Hi There,
I have a calculated field which is a whole no created in the child records and a rollup field again a whole no in the parent record. I wish the rollup field at the parent level to sum all the child records by taking the calculated field into consideration. However at the parent level when I try to edit the rollup field, to bring the calculated field from the child records to create a "sum" under aggregation, it is not showing up in the drop down?
What am I missing here? I'm sure this is not a product limitation because someone has already pulled this through earlier.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Appreciate the responses but what would you say for the solution mentioned in this blog.
Despite the fact I'm wondering how the rollup is referenced to a calculated field in the blog or is it that I'm missing something here.
Cheers
Sunny
Hi Sunny,
No you cant have nested calculated or rollup field.
This is the limitation.
"A rollup can't reference a calculated field that uses another calculated field, even if all the fields of the other calculated field are on the current entity."

Hello Sunny,

You can access parental fields via the Lookup field to the parent entity, such as <LookupFieldName>.<FieldName>. This is not possible with multi-entity Lookup fields like Customer which can be Account or Contact. However, some entities have individual Lookup fields for a specific entity, such as ParentAccountid.<FieldName> or ParentContactid.<FieldName>
