The '# of Volunteers Still Needed' field on the 'Volunteer Shift' record is not working as expected .. How to resolve???

Hi All, I am having problem in resolving an error in the 'Customization Specialist superbadge' . The error message is 'The '# of Volunteers Still Needed' field on the 'Volunteer Shift' record is not working as expected'. I have tried all the options
i.e. IF( Desired_of_Volunteers__c - Shifts_Taken__c > 0, Desired_of_Volunteers__c - Shifts_Taken__c , 0) 

and Max(Desired_of_Volunteers__c - Shifts_Taken__c,0) also.
But no luck .So it's now no more fun!!  Kindly help me in solving this soon ...

Hello everone,

Yes I have tried using the above in my formula 
i.e. IF((Desired_of_Volunteers__c - Shifts_Taken__c) > 0, Desired_of_Volunteers__c - Shifts_Taken__c, 0)

But still the error persists. Is there anything that I am missing here apart from the formula field to be created.. Kindly guide me.

Thanks,
Rakesh

Hello,

This formula worked for me
Max((Desired_of_Volunteers__c - Shifts_Taken__c), 0)

I was able to solve that issue by enabling the field level security permission on Shift End Date field on  Volunteer Shift Object.

This worked for me.

Please mark this answer as best if it helps so that others facing the same issue
will find it useful.

The '# of Volunteers Still Needed' field on the 'Volunteer Shift' record is not working as expected

This is The true Formula:

IF((Desired_of_Volunteers__c - Shifts_Taken__c) > 0, Desired_of_Volunteers__c - Shifts_Taken__c, 0)

Check the dependent fields bottom.

I know this is odd folks, but I was in the position of many not being able to figure out my issue. I got into my debug logs and found that the checker was actually failing on this step:

Execute Anonymous: List<RecordType> rtypes = [SELECT Id FROM RecordType WHERE SObjectType='Account' AND Name='Volunteer Organization Account' LIMIT 1];

I had copied and pasted my record type name and had 'Volunteer Organization Account record type' instead of 'Volunteer Organization Account' and oddly, it produced this error. Once corrected, it sailed past the field itself. Hope this helps some people.

Make sure that the API Name of the "Desired # of Volunteers" is "Desired_of_Volunteers__c"

Hi Rimon 
As you said I have tried changing the API name but still getting this error "
The 'Desired # of Volunteers' field is not the correct data type." can you help me with this error .

Anmi ch you cannot change the API name instead you need to delete the field and again redo the same.I also faced the similar issue .Deleting and redoing worked out.
