help using contains or include in validation rule

Hi guys,

 

I had a validation rule which throughs error when the previous value in a field  is 2012 and the new value is 2013.

And Stage Name is withdrawn.it work fines with my validation rule. but i want to simplify it .

here is my validation rule:-

 

AND($Profile.Name = "Custom System Admin",
ISPICKVAL(StageName,"Prospecting"),
OR(AND(ISPICKVAL(PRIORVALUE(DeliveryInstallationStatus__c),"Jan 2012"), ISPICKVAL(DeliveryInstallationStatus__c,"Jan 2013")),
AND(ISPICKVAL(PRIORVALUE(DeliveryInstallationStatus__c),"Jan 2012"), ISPICKVAL(DeliveryInstallationStatus__c,"sep 2013")),
AND(ISPICKVAL(PRIORVALUE(DeliveryInstallationStatus__c),"sep 2012"), ISPICKVAL(DeliveryInstallationStatus__c,"Jan 2013")),
AND(ISPICKVAL(PRIORVALUE(DeliveryInstallationStatus__c),"Sep 2012"), ISPICKVAL(DeliveryInstallationStatus__c,"sep 2013"))))

 

What i need instead of using  (ISPICKVAL(PRIORVALUE(DeliveryInstallationStatus__c),"Jan 2012")

like this can i using like this (ISPICKVAL(Contains(PRIORVALUE(DeliveryInstallationStatus__c),"2012"), ISPICKVAL(DeliveryInstallationStatus__c,"2013")) .

 

The Above code has 4 conditions if i use include or contains then it can be of 2 condition.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

You can modify the formula as : 

AND($Profile.Name = "Custom System Admin",
ISPICKVAL(StageName,"Prospecting"),
Contains(TEXT(PRIORVALUE(DeliveryInstallationStatus__c )),"2012"), Contains(TEXT(DeliveryInstallationStatus__c),"2013")
)

 

Hope it will work for you.

 

Please mark it as solution if your problem is get solved by this so that others can also use this.
