Two formulas in one!

Hi,

 

 

I have 2 formulas, each of them tells to the logged user if their are selected in a custom look up : Lookuptouser/Lookuptouser2:

 

 

1: IF( Lookuptouser__r.Id  = $User.Id, "Yes", "No")

2: IF ( Lookuptouser2__r.Id = $User.Id, "Yes", "No")

 

 

How can I put these two formulas in one.

 

So instead of checking individually, I want to check if I am in Lookuptouser OR Lookuptouser2, with a Yes or NO as the answer

Have you tried this:

If (AshishPackage__User__r.Id =  $User.Id ,'yes' ,if(AshishPackage__User2__r.Id =  $User.Id,'yes','no') )

Ans:Hi,

 

Try the below formula:

IF( Lookuptouser__r.Id  = $User.Id, "Yes", "No") || IF ( Lookuptouser2__r.Id = $User.Id, "Yes", "No")

Hi,

Use the below one:

If(AshishPackage__User__r.Id  =  $User.Id ,True,False) || If(AshishPackage__User2__r.Id  =  $User.Id ,True,False)

Thank you again:

 

Error: Formula result is data type (Boolean), incompatible with expected data type (Text)

Hi,

Its working at my end.I have used this as validation rule. Think you are not using this as Validation. So for formula field  try below one it will work for you:

 

If (AshishPackage__User__r.Id =  $User.Id ,'yes' ,if(AshishPackage__User2__r.Id =  $User.Id,'yes','no') )

Hi,

 

Not for me is not a validation

 

I just  want the formula field displaying YES, if user is selected in any of Both lookups and NO in case that the logged user is not selected.

 

I want to use it for other purpose. Is not a validation!

 

Thank you
