Name field in User object is not accessible in Formula Field

Hi

 

I have a formula which is exceeding 5000 characters when compiling.

 

I used AccountMAnager__r.Firstname+' '+AccountMAnager__r.Lastname in the formula. I see that there is Name standard field on User object. This field is not accessible in Formula field.

 

Is there any way to reduce my formula characters while compiling. Please help.

 

Thanks

The name is not accessible directly. We need to conctenate first name and last name.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

You can add custom formula fields to evaluate parts of your formula, and then evaluate the final result in your target formula field.
