A. B. C. D.A.
Formula fields are calculated fields that derive their values by performing calculations or concatenating text values from other fields. The value of a formula field is calculated dynamically based on the values of other fields in the same record.
In Salesforce, formula fields are recalculated automatically whenever a record is edited and saved, regardless of whether the formula field itself was directly edited or not. This means that any changes made to the record, including changes to fields that the formula field references, will trigger the formula field to recalculate and update its value.
There is no fixed interval for formula fields to be recalculated in Salesforce. Formula fields are calculated on an as-needed basis, which means that the value of a formula field is updated whenever the record is viewed or accessed in any way. This ensures that the formula field always displays the most up-to-date and accurate value based on the current values of the fields it references.
In summary, formula fields in Salesforce are recalculated automatically and on an as-needed basis whenever a record is edited and saved, ensuring that the formula field always displays the most accurate and up-to-date value based on the current values of the fields it references.
