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

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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