Salesforce Platform Developer I (legacy) — Question 77

Which three statements are true regarding cross-object formulas? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Cross-object formulas can reference fields from objects that are up to 10 relationships away.
• B. Cross-object formulas can reference fields from master-detail or lookup relationships.
• C. Cross-object formulas can reference child fields to perform an average.
• D. Cross-object formulas can expose data the user does not have access to in a record.
• E. Cross-object formulas can be referenced in roll-up summary fields.

Correct answer: A, B, D

Explanation

The correct options, A and B, highlight the ability of cross-object formulas to reference fields from a significant distance in relationships and various types of relationships. Option D is also correct as cross-object formulas can show data that a user may not have permission to view. Options C and E are incorrect because cross-object formulas cannot reference child fields for calculations like averages, and they cannot be used in roll-up summary fields.
