Need help with shortening a formula - optional products on quotes
Hi everyone,
we are trying to find a way on adding optional products on quotes. Since you cannot change the quantity to "Zero" we've tried to find a way in displaying "not offered" in the total price for those products. I've created a text field formula, that would work perfectly, if we weren't using 3 different currencies in our company EUR, GBP, USD).
Unfortunately the formula is too long (Error message: Compiled formula is too big to execute (5,341 characters). Maximum size is 5,000 characters).
Therefore we need to find a way to shorten it. Unfortunately we've couldn't find a way internally, that's why I'm asking the community.
The formula, that needs to be shortened is the following. SP_Q__c is a currency formula field totaling the price of a product incl. any discounts. The formula should convert the number into a text, while keeping the decimals.
CASE(Description,
"Optional", "not offered",
"optional", "not offered",
CASE( Quote.Opportunity.CurrencyIsoCode ,
"EUR", ( "EUR" & " " &
IF(FIND(".",TEXT(SP_Q__c))=0, TEXT(SP_Q__c)+".00",
IF (LEN(TEXT(SP_Q__c))-FIND(".",TEXT(SP_Q__c))=1, TEXT(SP_Q__c)+"0",
LEFT(TEXT(SP_Q__c),FIND(".",TEXT(ROUND(SP_Q__c,2)))+2)))),
"GBP", ( "GBP" & " " &
IF(FIND(".",TEXT(SP_Q__c))=0, TEXT(SP_Q__c)+".00",
IF (LEN(TEXT(SP_Q__c))-FIND(".",TEXT(SP_Q__c))=1, TEXT(SP_Q__c)+"0",
LEFT(TEXT(SP_Q__c),FIND(".",TEXT(ROUND(SP_Q__c,2)))+2)))),
( "USD" & " " &
IF(FIND(".",TEXT(SP_Q__c))=0, TEXT(SP_Q__c)+".00",
IF (LEN(TEXT(SP_Q__c))-FIND(".",TEXT(SP_Q__c))=1, TEXT(SP_Q__c)+"0",
LEFT(TEXT(SP_Q__c),FIND(".",TEXT(ROUND(SP_Q__c,2)))+2))))))
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Kathi,
It looks like for your CASE() statement for the ISO code, you're repeating the same code 3 times -- the only thing that seems to change is the ISO code itself. Because SP_Q__c is referenced in that repeated code 7 times, you're basically multipying the compile size of SP_Q__C x 7 x 3, and adding it to your current formula.
I think you can simplify this to be something like the following:
(I didn't get to paste that into a formula editor to validate it, but hopefully you get the idea.)
If you use additional currencies beyond EUR/GBP/USD, you might need to replace the last part with another IF() to check for OR(Quote.Opportunity.CurrencyISOCODE = "EUR", Quote.Opportunity.CurrencyISOCODE = "GBP", Quote.Opportunity.CurrencyISOCODE = "USD") but the next line would be the same.

Hi Shannon,
Thank you very much for your help with the formula. You're a star!!!
With some adjustment (the currency field is a picklist field) the formula now looks like that:
IF( LOWER(Description) = "optional", "not offered", TEXT(Quote.Opportunity.CurrencyIsoCode) & " " & IF(FIND(".",TEXT(SP_Q__c))=0, TEXT(SP_Q__c)+".00", IF (LEN(TEXT(SP_Q__c))-FIND(".",TEXT(SP_Q__c))=1, TEXT(SP_Q__c)+"0", LEFT(TEXT(SP_Q__c),FIND(".",TEXT(ROUND(SP_Q__c,2)))+2))))
Have a great day!
