Validation rule to accept a 0.00 format

Hi team,

I'm working on a flow on a specific field that will only accept 0.00 format of number. Any number from 0-9 is fine as long as the format is a 3 numbers that has a decimal after first number followed by a 2 numbers format (0.00). 

I'm using the code below but it seems like it doesn't work the way I expected it to be:
REGEX(Text({!ACCEL_OPEN_ANGLE}),"\\b\\d{1}[.]\\d{2}$")

Any help is greatly appreciated.




Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you gave Decimal places in your Field .?

Check below screenshot of an example:

And Validation rule would be:

Hi,

Strange way for controlling a numeric value. You can just enclose your formula with NOT ( ) if you want absolutely a regex but that is not the better solution.

ACCEL_OPEN_ANGLE has just a numeric value between 0 and 10 (excluded) with Decimal Places = 2

These formulas are better:

ACCEL_OPEN_ANGLE <= 0 || ACCEL_OPEN_ANGLE>= 10

or

NOT ( ACCEL_OPEN_ANGLE > 0 && ACCEL_OPEN_ANGLE < 10 )

Text(ACCEL_OPEN_ANGLE) of the numeric value 1.00 is equals to "1" thus the regex will never work.

Regards,

Alain

Hi Russel,

Please try below formua for the format 0.00:
NOT( REGEX( TEXT(ACCEL_OPEN_ANGLE), "[0-9]{1}+(\\.[0-9]{2}?)?$"))


Let us know if that helps you.

Hi BALAJICH,

I tried to use the formula you suggested but it seems like it's accepting every numberical value I put in. Like if I put in 5 numerical number it will accept it. I only need the ACCEL_OPEN_ANGLE to accept any number as long as it remains in the format 0.00. Any format aside from that should be invalid. Thanks for the reply.
