I have a Roll Up Summary field on the Account which very simply rolls up the MAX CloseDate of the child Opportunities. This field is named Most_Recent_Opportunity_Date__c

 

Error: Field may not be used in this type of formula

 

I would like to create a new field at the Account level which shows "Days Since Last Opportunity". I have created a number field using the following formula:

 

TODAY()- DATEVALUE(Most_Recent_Opportunity_Date__c)

 

...but am getting the error: Error: Field Most_Recent_Opportunity_Date__c may not be used in this type of formula

What am I doing wrong and how can I solve this?

 

My next step after I've solved this is to create a dynamic field at the Account Level which displays the following Text based on the "Days Since Last Opportunity"

 

0-90 = "A"

 

90-120 = "B"

 

120-180 = "C"

 

180-365 = "D"

 

365+ = "E"

 

Would be greatly appreciative for some help with this follow up formula too if possible!

 

Thanks!

    You can't set a default value like this on a field.

     

    Instead you need to create a Formula Type field(return-TEXT)

    on Account like this:

    IF(TODAY()-Most_Recent_Opportunity_Date__c <= 90, "A",

    IF(TODAY()-Most_Recent_Opportunity_Date__c <= 120, "B",

    IF(TODAY()-Most_Recent_Opportunity_Date__c <= 180, "C",

    IF(TODAY()-Most_Recent_Opportunity_Date__c <= 365, "D", "E"))))
