I spent the first YEAR of my time on Salesforce without knowing about the Filter Logic feature on reports. I passed my Certified Administrator and Developer exams without knowing about the Filter Logic feature on reports. I built MANY an unnecessary formula checkbox field because I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE FILTER LOGIC FEATURE ON REPORTS

Account Custom Field: New, Increased, or Recovered? ~ salesforce.com - Enterprise Edition

Look how dumb this is….

Report Builder: Filter Logic

I could have just done this.

Report Builder: Add Filter

It’s right there in the dropdown.

Report Builder: Edit Filter Logic

And it takes an amazingly short amount of time to configure.

OOF

In short, I am very embarassed I didn’t know about this. But if I didn’t know about it for this long, maybe you didn’t either.
