Is there a limit how many calculations a single calculated field can make?

Hi All,

Just a quick question. I've created 18 whole number fields on a custom entity and created a calculated field which adds all 18 field numbers together. I've found that in dev, it's working fine but I'm getting an error when trying to bulk edit a form that has all those fields on or when trying to update a update step in a workflow that references that entity. The error is as per below:

An error has occurred.

Try this action again. If the problem continues, check the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Community for solutions or contact your organization's Microsoft Dynamics 365 Administrator. Finally, you can contact Microsoft Support.

My theory is that there could potentially be a limit to how many records it can perform the calculation at any time. Dev doesn't have many records in that custom entity whilst prod has about 300-400 records all having the calculated field summing up all the other 18 whole numbers. I also noted a delay when importing updates to those records via the import function. 

Is there a limit to how many calculations the field can do at any one time?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Mike,

    As per msdn here is the limitation-

    -Saved queries, charts, and visualizations can have a maximum of 10 unique calculated field

    -A maximum number of chained calculated fields is 5.

    Fore more details please refer calculated fields considerations part-
