Which statement is a limitation of the Formula column?

• A. The Formula column can read data from other column cells, but not from the column summary or any other area of the board
• B. It can read from the column summary
• C. It can read from any area
• D. It can calculate vertically

Answer: (A)

Formulas are evaluated per item, using values from other columns in the same item. Because of this scope, a Formula can read data from other column cells on that row, allowing calculations like quantity times unit price. It cannot access the board-wide column summary or other areas of the board, and it doesn’t pull data across different items. So the stated limitation — reading from other column cells but not from the column summary or any other area of the board — is the correct description. The other options would imply access to the summary, to all board areas, or cross-item calculations, which isn’t how formulas work.
