Hi - I need help pushing a field.

I'm trying to push the discount field from my Opportunity Product into a Quote and the Quote line item. I have tried using workflow rules with field updates and it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas how I can accomplish this?

Thanks!!!

I am trying to set up an email alert to be sent 30 days after the date in a date field. I set up a time dependent workflow rule, but it is sending the alert 30 days after the field is populated. I need it to be based on the actual date in the field. Customer service said I needed to set up a formula and I had to come here to get help with it. Can anyone help me with this? I have never used formulas in Salesforce before. Thanks for your help.

I am trying to figure out a way to embed a button/link on a campaign that allows me to see the status of the HTML email that I send to leads and prospects.

I currently have this custom button:

/camp/rptcmpgncalldown.jsp?scope=1&scopeid={!Campaign.Name}

 

The problem is that it takes me to the campaign report rather than the HTML email report where I can see who clicked open, last open, how many times open, opted out, etc.

 

How do I create a quick link on a campaign that associates the members who have received an HTML email so that I can see status?

Looking to find a formula that will combine 2 Date/Time fields and calulate time. Like for example:

 

Start Time: 2/5/13 10:00am

Stop Time: 2/5/13 11:30am 

 

Total: 1.50 or 1hr 30 mins

 

Can some please help?

 

Thanks,

Hello,

 

I am trying to come up with a validation rule that the Quote Name Field will only be able to include the names Original, Rebid 1, Rebid 2, etc.  I am not sure what kind of value to use.  Please suggest something.

 

Thanks!

Hello, I created this Validation Rule, however, it does not execute properly when I save a record.

 

The idea is when "In Negotiations" is "No" and the field "Description of Negotiation" is left blank and user tries to save the record, the user should be prompted to fill in the "Description of Negotiation" field, however, this is not executing correctly.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

 

 

AND(
ISPICKVAL(In_Negotiations__c, "No"),
ISNULL(Description_of_Negotiation__c))

 

Hi 

I need help with formula field. Right now i have a fields called "Mailing Name" and i have to bring a part of text from that field into a formula field.

 

Ex:

Mailing Name : India CO (243)

 

I just want the number in the brackets in the formula field. I tried to create one like the below

MID(Mailing_Name__c, FIND("(", Mailing_Name__c), FIND(")", Mailing_Name__c)) but the output for the formula field ia (243) and i just want the number not the brackets.

 

Is there any other way of creating this formula field where i can just pull the number in the brackets of the Mailing Name field.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I have a simple formual that calculates sales growth percent.

 

Current YTD Sales Annualized / Current Year Goal  or

 

Current_TYD_Sales_Annualized__c / Current_Year_Goal__c

 

how can I have it return a result of 0 instead of an #Error! if either of those to fields contain a zero or null value?

 

Thanks

I have the formula in Excel, I just don't know how to convert it so Salesforce recognizes it.

 

The Excel formula is

 

((YTD Sales / (365- (DATE (2013,12,31) - TODAY ()))*365))

 

Thanks :-)

I am trying to add a date value to a hyperlink to pass to a task I have tried tsk4=TODAY() and and '&tsk4=TODAY()&' with no luck.  I do understand that the hyperlink function is all text based, but I really need to pass the Due Date from the Hyperlink to the task.

 

Thanks.

I have 2 record types on the task record. One called "Custom" and another called "Standard".  The default record type for all users is Standard. I created 2 formula fields (Custom and Standard)  that are images in the documents folder. Depending which is clicked, it should auto land on that page layout. It works for the standard but how can i make it for the custom?

 

How can I make this work?

 

Stanard(this works)

HYPERLINK('/00T/e?who_id='& Id & '&retURL=' & Id, IMAGE('/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=01540000000xKUQ', 'Standard)) 
& ' ' &

 

Custom(fails and says missing ')'

HYPERLINK('/00T/e?who_id='& Id & '&retURL=' & Id&RecordType=01240000000UWKG, IMAGE('/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=01540000000xKUB', 'Custom'))
& ' ' &

Here is my current formula ISPICKVAL(Record_Type_Toggle__c, 'Contract') and what I am trying to do is make an email alert send if the Record Type Toggle is "Contract".  The picklist consist of Contract and Change Order and I do not want an email to go out if it is a Change Order. Please let me know of other formulas I could try.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

I am dealing with dynamic dashboards and i have to setup filters for date values. I am trying with TODAY, THIS WEEK etc.,. just like how we choose the range with reports. Can anyone please tell me what are the list of text values that i can use in the date fields. (eg, today, this week, this month, last week, last month, etc,.,)

 

I would really appreciate your help. I just couldnt figure out the right dcoument if there is one for the same. 

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

I have a question about the filter for dynamic dashboards. Does typing in TODAY/ THIS WEEK / THIS MONTH work for a created date field in filter criteria for the dashboard itself (not the report filter). I do not want to choose the date from the calendar view and i dont see anything for today or this week kind of stuff like how reports have it. Can anyone please let me know. 

 

Thanks.

Can anyone please help with creating a validation rule that prevents a certain Profile Name from being able to change the "Assigned To' field.  All other profile names should be able to change the 'Assigned To' unless Profile = 'C User'

I have a picklist field called Primary_Complaint_Code__c which includes about 200 values. If there is any value in this field, I would like to transfer that value to a new text field called All_Complaint_Codes__c. I'm hoping there is a way to specify all value rather than adding a line for each of the 200 values. I also have 2 other fields Secondary_Complaint_Code__c and Third_Complaint_Code__c with the same values and I need a field that holds all values for all Codes for reporting purposes. 

 

IF(ISPICKVAL( Primary_Complaint_Code__c ,"Smart Meters"),"Smart Meters;", null)

 

My report would be:

All_Complaint_Codes__c contain "Smart Meters" rather than having Primary_Complaint_Code = Smart Meters  or Secondary_Complaint_Code__c = Smart Meters or Third_Complaint_Code__c = Smart Meters.

 

 

We have a client with a customer community that consists of a series of Visualforce pages. Part of the user experience involves accessing some public VF pages as well, and have had a seamless user experience until the Winter 16 update. Now users are routed to the login screen when they attempt to access the public pages.

Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution for it? Thanks All!

The end goal is to fire a validation rule without a user having to click Edit and then Save. The action is to "validate" that the record is ready to be submitted for approval. Since I cannot invoke a validation rule through the Submit for Approval button being pressed, I would like for the end users to be able to click a "Validate" button that will edit and save a record in order to check validation. If they invoke the rule, they know they are not ready to submit it and they receive the error message informing them of the fields they are missing. If they dont receive the message, they know they are ready to submit it for approval.

Thanks in Advance.

trigger ContactRollUpCampaigns on Campaign (after delete, after insert, after update) {
 
  //Limit the size of list by using Sets which do not contain duplicate elements
  set ContactIds = new set();
 
  //When adding new Campaigns or updating existing Campaigns
  if(trigger.isInsert || trigger.isUpdate){
    for(Campaign p : trigger.new){
      ContactIds.add(p.Contact__c);
    }
  }

    Double Campaignsum = ContactMap.get(c.Id);
    c.Total_Campaigns__c = Campaignsum;
    ContactsToUpdate.add(c);
  }
 
  update ContactsToUpdate;
}

This is actually code from http://www.anthonyvictorio.com/salesforce/roll-up-summary-trigger/ that I have manipulated to try and create a RUS function on the Contact object to count the Campaigns they are added to. Clearly I am not a developer or I would understand why the error is throwing for me.

I need assistance creating a trigger/class combo that would allow me to send time-dependent email alerts to the Account Owner based on the date value in a Formula (Date) field. Basically, I need the email alert to be sent 14, 7, 3, 1, 0 days before the date value in the formula field only if a picklist field contains a specific value. I realize a workflow rule will not work because there is no update on the record due to the date being a formula field. This formula field date value will change once a month, so the cycle of email alerts will restart each month.

 

Do I need a single class that runs daily and fires the trigger's email alert when TODAY() is 14 days before, then again when TODAY() is 7 days before, etc.

 

Or do I need individual classes, one for each planned email alert?

 

I also need the emails to stop when the action is completed by the Account Owner. But then to start back up when the formula field's date changes.

Scenario: Sales rep must acquire a collection of data from each customer on a monthly basis. Most customers are setup for automatic collection but a subset (defined by a value in a picklist field on the Account record) require a manual extraction. The extraction schedule is a static schedule that all manually extracted customers follow (it changes once per year depending on financial calendar). No matter when an Account becomes a customer, their first manual extraction is due by the next due date on the schedule. So, if an Account becomes a customer on 4/13/2013 and the due dates for extraction are 1/21/13, 2/20/13, 3/22/13, 4/21/13, 5/21/13.... then new extraction records would be created and due on 4/21/13, 5/21/13, etc. through the end of the year.

Basically, if an Account is setup for manual extraction, I need to assess when an extraction is due based on this static schedule. Each extraction requires a set of fields to be completed, so I have extractions setup as a custom object.

 

How can I:

 

1.Dynamically create individual Extraction records related to the Account based on the remaining extractions on the current year's schedule.

 

2. Alert the rep that they need to complete a manual extraction based on the static schedule and thus create an extraction record in Salesforce?

I need to send a weekly email to every Contact Role related to an Account that has a specific Role value, Budget Owner.

 

I am not sure which is easier to accomplish for this.

 

1. Write a trigger that fires an email to any Contact Role with the Role = Budget Owner, when a checkbox on the Account is checked.

 

2. Write a trigger that populates the Contact ID of a Contact Role that has the Role = Budget Owner into a custom lookup field on the Acount and use the lookup field as the recipient for the email.

 

I am not a developer so please tell me which you think makes more sense from a code/management side, and if anyone has any code similar to what I am asking that I can tweak to make work, I appreciate it.

I currently have a Text field that accepts a tracking number for a shipment. My thought was that I could create a formula field that would look at the format of the tracking number and display the carrier's name. I am stuck in that I cannot use REGEX() for a formula field and I am not sure how to compare the format of the value in the text field to get the Carrier.

Has anyone found this solved elsewhere? I have not yet considered a workflow rule as I wanted to post this first.

Hello All,

 

Does anyone have any experience implementing delegated authentication SSO where the user logs into their company Intranet, which authenticates them to access their Salesforce.com org without any further login? Is this possible?

For those who have experience with implementing SSO between Salesforce and LDAP, on a scale of 1-10, what would you rate the following:

 

Level of complexity

 

Level of technical knowledge required (beyond point-click Admin experience)

 

 

And how long do you estimate it takes to complete?

 

Thank you,

I just need this to populate the Opportunity_Stage__c field only when the Status is Completed. Thanks.

I know for Apex code, this is a pretty straight forward trigger, but not having any dev experience, I am not clear on how to achieve this.

 

I have a custom text field on activities called Opportunity Stage (Opportunity_Stage__c). I want this field populated with the current Stage (after insert) of the Opportunity that the task is associated with.

Any help is appreciated!

The following formula works to convert an integer (First_Order_Fcst_Period__c) to a date.  Since we are dealing with fiscal years, with October being the first month of the fiscal year, you will see the calcuation below. 
DATE( 
(If( First_Order_Fcst_Period__c > 9, 
Fiscal_Year_As_Integer__c -1, 
Fiscal_Year_As_Integer__c )) , 
First_Order_Fcst_Period__c ,15)

However, if However, if First_Order_Fcst_Period__c is blank, I am getting is blank, I am getting an error.  I changed my formula to be 
IF(ISBLANK(First_Order_Fcst_Period__c),NULL,

(If( First_Order_Fcst_Period__c > 9, 
Fiscal_Year_As_Integer__c -1, 
Fiscal_Year_As_Integer__c )) , 
First_Order_Fcst_Period__c ,15))

and now I get a compile error.  I suspect it's because First_Order_Fcst_Period__c is rather large

IF(October_Order_Fcst__c > 0 || October_Order_Fcst__c <0,10,

PROBLEM STATEMENT : When I Clone a ticket and save it, the status of the ticket stays the same. For ex, if i clone a ticket that has the status CLOSED, the new ticket also has the status closed. Now, the person cloning the ticket can change the status manually, but this still leaves a chance for Human errors.

I want a validation rule that should check if the status of the ticket is opened while creating a record.

I tried
IF( AND((BMCServiceDesk__FKStatus__c) != "OPENED",ISBLANK(PRIORVALUE((BMCServiceDesk__FKStatus__c)))), TRUE, FALSE)

I also tried
IF( AND((BMCServiceDesk__FKStatus__c) != "OPENED",ISNULL(PRIORVALUE((BMCServiceDesk__FKStatus__c)))), TRUE, FALSE)

But none of it works. Please help!

Hello everyone,

I have cases being created from different channels: email to case, web to lead, etc.
These cases are created with a New status, and I would like the case status to change to Opened automatically, when the case is opened for the first time.

Thank you.

I have a rule to compare the number of hours being used in a custom object against the number of hours available on another custom object. The number of hours available on the other object is a roll up summary field. If the number of hours being used are less than available, everything works. If the number of hours being used are greater that hours available, the rule works and fires an error. But if the hours being used are exactly = to hours available, the rule is firing a validation error when it shouldn't. See debug code below:
