Help With A Workflow formula and IF statement

Hi guys,

I want to send an email notification to users based on two field criterias. These are:
1. the payment method = Barter 
2. the payment amount field has been updated

I have created a custom field to capture the previous amount value when that field has been changed and I have built a workflow rule with a field update for this.

AND(
              ISCHANGED( Payment_Amount__c ),

              NOT(ISBLANK(TEXT(Payment_Amount__c)))
             )

Hi Nevin O'Regan,
Try this, maybe this will help you. 
AND(
   ISPICKVAL(Payment_Method__c , 'Barter'),
   ISCHANGED(  Previous_Value__c ),
   ISCHANGED(  Payment_Amount__c ) 
)

If you found it useful please appreciate my efforts and mark it as the best answer.

Hi Nevin,
While creating the WF, opt the third option - Evaluate the rule when a record is created, and any time it's edited to subsequently meet criteria.
And use ISCHANGED( Payment_Amount__c ) in the rule criteria.

Hi Danish,

I'd also like to include in the statement that Payment_Method__c = Barter. Would this be an IF statement and if so where do I add it in?

Hi Soyab,

So I would like an email notification sent from the system if the Amount field is changed and the field Payment_Method__c = Barter. I have built a workflow rule which updates a custom field Previous_Value__c with the previous value of the Amount field when it has been changed.
I need this so I can include both fields in the email notification.
What I need is a workflow rule to fire when both the Amount field has been updated and the Payment_Method__c picklist field = Barter.

Hi Nevin,

I have gone through your question. Though you did not mention whether your payment method field is a string or picklist, 
I have created a formula for both cases. Please have a look - 
  
//if the payment method field is string
AND(
    ISCHANGED( Payment_Amount__c ),
    NOT(ISBLANK(TEXT(Payment_Amount__c))),
    Payment_Method__c = 'Barter'
    )


//if the payment method field is picklist
AND(
    ISCHANGED( Payment_Amount__c ),
    NOT(ISBLANK(TEXT(Payment_Amount__c))),
    ISPICKVALUE(Payment_Method__c,'Barter')
    )

I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Ajay,

I the Payment_Method__c is picklist field and I have tried your formula but I am getting the below error:

Error: Field Payment_Method__c is a picklist field. Picklist fields are only supported in certain functions.

Hi Nevin,

You can try using TEST() method to convert picklist to text. Please try the below syntax - 
  
AND(
    ISCHANGED( Payment_Amount__c ),
    NOT(ISBLANK(TEXT(Payment_Amount__c))),
    TEXT(Payment_Method__c) = 'Barter'
    )

I hope you find the above solution helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.
