Data Integrity with Formulas and Validations
Salesforce offers several features to ensure data integrity. Two of the most common features are formulas and validation rules.

In this chapter, we will cover the following data integrity features in detail:
- Overview of formulas
- Creating a formula field

With the help of these topics, you will be able to understand and create formulas and validation rules.
