Roger Redford My formula with CASE doesn't work, please help!!!
Hi everybody,
I am looking for a solution how to express a formula for an user-defined field with the following description:
the formula should show the corresponding letter salutation dependent on the picklist values in fields Salutation and tthe Contact Language, for example:
- if you choose in the picklist Salutation "Mr." and the Contact Language is "English", the user-defined field will show for example the expression "Dear Mr. John Benson" for John Benson, in the user-defined field
- if you choose in the picklist Salutation "Mrs." and the Contact Language is "English", the user-defined field will show for example the expression "Dear Mrs. Diana Fox" for Diana Fox
- if you choose in the picklist Salutation "Herr" and the Contact Language is "German", the user-defined field will show for example the expression "Sehr geehrter Herr X Y" for X Y
- if you choose in the picklist Salutation "Frau" and the Contact Language is "German", the user-defined field will show for example the expression "Sehr geehrte Frau A B" for A B
I wrote this formula, which unfortunately is not working right:
if((ISPICKVAL(Sprache__c ,"Deutsch") && (ISPICKVAL(Salutation ,"Herr"))),"Sehr geehrter Herr" & FirstName & LastName)
if((ISPICKVAL(Sprache__c ,"Deutsch") && (ISPICKVAL(Salutation ,"Frau"))),"Sehr geehrte Frau" & FirstName & LastName) OR
if((ISPICKVAL(Sprache__c ,"Englisch") && (ISPICKVAL(Salutation ,"Mr."))),"Dear Mr." & FirstName & LastName) OR
if((ISPICKVAL(Sprache__c ,"Englisch") && (ISPICKVAL(Salutation ,"Mrs."))),"Dear Mrs." & FirstName & LastName)
The syntax error says "extra if"
witth CASE:
CASE((ISPICKVAL(Sprache__c ,"Deutsch")) && (ISPICKVAL(Salutation ,"Herr")),"Sehr geehrter Herr" & FirstName & LastName,
((ISPICKVAL(Sprache__c ,"Deutsch")) && (ISPICKVAL(Salutation ,"Frau"))),"Sehr geehrte Frau" & FirstName & LastName,
((ISPICKVAL(Sprache__c ,"Englisch")) && (ISPICKVAL(Salutation ,"Herr"))),"Dear Mr." & FirstName & LastName,
((ISPICKVAL(Sprache__c ,"Englisch")) && (ISPICKVAL(Salutation ,"Frau"))),"Dear Mrs." & FirstName & LastName)
it says: "incorrect argument type for CASE"
Can anybody please help me? what am I doing wrong?
