Custom Label value not working in SOQL Query

Hi All,

I am trying to use custom label value in SOQL Query. Query is not accepting custom label value. it is expecting number. 

Integer num_days = Integer.valueOf(System.Label.Num_of_Days);
Select id, name FROM contact WHERE LastModifiedDate >= LAST_N_DAYS :num_days 

Thanks,
Anil Kumar

Hi Anil,
You'll need dynamic SOQL to make it work.

See similar post in the context of date field: https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/195205/how-to-use-custom-label-inside-soql-query-for-date-value. You need to customize for number as per your requirement

Hi Swetha,

Thank you for the responce,,,dynamic SOQL worked for me. 

        Integer num_days = Integer.valueOf(System.Label.Num_of_Days);
        string Query='Select id, name FROM contact WHERE LastModifiedDate >= LAST_N_DAYS :'+num_days;
        system.debug('Query...'+Query);

Thanks,
