Displaying Case data on Asset object using formula

Hi All,
Please help me on this scenerio.
There is a Lookup field to Asset Object already exists
1. Created a new text field "C1" in Case Object
2. Created a new formula field "A1" in Asset Object

How can I display the data from Case Object's "C1" Field to Asset Object's "A1" field using the formula.

Anyhelp will be appreciated.

Thanks,
JG

Hii James George

1. I Think Its Not Showing In Your Org Cause May Be You Have Asset Lookup on Case(i.e you've made asset lookup in case object)  That's Why It's Not Showing Case Fields While Inserting Fields In Fromula



2. To Get Case Field Value From Formula Field In Asset Object You Have To Make Case LookUp in Asset Object Then You Can And Be Able To Insert Case Fields in Formula 

Thanks CharuDutt

Hii James George
Try The Below Trigger.
As You've Lookup On Case Object And Formula Field On Asset Object. So Formula Field On Asset Object Can't Access The Field On Case Object However You Can Access Field Of Asset Object On Case Object By Formula Field 
trigger test on Case (before insert,before update) {
    list<Asset> lstAsstToUpdate = new list<Asset>();
    set<Id> lstAsst = new set<Id>();
    string FldUpdate;
    If(Trigger.IsBefore){
        If(Trigger.IsInsert||Trigger.IsUpdate){
            For(Case Ocase:Trigger.new){
                lstAsst.Add(Ocase./*Add Asset lookup Field Here*/);
                fldUpdate = Ocase.C1__c;
            }
        }
    }
    for(Asset Oasst : [select Id,A1__c From Asset Where ID In:lstAsst]){
        Oasst.A1__c = FldUpdate;
        lstAsstToUpdate.add(Oasst);
    }
    Update lstAsstToUpdate;
}

Hi CharuDutt,
I tried your above solution but did not work as Case and Asset cannot be reached through Cross Object Formulas as they are only related through Lookup relationship.
Asset Formula
Thanks for trying to help me though.

Thanks,
