In this post we will discuss on creating Progress bar field without any coding, just by using formula field. Initially it seems like we can’t create dynamic progress bar field by using only formula in Salesforce. There are some approach, where developers stores 4 images with interval of 25% or 10 images with 10% interval and displaying image with help of Case or IF statement.
We will create Progress bar field, which will reflect every percentage.
To create perfect Progress bar field, we will need to take help of two images.
Upload above two images in Static resource. Once it is uploaded create a formula field.
In Formula field we will be appending both images and repeating “Filled Image” as per percentage field. Logic can be seen in below image.
Formula for Progress Bar Image
IMAGE('/resource/1398170360000/BlueProgressBar', 'Test', 10, ( percField__c * 100 )) &
IMAGE('/resource/1398170333000/ProgressBorder', 'Test', 10, (100 - percField__c * 100 )) &
' ' &
TEXT (percField__c * 100) &
'%'
In above code “1398170360000” is ID of static resource displayed in URL.
Hello,
How can this formula be used if i am using a visualforce page and the progress bar depends on a value from custom controller
Hi simran, in vf page you cannot use this. May ne ui can uae some library like jquery UI.
Hi Jitendra
Great post but I have an issue in that my bar will not expand width ways
My formula is like this
IMAGE(‘/resource/1490866928000/Opportunity_Progress_Bar’, TEXT(StageName),15,( percField__c * 100 )) &
IMAGE(‘/resource/1490866874000/Opportunity_Progress_Border’, TEXT(StageName), 15, (100 – percField__c * 100 )) &
” &
TEXT (percField__c * 100) &
‘%’
But Cannot see all of the text
Thanks
Sonya

Seems you are using 2 images as “1490866928000” & “1490866874000” , URL of border image is not correct
Hi Jitendra
Thanks for getting back to me.
I created 2 static resources for each image upload and the progress border url is correct. How would I get both images into the same static resource? So they have the same url?
Thanks
Sonya
Hi Jitendra
I re uploaded the image and all ok now.
Thanks for you help
Sonya
This is awesome Jitendra, but my image isn’t displaying correctly in Salesforce. I made sure that the filler image is publicly available and in a shared document folder, but no luck. Any suggestions?
Hey brent, Thanks for feedback. It should be uploaded in Static resource and number is ID of static resource. I have updated this post.
I actually got this to work. The issue was the URL I used for the image. Got this to work with ‘/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=01515000004mXEM’ as the URL where the ID provided is the Salesforce ID for the image. Thanks for this awesome information!
Awesome, you got it other way đ
Hey Brent. Here is my code. What am I missing? My progress bar is showing up with the words test in it versus a shaded color. Thought? Thanks!
IMAGE(‘/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=01536000001IOcr’, ‘Test’, 10, ( Reported_Committed__c * 100 )) &
IMAGE(‘/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=01536000001IOcm’, ‘Test’, 10, (100 – Reported_Committed__c * 100 )) &
‘ ‘ &
TEXT (Reported_Committed__c * 100) &
‘%’
These progress bars look awful in Lightning Experience – any way to optimize for LEX?
