    Hi,

    Any advice on how to identify which Accounts have no Contacts?  I thought there was a way with the Version 9 but it doesn't seem evident to me.  Help?

    Thanks in advance to everyone who responds.

    @Cara McCulloch - There is an option in ​Advanced Find using the "Does Not Contain Data" filter. You can find out more in this article: https://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/magnetismsolutionscrmblog/archive/2018/06/20/find-records-without-a-child-record-in-dynamics-365-v8-and-v9

    I use a Rollup field on the Account entity to track the number of Contacts related to each account.  It does take 24 hours before the field is calculated for the first time.  This article explains them very well. Define rollup fields

    Define rollup fields
    Applies to Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement apps version 9.x (on-premises) Rollup fields are designed to help users obtain insights into data by monitoring key business metrics. A rollup field contains an aggregate value computed over the records related to a specified record, such as open opportunities of an account.

    Ditto what Aaron posted.

    This new feature in v9 has been a great benefit.
