desired object. You can create a Rollup summary on the object having a Master-Detail Relationship but can’t create it for the ones having a Lookup relationship. The Rollup Summary Field in Salesforce helps in organizing, managing, and easily exporting the summarized data. With this feature, one can get 4 types of standard rollup data provided by Salesforce.
