    Hi Laveena,

    Here are examples of common non-deterministic formulas. Force.com cannot index fields that:

    • Reference other entities (i.e., fields accessible through lookup fields)
    • Include other formula fields that span over other entities
    • Use dynamic date and time functions (e.g., TODAY, NOW)

    A formula is also considered non-deterministic when it includes:

    • Owner, autonumber, divisions, or audit fields (except for CreatedDate and CreatedByID fields)
    • References to fields that Force.com cannot index
      • Multi-select picklists
      • Currency fields in a multicurrency organization
      • Long text area fields
      • Binary fields (blob, file, or encrypted text)
    • Standard fields with special functionalities
      • Opportunity: Amount, TotalOpportunityQuantity, ExpectedRevenue, IsClosed, IsWon
      • Case: ClosedDate, IsClosed
      • Product: Product Family, IsActive, IsArchived
      • Solution: Status
      • Lead: Status
      • Activity: Subject, TaskStatus, TaskPriority
