szesze20 Error: Compiled formula is too big to execute
Hi, when I save the below formula, it gave error:
Error: Invalid Data.
Review all error messages below to correct your data.
Formula(s) that reference this field are no longer valid: Compiled formula is too big to execute (5,735 characters). Maximum size is 5,000 characters
I'm looking for help to rewrite this formula to stay below the limit. Thanks in advance!

Consider "ISBLANK" instead of LEN(FIELD)=0; that should reduce the code size somewhat.
A better solution is to use a Workflow Field Update. Those formulas have greater leniency than a normal formula, since they are calculated only upon saving. Since your data appears to be solely dependent upon that record's data (i.e. does not cross object boundaries), this would be a better solution. Formula fields are better at "moving targets", such as when the outcome depends on the current day/time.
You'll have to create a normal field (one that can store data), and make it read-only (to avoid confusing users). Then, set a workflow rule to the field, and update all records with the data loader to force a recalculation. Note that when you (or any admin with Edit Read-Only Fields) views a record, it will still appear editable, but if your workflow is set up correctly, it will still overwrite the value in the field with the correctly calculated value.
Thanks sfdcfox. I tried what you suggested, it seems to get me closer to what I wanted to achieve, at least now it doesn't give me the error. Just to make sure I understood you correctly - should I put the criterion: Carrier = Main as the Workflow criterion? and then set the Field Update (as a formula to set the value) based on this Carrier criterion? I initially had the following in my Formula field:
Thanks again, I feel I'm getting closer!
