Formula Class

Contains methods to get a builder for creating a formula instance and to update all formula fields on the input SObjects.

Namespace

System

Usage

Use the Formula class in conjunction with the FormulaBuilder and FormulaInstance classes in the FormulaEval namespace.

See Formula Evaluation in Apex.

Example

This example creates a formula instance using Formula.builder() and the FormulaBuilder methods.

Formula Methods

The following are methods for Formula.

builder()

Creates an instance of FormulaBuilder for configuring the formula with formula expression, context type, and output data type as inputs.

Signature

public static formulaeval.FormulaBuilder builder()

Return Value

Type: FormulaEval.FormulaBuilder

recalculateFormulas(sobjects)

Updates (recalculates) all formula fields on the input SObjects.

Signature

public static List<System.FormulaRecalcResult> recalculateFormulas(List<SObject> sobjects)

Parameters

sobjects
Type: List<SObject>
List of sObjects whose formula fields are to be recalculated.

Return Value

Type: List<FormulaRecalcResult Class>

Usage

Recalculate formula fields on new or queried SObjects. If all data is present on the SObjects, SOQL limits are not affected. If the data required to evaluate a formula field is missing, that data is retrieved and limits are changed accordingly.

The new formula values are stored in the SObjects themselves and overwrite previous values of formula fields.

Example
