Distance calculator
Hi,
I am using professional edition, and my customer has the following requirement: When any user does any service call then the user should enter the location from where he travelled From and To and the distance should get auto calculate. Does any one have any idea how I can create the same or any App exchane App. Help is appreciated.
Ex: Location
From: X
To: Y
Distance: (The system calculates the distance depending on the location name entered in X and Y)
You just need to create a formula field on your object. Which will look something like this :
Just replace API names with your own and try to run this, hope this will work.
How to create formula field : Go To your object from setup > Create New Field(Formula).
Hi,
can you please explain in description how I can go about this, as this is something new.
Appreciate your help.
Just click on Setup > App Setup > Go TO your Object > Create new field > Select Formula > Provide Name > Return Type number > Copy Paste the above code > Replace Distance_API__c with your distance field API names > Save the field.
Now what exactly this validation do is, will check that both the distance fields are not null. If both fields have value then it will provide the difference between both. If both fields are null then it will return 0.
I think we are slightly off track:
Example: There are three fields in salesforce To,From and Distance
In the To field i enter: M.GRoad(Location Name)
From: Residency Road(Loacation Name)
Distance: 4Km(System should pull the distance from google maps and paste it in this field)
