BR() use case in formula #inSalesforce

In Salesforce formulas, the BR() function is used to insert line breaks (or newlines) within text or formula fields. It's particularly useful when you want to format text for display, making it easier to read. Here's how to use the BR() function:

Syntax:

BR()

Usage:

You can use BR() in any formula field that supports text, such as formula fields, formula text fields, or formula-rich text fields.

Place BR() wherever you want to insert a line break.

Example:

Let's say you have two fields, Account.Name and Account.Description, and you want to create a formula field that combines them with a line break in between:

Account.Name & BR() & Account.Description

In this example, the BR() function is used to insert a line break between the account name and description. The resulting text will display on two lines, with the name on the first line and the description on the second line.

Here's what the output might look like:

Acme Corporation

A leading provider of innovative products and services.

This is just one simple use case for the BR() function. You can use it wherever you need to format text with line breaks in Salesforce formulas to improve the readability and presentation of your data.
