Validate the Account Number is numeric if not blank?

 i want this validation code
Naveen DhanarajNaveen Dhanaraj
Try This, 
AND(
    NOT(ISNUMBER(AccountNumber)),
    ISBLANK( AccountNumber )
)

 
sra gowthamsra gowtham
plzz give me explanation naveen
Naveen DhanarajNaveen Dhanaraj
NOT(ISNUMBER(AccountNumber)) - Which means only Numeric can be entered because datatype of AccountNumber is Text.
ISBLANK( AccountNumber )---If the Account number field is blank

This will throw error or trigger validation rule when AccountNumber is Text and If the Account number field is blank .

Sra,

No, It's not possible, if you want to display more than one errors then you can use more than one validation rules.
The problem will be solved.

can we slove it by using triggers 
Ajay K DubediAjay K Dubedi
Hi Sra,

Your problem has solved through trigger.
1-If your Account number is empty then account created.
2-If you enter Account Number is string then Account not create and through error.
3-If you update Account Number and try to insert string then through error.

trigger AccountNumberMustIntegerType on Account (before insert,before update) {
    for(Account ac:Trigger.New){
        if(ac.AccountNumber!=Null){
            if(ac.AccountNumber.isNumeric()){
                ac.AccountNumber=ac.AccountNumber;
            }
            else{
                ac.AccountNumber.addError('Field must be integer type');
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi Sra,

Yes, we can please try the below code:
  
//Helper Class
public class AccountNotEmpty {
    public static void isAccount(List<Account> accList){
        for(Account ac: accList){
            if(ac.AccountNumber == Null){
                ac.AccountNumber.addError('Field is not be Empty');
            }
            else if(ac.AccountNumber.isNumeric()){
                ac.AccountNumber=ac.AccountNumber;
            }
            else{
                ac.AccountNumber.addError('Field must be integer type');
            }
        }
    }
}

//Tregger Class
trigger AccountNumberNotEmpty on Account (before insert,before update) {
    if(trigger.isBefore){
        AccountNotEmpty.isAccount(trigger.new);
    }

}

Thanks
Akshay

OR(
ISBLANK( account_number__c ),
NOT( ISNUMBER( account_number__c))
)
    


IT SHOULD NOT BE NUMERTIC AND IT SHOULD NOT BE IT WORKS TRY THIS

Try with OR instead of AND , this will ensure that both conditions are checked. I tried for SSN field, it works.
OR(
ISBLANK( SSN__c ),
NOT(ISNUMBER( SSN__c ))
)
SophiaSophia
OR will ensure that the Error message is thrown even if one of the condition fails. AND will work only if both the conditions satisfy.
