When dealing with large lists in Salesforce CRM, it's essential to quickly determine the total number of records without having to scroll through thousands of rows. By default, Salesforce displays lists in batches of 200 rows, making it challenging to ascertain the total count. However, with SAQL, Salesforce Analytics Query Language, you can resolve this issue in an instant.
How to Create a List Counter with SAQL:
Create a Hidden Query
Use SAQL to create a query that counts the total number of records in your Salesforce dataset. The query will look like this:
Make sure to replace « DATA_TEST » with the name of your dataset and « TEST_1 », « TEST_2 », « TEST_3 » with the names of your fields.
Inject the Result into a Text Widget
Create a text widget in your Salesforce CRM dashboard. Use the SAQL query in the widget to fetch the total number of records.
- Click on the widget, then on « Add Query Data ».
- Select your query, then choose your dynamic text.
