Roll-up Solution When a Roll-up Summary Field Can't be Used

2024/02/29

In Salesforce, many businesses need to see aggregated data from child records on a parent record. For example, to show the sum or average of closed won Opportunities on a Custom Object, like Industry. They may always want to choose the first or last child record, and from that selection, display a key piece of text, such as the first Campaign that triggered a response at an Account.

Salesforce is more than a CRM company now—it has a multitude of cloud- and industry-focused solutions and a large marketplace of consulting and app vendors available to customize it via the Salesforce AppExchange. The platform requires a high degree of customization (and most likely packaged apps) to meet your needs; it’s just not a set of licenses you are buying from Salesforce. So by design it can be incredibly helpful for many companies to establish a strategy for implementing Salesforce.
