Formula writing is a key admin skillset used in various ways to customize Salesforce, but it’s common for admins of all skillsets to struggle to turn business requirements into formulas.

While a lot of sample formulas exist, what is lacking is a breakdown of the concepts and best practices into terms admins can understand and apply. In other words, there is a lack of resources on this topic that empower admins to build formulas from scratch and troubleshoot existing formulas.
