Hi I have start_Date__c which specify project is started. I want formula field to check whether End_Date__c is passed or not. If it is passed then i want to uncheck the checkbox. For example if end date is 30/6/2017 it should be checked meaning project is going on and if date is 1/5/2017, it should get uncheck.

  • So, do you want to have a formula checkbox or just a checkbox?

  • Formula field should be Check box type and you can improve logic if( start_Date__c <= End_Date__c ,true,false)..true will make check box is checked and false will uncheck.

  • What is your ultimate goal? A formula will not cause a trigger to fire. If you just want it to evaluate when the record is being viewed then a formula will work. If you want to fire a process when the time period has passed then a formula field will not do what you want.

Create a formula field datatype as a checkbox.

  1. If you want to validate its endDate with current date then and place this formula in the editor IF(End_Date__c > TODAY() , true, false)
  2. If you want to validate its endDate with start date then and place this formula in the editor IF(End_Date__c > start_Date__c , true, false)
