Unleashing Deeper Insights in Business Central
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central just got a powerful upgrade in its 2025 Wave 1 (BC26.2) release — especially for data enthusiasts and power users.
With the new feature, you can now add fields from related tables directly within Analysis Mode, offering a richer and more flexible way to dive into your business data. No more switching views or crafting complex reports — it’s all available within the analysis interface.
So, What’s New?
The update enables users to:

How It Works (Step-by-Step Visuals)
Simply click the drop-down arrow next to the Analysis View title, then select “Add columns from” to choose a related table.
