Santiago GMZ Create a trigger to calculate values
Hi
I have one formula field that has reached teh 5k character limit and still need it to do some extra calculations.
I reached out Salesforce Support for gudance, but only received a create an apex trigger to run teh calculation, also that they donot help to do any custom coding.
I know my way with Flows, formulas and validation, but in APEX I consider myself a NOOB . Can somebody if you can help me.
The thing is that the prevoiousAdmin created a Duplciate field
ACV & ACV (WPS) Mainly both fields calculate the same value but using diferent parameters depending of teh Opportunity record type.
They are set up in the following Matter:

Custom Field ACV__c type currency IF ( RecordType.Name <> "WHP - Opportunity", ACV_WPS__c , IF( (Contract_term_months__c > 0) && (Contract_term_months__c < 12), Final_MCV_number__c *Contract_term_months__c , Final_MCV_number__c *12) )ACV (WPS)
IF( OR( RecordType.DeveloperName='NCL_Logbox',RecordType.DeveloperName='Opportunite_Logbox_verrouillee',RecordType.DeveloperName='NCL_Logbox_Extension') && OR( ISPICKVAL(Type,'NCL - Nouveau Client'), ISPICKVAL(Type,'E - Extension'), ISPICKVAL(Type,'L - Nouvelle Ligne de Produits')), IF( NOT(ISNULL(Taux_logbox__c)),VA_prevu__c*Taux_logbox__c,VA_prevu__c*Taux_logbox_CG__c)+VA_prevu__c*Taux_logbox_CG__c ,null)
I tried to merge Both Fields inti a single one (ACV) but received the alert of maxium characters limit.
Obuusly the expression "IF ( RecordType.Name <> "WHP - Opportunity", ACV_WPS__c , " is not longuer needed.
Any ideas? suggestions, example coding ?
Thanks a lot!!!

Per my knowledge SF includes the characters of other formula fields too if you use them within the formula. ( i.e if you use a formula Age__c > 10) and Age__c itself has 5k characters, it will end up giving you an error.
On workaround to number of characters is to use Process builder to update your (Text/Number or whatever return type of formula you have ) on the object once your record is edited. The formula character limit doesnt cause a problem in process builder as such.
I suggest you combine your formulas in a Process builder and update your result field.
Let me know if it helps you.
