    Results

    Salesforce formula syntax is not like Excel formula syntax. It looks similar enough to trick you, then it trips you on three things: how nulls behave, how text comparisons are case-sensitive by default, and how cross-object references work through lookup relationships. Those three things account for roughly half the support tickets Salesforce admins file with themselves at 2am.

    This tool is built specifically for Salesforce's formula engine. Not Excel syntax dressed up in a Salesforce sticker. Real Salesforce syntax that compiles.

    Use cases it covers

    Validation rules that actually block the save (including the “must be true to block” logic everyone gets backwards the first time). Formula fields returning text, number, date, datetime, boolean, or currency. Workflow rule criteria. Process Builder and Flow formula resources. Approval process entry criteria. Rollup summary filters. Assignment rule criteria.

    The null handling problem

    In Salesforce, NULL + 5 = NULL, not 5. If you write Amount + Discount and Discount is blank, you get NULL, not the original Amount. This breaks formulas in ways that aren't obvious until production. We wrap with BLANKVALUE or NULLVALUE automatically when the context calls for it, and we explain why we did it.

    Cross-object references

    Account.Owner.Manager.Emailonly works on master-detail or lookup relationships, with the right field-level security, and only up to five levels deep. The tool knows the rules. It'll tell you when you're asking for something Salesforce can't actually do, rather than giving you a formula that looks right and fails on save.

    Explain mode

    You can paste an existing formula and ask what it does. This shows up in two real-world scenarios constantly. One, you inherited an org and you're trying to figure out what some retired admin built in 2018. Two, you're doing a Salesforce audit and you need to document what your formula fields actually calculate.

    If you're doing the second thing, the full app also includes a Salesforce Org Audit tool that does this automatically across the whole org.
