            CASESAFEID

            Converts a 15-character ID to a case-insensitive 18-character ID. In Salesforce Classic, the function converts only valid Salesforce 15-character IDs. If you pass in an invalid ID, the function returns the ID passed in. In Lightning Experience, the function converts any 15-character ID.

            Use

            CASESAFEID(id) and replace id with the object’s ID.

            Tips

            • Convert to 18-character IDs for better compatibility with Excel.
            • The CASESAFEID function is available everywhere that you can define a formula except reports and s-controls.
            • If you’re using Lightning Experience, and you want the function to convert only valid 15-character IDs, contact Salesforce Customer Support to enable this functionality.

            CASESAFEID (Id)

            This formula replaces the 15-character ID with the 18-character, case-insensitive ID.

            • CASESAFEID('A01xx000003DHur') returns A01xx000003DHur. The ID isn’t valid because it begins with a capital letter.
            • CASESAFEID('001xx000003DHur') returns something like 001xx000003DHurAAG because the ID passed in is valid.
