Hi All,
I just want to confirm that I have made one fast Formula where i calculate approximately 20 Elements. I have run payroll for 4000 employees without any error and values were accurate. Please advise me that if there is any bad impact of it or not.

Formula design follows the same premise as programming encapsulation in general.

If all your elements share a significant portion of the code, then this a great idea.

If you are processing a bigger formula when each element only uses a small portion of the code, then it is a waste of resources.

Make sense?

Nice thing about your approach is that in the end, a formula ends up as PL/SQL so you may be gaining some benefits from the database caching your code as it is re-executed many times.

Best regards,
David.
