A placeholder column is used to hold the value of certain calculation or a variable that is being carried out in a formula column. A place holder can be defined as anumber character or date type depending upon the type of value which will be stored into it.

A format trigger is used when we want to display a particular field if certain conditions are met.

Placeholder column is a global variable for which we can set data type and data value.
