# Formula checker

Use the formula checker to review the result and runtime of each expression in a formula.

## To use the formula checker

1. From the field properties of a formula field, select **Check my formula**. ![The Check my formula button in formula field properties](https://cdn.document360.io/dd260e4e-10bb-4b66-8fb3-5504c272b904/Images/Documentation/37027164020756.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-28T00%3A32%3A31Z&se=2026-10-28T01%3A32%3A31Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vCOO7gaP%2B9tbI%2FBOCdD8W7JSUS%2F4BgSpesaMlocOv5s%3D)
2. The field ID auto-populates with the current field ID. Enter a record ID, and then run the checker. The checker displays each expression, the result of the formula on that specific record, and the runtime of that expression.
