    Hi Prachi,

    Yes. You can have a roll-up summary in case of a master-detail relationship. But not in case of a lookup relationship.

    A roll-up summary field is used to display a value in a master record based on the values of a set of fields in a detail record. The detail record must be related to the master through a master-detail relationship.

    There are 4 calculations that you can do using roll-up summary field. You can count the number of detail records related to a master record. Or, you can calculate the sum, minimum value, or maximum value of a field in the detail records.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    You have a roll up summary field only in case of Master-Detail relationship. Roll-up summary fields calculate values from a set of related records, such as those in a related list. You can create roll-up summary fields that automatically display a value on a master record based on the values of records in a detail record. These detail records must be directly related to the master through a master-detail relationship.

    The Roll up Summary field is basically of 4 types:

    Count
    Sum
    Min
    Max

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

    You can only have roll up summary field in case of master detail relationship and not in lookup case.

    Hope this helps.
