FormulaEval Namespace (Beta)

The FormulaEval namespace provides classes and methods to evaluate user-defined dynamic formulas for Apex objects and SObject types. Use the methods to avoid unnecessary DML statements to recalculate formula field values or evaluate dynamic formula expressions.

This feature is a Beta Service. Customer may opt to try such Beta Service in its sole discretion. Any use of the Beta Service is subject to the applicable Beta Services Terms provided at Agreements and Terms. You can provide feedback and suggestions for the feature in the Trailblazer Community.
