Huey Kein Tan Error: Incorrect parameter for function 'VLOOKUP()'.
Hi,
I am trying to use Vlookup() but keep getting error - Error: Incorrect parameter for function 'VLOOKUP()'.
i am using validation rule:
Expense_Total__c > VLOOKUP($ObjectType.Expense_Limit__c.Fields.Monthly_Expense_Limit__c, $ObjectType.Expense_Limit__c.Fields.Name, Role__c)
Rule is that total Expense must be less than or equal to user role's monthly expense limit.
Expense_Total_c is custom field (from roll up summary SUM)
$ObjectType.Expense_Limit__c.Fields.Monthly_Expense_Limit__c is field under an object (currency)
$ObjectType.Expense_Limit__c.Fields.Name is name field of record name (text 80)
Role__c is custom field (text 80) for user to key in role (i use formula $UserRole.Name also gives error when validate the formula)
I can't figure out where is wrong...anyone can help?

"The field_to_return must be an auto number, roll-up summary, lookup relationship, master-detail relationship, checkbox, date, date/time, email, number, percent, phone, picklist, text, text area, or URL field type."
I doubt that is it, though, but you could try making the field a straight number type.
I'll try to recreate this tonight and see what I can come up with.
