Rollup Field

Rollup Field

A rollup field type helps in obtaining the aggregate value of several pieces of data that are relevant to a specific record. It performs quick calculations and computes formulas through data linked across tables.




Note: To use rollup field, the tables need to be linked using the Link field type.


How & When to use a Rollup Field?

Let's consider the below-shown sales lead tracking table as an example.
Table 1 - Leads-July: shows a list of leads obtained from various sources



Table 2 - Reps: shows the details of sales reps handling each lead.



If you're working on Table 2 and need to see the total sales value achieved by each sales rep, all you have to do is enable the rollup field type in Table 2. The rollup field type will collect all the closure values by each rep in each account and it will display the sum of closure values by each rep in the relevant records.


Step 1: Choose where you want to add a new field. This field will display the data pulled from other tables. Add a new field and choose Rollup from the list of available field types.


In this example, a rollup field is added in Table 2 in order to calculate the total sales value closed by each rep.



Step 2: In case you have multiple linked fields, you also have to choose the linked field from which you want to perform the calculation.

Step 3: Choose the field to perform the rollup

In this example, the chosen linked field is referring to Tables 1 - Leads-July and the field to rollup is Closure Value.




Step 4: Now, choose from the available formula suggestions to roll up data from the linked records. The options for formula vary according to the data type in the chosen field.

In the example, the SUM function is chosen to calculate the total sales closure value by each representative.

Step 5: Click Create





Upon clicking the Create button, you can see that the data are collected from Table 1 through the linked field "Links to Leads-July" and the sum of the closure value achieved by each rep is calculated and displayed in their respective record.



From the reference table illustrated at the beginning of this article, you can see that 5 out of 15 leads have been closed.


Rollup field has retrieved closure values achieved by each rep, calculated the sum of closure value and displayed it in the relevant rep's record. In a nutshell, rollup saves the time and effort that is consumed to switching between tables and manually calculating these values, thus making cross-referencing in fields/tables hassle-free.


Note: A rollup field is read-only. Values displayed in this field cannot be edited. 

You can add multiple rollup fields on the same table.
