Discuss Salesforce Plat-Admn-202 Exam Topic 4 Question 4

Which two solutions prevent a formula field from being referenced by a Roll-Up Summary Field?

AA cross-object workflow updating a field referenced by the formula field

BA cross-object field reference in the formula field

CThe CASE () function in the formula field

DThe NOW () function in the formula field

Suggested Answer: B, D

A formula field cannot be referenced by a roll-up summary field if it contains a cross-object field reference or a time-based function. A cross-object field reference is a reference to a field from a different object, such as Account. Name on a Contact object. A time-based function is a function that returns the current date or time, such as NOW() or TODAY(). Option A and C do not prevent a formula field from being referenced by a roll-up summary field.

I lean towards B and C. The CASE() function adds complexity too.

Beata 6 months ago

A is a solid choice. Workflow updates can mess with formula fields.

Lenna 6 months ago

D seems tricky. The NOW() function shouldn't affect referencing, right?

Kattie 6 months ago

I agree with B. Cross-object references definitely cause issues with Roll-Up Summary Fields.

Bettina 6 months ago

I feel like A and C could also be valid. They change how the formula works.

Cassi 6 months ago

I think B and D are the right answers. Cross-object references can complicate things.

Lashandra 6 months ago

Nope, CASE() is not an issue, just the cross-object stuff!

Mila 7 months ago

I thought the CASE() function was fine for roll-ups.

Kelvin 7 months ago

Wait, the NOW() function too? That's surprising!

Emmanuel 7 months ago

Totally agree, that makes sense!

Dortha 7 months ago

A cross-object field reference in the formula field prevents it.

Nakita 7 months ago

I'm with David on this one. The NOW() function is about as useful for this problem as a chocolate teapot.

Latrice 8 months ago

Haha, the NOW() function in option D? That's like using a hammer to fix a leaky faucet. Totally irrelevant!

Valentine 8 months ago

The NOW() function in option D? Really? That's just a date/time function, not a solution to the problem.

Jill 8 months ago

The CASE() function in option C is not the right solution. That's just a regular function in a formula field.

Bettina 9 months ago

I think option A is also a valid solution. A cross-object workflow updating a field referenced by the formula field can prevent it from being used in a Roll-Up Summary Field.

Mollie 9 months ago

Option B is the correct answer. A cross-object field reference in the formula field prevents it from being referenced by a Roll-Up Summary Field.

Angella 9 months ago

I’m a bit confused about the cross-object workflow part; does that really prevent the roll-up from referencing the formula field?

Lemuel 9 months ago

I feel like I’ve seen a question similar to this in practice exams, and I think the CASE() function was mentioned as an issue too.

Erasmo 9 months ago

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about the NOW() function being problematic in formula fields.

Derick 9 months ago

Alright, time to put on my thinking cap. I'll start by analyzing each of the options and how they could prevent the formula field from being referenced.

Louvenia 10 months ago

I've seen questions like this before. I think the key is to focus on the specific solutions mentioned and how they might impact the formula field.

Kenneth 10 months ago

I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll need to review the concepts around formula fields and Roll-Up Summary Fields.

Iola 10 months ago

I think option B might be one of the answers since cross-object references can complicate roll-up summaries.

Tamar 10 months ago

Okay, let's see. I think the key is understanding what can prevent a formula field from being referenced by a Roll-Up Summary Field.

Amber 10 months ago

Hmm, this one seems tricky. I'll need to think through the different options carefully.

I feel like D is a safe bet to rule out.
