Illegal assignment error?

Hi guys

 

How to handle this type of error?

 

Error: UploadDoc Compile Error: Illegal assignment from String to Decimal at line 47 column 5

kiranmutturukiranmutturu

you are assinging the wrong type to another type.. if you are assigining a string to decimal then you need to do some thing like this

 

String temp = '12.4567';

Decimal myDecimal = decimal.valueOf(temp);

Thx a lot kiran for ur reply

 

Below  is my sample code. when i was trying to access these  fields i am getting illegal statement error so i commented.

while declaring the fileds i have declared for this datatype as 'Number '.

 

Plz have a look  below code once

 

plz do the needfull

thx in advance...

 

public Pagereference ReadFile()
    {
        nameFile=contentFile.toString();
        filelines = nameFile.split('\n');
        accstoupload = new List<property__c>();
        for (Integer i=1;i<filelines.size();i++)
        {
            String[] inputvalues = new String[]{};
            inputvalues = filelines[i].split(',');
           
            property__c pt = new property__c();
         
    //pt.property_value__c= inputvalues[1];
    //pt.property_zip__c= inputvalues[2];

 //pt.land_value__c= inputvalues[3];

 

}

Plz find below  code kiran..

 

thx in advance
kiranmutturukiranmutturu

after u getting the list of values from the split you need to assing the values from list to the some object fileds by respecting their type....so when ever u are  assigining a value please take care about the target field type ....

 

//pt.property_number__c  = integer.valueof(your string value); like this all should satisfy also you should check for whether the list is having values or not.....using list methods....

thx for ur reply kiran..could u please tel me ur  gmail id?

Hello, 
i am getting
" Error: Compile Error: Illegal assignment from String to Decimal "
Why this is so?
To avoid this error i am using "decimal.valueof(csvRecordData[1]);"
it gives the reverse error " Error: Compile Error: Illegal assignment from Decimal to String ".


public void importCSVFile(){
       try{
           csvAsString = csvFileBody.toString();
           csvFileLines = csvAsString.split('\n'); 
            
           for(Integer i=1;i<csvFileLines.size();i++){
               Distributor_Prior_Sales__c prisale = new Distributor_Prior_Sales__c() ;
               string[] csvRecordData = csvFileLines[i].split(',');
               prisale.SMS_Year__c= csvRecordData[0] ;             
               prisale.SMS_sales_amount__c= csvRecordData[1];
               prisale.Exhibit_A_Customer__c= csvRecordData[2];
               prisale.Calculation_Type__c= csvRecordData[3];                                                                        
               accon.add(prisale);   
           }
        //insert acclist;
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            ApexPages.Message errorMessage = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.severity.ERROR,'An error has occured while importing data Please make sure input csv file is correct');
            ApexPages.addMessage(errorMessage);
        }

Hello Guys,

I have a error in below trigger code.
*********************************************************
trigger AccountNameUpdate on Booking_Link__c (before insert, before update) {
    List<Account> accountList = new List<Account>();
    Decimal CustomNumber;
    for(Booking_Link__c bl : Trigger.new)
    {       
6th       CustomNumber = bl.Customer_Number__c;
    }
8th    accountList = [Select Id, OwnerId, Customer_Number__pc from Account where Customer_Number__pc =:CustomNumber ];
    for(Booking_Link__c bl : Trigger.new)
    {
        for(Account a : accountList)
        {
           if(bl.Customer_Number__c == a.Customer_Number__pc)
            {
                bl.Account__c = a.Id;
                bl.OwnerId = a.OwnerId;
            }
        }
    }  
}
*****************************************************************************
Line 6:  CustomNumber = bl.Customer_Number__c;
Line 8: accountList = [Select Id, OwnerId, Customer_Number__pc from Account where Customer_Number__c =:CustomNumber ];

In Line 8 i have changed the bold one from Customer_Number__c to Customer_Number__pc.
why because we have the Customer Number field API as above because we are using PersonAccount.

Please help me from these errors.

Errors:

Line 6: Illegal assignment from String to Decimal
Line 8: 
Customer_Number__pc from Account where Customer_Number__c =:CustomNumber
                                       ^
ERROR at Row:1:Column:60
No such column 'Customer_Number__c' on entity 'Account'. If you are attempting to use a custom field, be sure to append the '__c' after the custom field name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.


Guys, Please help me out from this.

Thanks and Regards,
Azar Khasim.
