    Hi Shradha,

    The capabilities of cross-object formula fields are:

    • Formula fields can expose data the user does not have access to in a record.
    • Formula fields can reference fields from Master-Detail or lookup parent relationships.
    • Formula fields can reference fields from objects that are up to 10 relationships away.

    Hi Shradha,

    Cross-Object Formula Fields

    Provides the ability to reference the value of a field in a parent object from the child objects through detail pages, list views, and reports
    They can reference fields on parent or grandparent objects up to 10 relationships away
    Cross object formula is calculated as the records are viewed
    Cross-object formula also work from child to parent but only in master-detail relationship

     

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I think you need this -

    A. Formula fields can reference fields from master-detail or lookup parent relationships.
    B. Formula fields can expose data the user does not have access to in a record.
    C. Formula fields can be used in three roll-up summaries per object.
    D. Formula fields can reference fields in a collect of records from a child relationship.
    E. Formula fields can reference fields from objects that are up to 10 relationships away.

    Hope this helps.
