Hello,

I am creating a dataset for Transactions and a Custom Object

I would like to see and use association labels, as in a normal report, but this seems impossible

Is there another way?

Thank you!

Hi @SLABONNE, I hope that you are well!  
Thanks for checking this with our Community!  
- So, you are trying to use association label in a report, right?  
- What do you mean by a “normal report”, is this a custom report?  
- Which data you would like to see exactly on the report?  
I’d like to share these resources that might be of interest to you:

To complete a bit my question, I am creating a Dataset from 2 objets. I cannot use the association labels in this dataset.  
I have tried to create a custom report with a Dataset, and the assocation labels are not accessible (contrary to a classic custom report)  
I would like to access the association labels in the dataset and create a formula using those association labels

Was there ever more info or an update on this? I’m trying to do the same. Can’t seem to make use of association labels in a custom dataset…
