I have marked orderid as unique and tried but still showing the same error message "This formula is incompatible...."

Will your Order ID always be unique? If so, mark that field unique as well and then try marking the formula unique as well.

It looks to me form your screen shot that one of your fields is a lookup fields, and you are trying to use that in a formula field being marked as Unique. A lookup field may not be used that way, because if the value on the lookup field changed at its source, then there would be no way for QuickBase to enforce Uniqueness.
you would be able to use the field [Related Item] though in a formula to be Unique.
