RaoS Formula to return number of days an opportunity is in a specific stage
Hi,
I need to calculate number of days an opportunity is in a particular stage. Once the stage is changed this field should reset to zero.
I have created a custom number field and the following trigger to do the same.
trigger updateNoofDaysInOppStage on Opportunity (before insert) {
integer i=0; integer j;
for(Opportunity p : Trigger.new)
{
if(Trigger.old[i].StageName != Trigger.new[i].StageName){
Trigger.new[i].No_of_Days_in_this_Stage__c = 0;
}
else
{
j=Integer.ValueOf(Trigger.old[i].No_of_Days_in_this_Stage__c);
j++;
Trigger.old[i].No_of_Days_in_this_Stage__c = j;
}
i=i+1;
}
}
I am getting an error "Illegal assignment from Decimal to Integer" at the line which is in bold.
Instead I tried to do
Trigger.old[i].No_of_Days_in_this_Stage__c = Trigger.old[i].No_of_Days_in_this_Stage__c + 1;
Then it is throwing error saying "Expression cannot be assigned".
Let me know where I am going wrong.
Thanks
