Hi,
I have a custom billing_account__c object on which we can create cases of particular record type.
I am giving case creation function through a custom button.
Here is the challenge am trying to solve.
If there is a open case already existing on billing_account__c on that record type, I would like to close new case and if does not
Exist I will go ahead and create a case.
I am trying this using triggers but since new could not find a way.
Can someone help with this!?
Regards 

I am trying to login in apex data loader. but I am not able to see screen fully.
Is there a fix for this? I am practicing import and export with data Management tools > use data loader to export data

There was an unexpected error while verifying this challenge. Usually this is due to some pre-existing configuration or code in the challenge Org.

Hello,
Can anybody help me on this Case Trigger I'm working on?

Basically when a new case comes in via W2C, I have a trigger to link the Account (or create one if needed). It works in sandbox but something is going wrong with the amount of data returned in my query on line 14. The custom E_mail__c field is indexed, and I'm not sure what else I could check.

Is there something I'm missing in my WHERE clause (in particular to line 14 of the code snippet)?

trigger CaseAutocreateAccount on Case (before insert) {
    List<String> emailAddresses = new List<String>();
    
    //First exclude any cases where the account is set
    for (Case caseObj:Trigger.new) {
        if (caseObj.AccountId==null &&
            caseObj.SuppliedEmail!='')
        {
            emailAddresses.add(caseObj.SuppliedEmail);
        }
    }

    //Now we have a nice list of all the email addresses.  Let's query on it and see how many Accounts already exist.
    List<Account> listAccounts = [Select Id,E_mail__c From Account Where E_mail__c in :emailAddresses];
    Set<String> takenEmails = new Set<String>();
    for (Account a:listAccounts) {
        takenEmails.add(a.E_mail__c);
    }
    
    Map<String,Account> emailToAccountMap = new Map<String,Account>();
    List<Case> casesToUpdate = new List<Case>();

    for (Case caseObj:Trigger.new) {
        if (caseObj.AccountId==null &&
            //caseObj.Origin=='Web' &&
            caseObj.SuppliedEmail!=null &&
            //caseObj.SuppliedName!='' &&
            //!caseObj.SuppliedName.contains('@') &&
            caseObj.SuppliedEmail!='' &&
            !takenEmails.contains(caseObj.SuppliedEmail))
        {
            //The case was created with a null Account
            //Let's make a account for it
            String[] nameParts = caseObj.SuppliedName.split(' ',2);
            if (nameParts.size() == 2)
            {
                Account acct = new Account(FirstName=nameParts[0],
                                            LastName=nameParts[1],
                                            E_mail__c=caseObj.SuppliedEmail);
                emailToAccountMap.put(caseObj.SuppliedEmail,acct);
                casesToUpdate.add(caseObj);
            }
        }
    }
    
    List<Account> newAccounts = emailToAccountMap.values();
    insert newAccounts;
    
    for (Case caseObj:casesToUpdate) {
        Account newAccount = emailToAccountMap.get(caseObj.SuppliedEmail);
        
        caseObj.AccountId = newAccount.Id;
    }
}

Thanks for any help provided!

I just completed the first challenge.  The Check Challenge button is inactive. What should I do?  

The default behaviour of clicking on a report in a dashboard in our instance runs the report again instead of showing the report at the time the dashboard was last refreshed.

For example: I have a dashboard which is scheduled to run at midnight every night but when trying to open the results by clicking on the section in the dashboard it runs it again and displays new data.

Is there a way to change this behaviour so that clicking on the report in the dashboard displays the historic data instead of displaying the new data?

Thanks,

Chris.

The Error I get is: "Step Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
Please check that your report includes at least all of these columns: Supply: Supply Name, Unit Cost, Quantity and Total. 
Note: you may run into errors if you've skipped previous steps."
this is my report:

not sure where I made a mistake
