Sometimes is useful to pull an excerpt from one of the custom fields using the plugin of Advanced Custom Field . This snippet helps you to get as an example the first 30 words as excerpt from the field 'your_field_name'

Also, for the snippet below, I get an error. Do I need to add to add another "{", or delete a "}"?
function advanced_custom_field_excerpt() {
global $post;
$text = get_field('your_field_name');
if ( '' != $text ) {
$text = strip_shortcodes( $text );
$text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
$text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
$excerpt_length =30; // 30 words
$excerpt_more = apply_filters('excerpt_more', ' ' . '[...]');
$text = wp_trim_words( $text, $excerpt_length, $excerpt_more );
}
return apply_filters('the_excerpt', $text);
