Scenic Sunrise Need help - Admin Profile ignored for Data Validation Requirement - how do I do this?
I've set up a number of data validation rules. I'd like to add some code that would make each of these validation rules apply to the other profiles, but not be required by the System Administrator profile.
Can someone explain what I need to do?
Thanks!
That's a pretty easy one, fortunately. Just add an And( at the beginning of your validation, a comma at the end, and then the following:
$Profile.Name <> "System Administrator")
For example, if the rule was
CloseDate < DATE( YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1)
Then you'd change it to
And(
CloseDate < DATE( YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1),
$Profile.Name <> "System Administrator")
Hope that helps!

Can you help me modify this validation rule? I tried the AND statement at the beginning of the rule, but then it told me I had an extra OR, and when I took that out it said I had an exra LEN...so I must be doing something wrong..thanks for any help you can offer:
OR(
LEN(BillingCountry) = 1,
NOT(
CONTAINS(
"AF:AX:AL:DZ:AS:AD:AO:AI:AQ:AG:AR:AM:" &
"AW:AU:AZ:BS:BH:BD:BB:BY:BE:BZ:BJ:BM:BT:BO:" &
"BA:BW:BV:BR:IO:BN:BG:BF:BI:KH:CM:CA:CV:KY:" &

BillingCountry )))
Good luck!
Here you go:
AND ( NOT( $Profile.Name = "System Administrator"), BillingCountry = "CA", OR( LEN(BillingState) <> 2, NOT( CONTAINS("AB:BC:MB:NB:NL:NS:NT:NU:ON:PE:QC:SK:YT", BillingState) )))AND ( NOT( $Profile.Name = "System Administrator"), BillingCountry = "US", OR( LEN(BillingState) <> 2, NOT( CONTAINS("AL:AK:AZ:AR:CA:CO:CT:DE:DC:FL:GA:HI:ID:" & "IL:IN:IA:KS:KY:LA:ME:MD:MA:MI:MN:MS:MO:MT:NE:NV:NH:" & "NJ:NM:NY:NC:ND:OH:OK:OR:PA:RI:SC:SD:TN:TX:UT:VT:VA:" & "WA:WV:WI:WY:PR", BillingState) )))
