Reporting Table Tool

Hello, I am trying to identify if there is a way with the Reporting Table tool to ignore missing fields?

 

I am working through completely automating the way a report is built and each time it is run there would be different columns. I need to build a report that is emailed out so I need the Report builder tools. 

 

Any help is appreciated. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Stan

It should automatically ignore fields that aren't there, but were when you built it.  If you leave the "dynamic or unknown" box checked, then it will add any new fields that come in.

Hi @spdstan 

 

The table tool shouldn't have a problem ignoring fields unless those fields are used as a grouping field or in any expressions logic. Is a missing field causing an error for you or breaking something in your layout? Let us know and we'll see about digging in!

I made a mistake. The error was not related to the missing column. Thanks.
