SOQL does not contain statement

Hello,

 

How can I write a SOQL statement with a clause "does not contain" ? I've tried this Carrier_ID__c not like '%TEST%' but it does not work. I want to use this SOQL for the dataloader to export the data. Please advise.

 

Thanks

Paul

I created one formula field salesforceID__c  in account object and added the below code

 

CASESAFEID(Id)

 

in formula and when ever u create a account record this filed salesforceID store 18 digits salesforce record id.By this u can retrieve 18 digits ID in reports.

The correct syntax is

 

NOT (Carrier_ID__c  like '%TEST%' )

I just tried NOT (Carrier_ID__c  like '%TEST%' ) and it's still not working. I still got the error.

 

Please help.

 

thanks

I just tried 

 

List<Account> acc = [SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE not (Name like '%test')];

 And it worked as expected

I've tried it again and it does not work for me. I think it works a little different for dataloader tool. This sql is for dataloader tool to export data. Any idea will make it work?

 

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,

 

As above mentioned is correct, but u still u not getting means then try to generate report and in this we have "does not contains" filter and retrieve the required result.

The report generates only 15 digit ID and that's the reason why I use the dataloader to generate the report as it will give me the 18 digit ID.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Create one custom formula for object which u want 18 digits in report and paste the below code in it and save.

 

CASESAFEID(Id) It will  store the 18 digits value and that value can retrieve in reports.

Can you show me an example of how you do it? let's use Account object for the report that I want for 18 digit ID.

 

Thanks

Thanks. An 18 digit account ID is what I need for the report.

In report u can use that custom field SalesforceID which we will retrive 18 digits of ur record Id.

Please try once again.

Thanks Rajesh. It works for me now. That's what I meant in my previous message.

Hello pla, I think you'll just need to enclose this part inside brackets so that it works... I tried it now and these brackets made it work!

The operator NOT has to be inside the parenthesis (NOT Carrier_ID__c  like '%TEST%' ). Just tried this syntax and it works.

"NOT (Carrier_ID__c  like '%TEST%' )" does not work.

If you're including the clause with other clauses it may need an additional set of parenthesis around the outside of the NOT() statement.
eg
WHERE 
Some_Field__c !=''
AND (NOT(Account.Name LIKE '%Test%'))
