Hi there

 

Please help me out with validation rule for saying that email ID has to be entered in a specific format as in 'abcd@xyz.com'. I am new to formulas and validation rules.

 

Thanks

If the datatype of the field is set to Email you don't need a VR, SFDC will automatically validate the formatting.  If the datatype is TEXT then you'll need a REGEX function, unfortunately there is no beat all end all REGEX VR for emails.

That was informative. I am new to this and learning it all by myself. So that answers why I'm asking such questions.

 

Anyways thanks again :)
