Picklist in formula Field?

Posted by Shubham on March 30, 2016 at 2:14 PM

I want to use a picklist in a formula field also I have created a custom object. I want to display this field on my custom object. how to achieve that without using a Formula field since I cannot use a picklist in the way I want. I do not want to override the pages with visualforce I know this is one way to just put an output field of the picklist on the page.

I am trying to do is: contact__r.Active__c.

Create a formula field output type must be TEXT. Then use Text() formula like this:-

Text(contact__r.Active__c)

Now put that formula field in page layout to get value in formula field.

May be you can use this:

Try TEXT(Account__r.Operational_Status__c)

Hi,

Create a formula field of text type and put this expression in it –

Text(Sobject__c.Picklist__c)

Hop this helps.
