Trigger to autofill a lookup field on account with Grouping ID
Hi,
I need to have a lookup field on Account to be filled with Grouping ID upon creating or converting a Account.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to do this with a workflow, so i guess, writing a Trigger oder Code would be the easiest way here, right?
There is another condition for a specific field, if this is filled with specific content.
So, formular, I would have written like:
If(And(isnew(),ispickval(country_responsible_for_account__c,"Germany")),a0fD00...,null)
Is there anyone out here, that can help me with that?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help
PS: is there anything, you can recommend to learn how to write trigger etc?

trigger SetCustomerGrouping on Account ( before insert) {
for (Account a: Trigger.new)
{
if(a.country_responsible_for_account__c == 'BCA Germany'&& a.Top100__C ==null){
a.Top100__c ='a0fD0000008iqQZ' ;
}}}
