Conversion Error setting value 'x' for '#{y}'.
I am relatively new to APEX and Visualforce and I am developing a VF page so users can search for records of a custom object and modify records either individually or en masse. I have created the VF page and Controller Extension and everything is working correctly except one part; I am trying to allow users to select multiple values to search a single field but I am receiving an error;
Error:
Conversion Error setting value 'NSW VIC' for '#{RelationshipManagerState}'
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
The section of the Controller Extension dealing with the dynamic SOQL is below with the sections I believe are giving me trouble highlighted in red;

Thanks in advance for any help with this and please feel free to comment on how I have structured my code as I have seen the getters and setters strucutred very differently in some code examples I have seen :)
A few too many quotes in there - I was assuming state would be a variable rather than literals.
So you'd need something like:
AND Relationship_Manager_State__c IN (\'NSW\', \'QLD\', '\VIC\')';
my code was an attempt to create this string programatically from an array of strings. Hopefully you get the picture.All Answers
Thanks Bob the dynamic SOQL didn't like the binding I was using. I found another post with a similar problem and I corrected the binding (below);

</apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
and I no longer am receiving the error however I am now faced with another problem that the result is ignoring whatever is selected on the vf page and not passing the values into my SOQL query. I tried changingmy SOQL query to below;
String queryManagerStates = ManagerStates = '%';
to
String queryManagerStates = ManagerStates + '%';
but then the SOQL query returns no results.
The field type on the sObject is a cross object formula which is dragging the Account.Billing_State through onto the Panel_Relationships__c record - is this a problem ? Should I be querying the Account.Billing_State directly instead of the formula field directly ?
Thanks in advance for your reply - Jeremy.
Looking at the latest code, I can't see anything that ties the selected items to the ManagerStates variable.
Using the following:
String queryManagerStates = ManagerStates = '%';
assigns '%' to ManagerStates and queryManagerStates at the same time. However, this has nothing to do with your selected checkboxes, which are stored in a string array.
That said, I'm not sure what you are attempting will work anyway. If the user can select more than one checkbox, you will end up with a bound variable that is 'NSW VIC%' - which means the query will match on all records where the formula field starts with 'NSW VIC'. I'm guessing that you won't have any of these, and what you actually want to do is find all those records where the formula field contains 'NSW' or 'VIC'. Or have I misunderstood what you are trying to do.
Thanks for that and yes you have understood correctly what I am trying to do e.g. search for all records with Manager States = to VIC OR NSW(the value of Manager State would be one or the other - never both) - I have obviously misunderstood the SOQL syntax as I thought that the :like attribute meant "contains" not "starts with" and that my code would separate the individual values that someone selected so that the query read; Manager State contains NSW or VIC
You'll want to use the IN operator - this checks if the value from the record matches any one of a set. I think you'll have to build the clause manually rather than binding it though.
Something like:
String inPart=''; for (String state : states) { inPart+=', \'' + state + '\''; } Then, in the select statement, replace your existing equality operator and binding with: IN (' + inPart.substring(1) + ')';
where states is your array of selected strings.
Hi Bob - hope you've been keeping well. Have just got back from a well deserved break :)
I have tried what you suggested however I am getting an error "line breaks not allowed in strings", however I may have misinterpreted your reply. Thanks again for your assistance with this.
String inPart=''; { for (String state : states) { inPart+=', \'' + NSW + QLD + VIC + WA + SA + ACT + TAS + NT + '\''; } } and in my SELECT I am using; AND Relationship_Manager_State__c IN (' + inPart.substring(1) + ')';
A few too many quotes in there - I was assuming state would be a variable rather than literals.
So you'd need something like:
AND Relationship_Manager_State__c IN (\'NSW\', \'QLD\', '\VIC\')';
my code was an attempt to create this string programatically from an array of strings. Hopefully you get the picture.
