mjohnson-TIC Formula Field Bug
I found something very odd this morning in the evaluation of number formula fields. Here is a simple formula example where it is returning the incorrect value.
IF(Number_Field__c != null, 1, 2)
For some reason entering a number in Formula_Field__c will NOT cause the expected 1 to be returned on this record but rather 2. That means even on a record where a value is entered for Number_Field__c, the expressions Number_Field__c != null returns false meaning the system recognizes this as Formula_Field__c = null?
The workaround for this issue is change the expression to
IF(NOT(ISNULL(Number_Field__c)), 1, 2)
I thought everyone would like to be aware of this issue.
Try using something like:
Also make sure you select "Treat blank fields as blanks"
are you all set or do you still need help?
I came up with a workaround, just thought people would like to know number formula fields do not evaluate IF(Number_Field__c != null) correctly - thanks.
