Keita Tanaka 1 Formula error - field is not recognized
Hi everyone - I am Keita, preliminary user in Sales Force hence excuse me in advance if my question is "out of whack" .
I am trying to implment the following formula column for one of the summary reports I have generated to capture the days until "Bid due date", but every time I click "OK" to run the formula I encounter an error as per red description in the screen capture ("Error: Invalid custom summary formula definition: Field Bid_Due_date does not exist. Check spelling")
Formula: Bid_Due_date - TODAY ( )
1. Is there a specific sequence (i.e. number of spaces, Capital rules, underbar rules) when citing a Field in the formula?
2. How can I rectify this issue?
I have gone through the training material of which I can access, but do not understand what I am doing wrong here.
Appreciate your kind inputs!
Thanks,
Keita

It should be Bid_Due_date__c. then it will work as all salesforce custom objects/fields are alsways appended with __c.If this works then let me know.

Thank you so much for your inputs on this.
I did give it a shot on the above approach, but am still encountering the same issue. Just to confirm;
1. "_" This would indicate an underbar and not a space bar right?
2. How do you identify whether the field is a custom field or not - The "Bid Due Date" field can be selected from the left pane in the below screen capture and possible fed from each opportunity page.
Thanks you again,
Keita
