Note: Standard formulas (those with the System Formula field selected) cannot be deleted. Also, a formula can only be deleted if the formula is not currently used in a report.
On the Edit Report screen for the selected report, delete the formula from the report, if needed, and save the report by clicking the Save button.
Steps to Delete a Formula from a Report
Note: If the report to edit is not yet open, first complete the following: from the Report Writer screen, click on the name of the view group in the Report Groups List that contains the report with the formula to delete and click on the name of the report to edit in the Reports List (or click the Find button instead to search for the desired report); then click the Edit Record button located at the top of the screen.
Then click the Formulas button or select the Maintenance menu and then Formulas.
At the Formulas screen, enter the name of the formula to delete in the Formula Name field. If the name is not known, click the down-arrow button or the Find button to select the correct one.
Once the formula to delete is displayed on the screen, click the Delete button; when prompted to delete the record, click Yes.
Click the X in the upper right-hand corner to return to the Edit Report screen.
