Craig Coulter formula field limits
Hi All,
We have a number formula field which holds a Case function and the current compiled size is 9,788 characters and to add anyting else to it, we have to delete existing values. We need to continue to add to this, so what is the best way to do that?
Thanks
Craig

From https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.formula_field_limits.htm&type=5 m I see "Formula fields can’t exceed 15,000 bytes when compiled. "
If you need to add more logic to a formula field that has already reached its limits, you can consider using workarounds such as splitting the formula into multiple fields or using Apex code instead of a formula field
I'd suggest following the approaches listed in https://www.simplysfdc.com/2013/11/salesforce-formula-size.html?m=1

If the complexity of your calculations exceeds the capabilities of formula fields and workflow rules, you can consider implementing an Apex trigger. Triggers provide greater flexibility and can handle more complex logic and calculations. They can update fields, perform calculations, and store the results in separate fields, avoiding the formula field size limit.
