Exclude stages from formulas

In our Opportunities we use the following formula to calculate the day's before the close date of the Opportunity.
 
{!CloseDate} - TODAY()
 
This formula calculates also the day's after the close date .
We want to exclude some stages of the Opportunity from this formula.
We only want a result of the formula when the opportunity is not equal to the stages close lost, contract, implemented and no bid.
 
Can you help me completing the formula?
 
Thank you very much

How can I delete converted lead info?

I have created some sample leads and converted them to accounts, in order to test an S-control.
When I delete the accounts(contacts and related taks) I can still see these test leads appearing as converted in my reports.
When I try to access them I get an error message "Lead has been converted".

How can I delete them?

Thanks for the help!

What is the relationship between cases and solutions?

I have downloaded the content of tables (case,casesolutions & solutions) into my own tables. I thought that there is a one to many relationship between the case object and the solutions object through casesolutions object. however the ids in the casesolutions object associated with the CaseID and SolutionID fields do not match the CaseNumber and SolutionNumber in the case and solutions table.

Any help is appreciated.

Calculation for time

Hi
I have a BeginDateTime and a EndDateTime also with a time offset in Hours.  Is there a formula where I can take the EndDateTime subtract the BeginDateTime + the TimeOffset in hours to get a total time.  Here is an example
 
BeginDateTime 11/1/06 9:35 PM
EndDateTime 11/1/06 11:45 PM
TimeOffset = 2
 
So I want to take 11/1/06 11:45PM - (11/1/06 9:35PM + 2hrs) should get calculated number field of .17 for the total hours or 10 minutes.
 
here is what my formula looks like now
(({!End_Date__c} - ({!Begin_Date__c} +  {!Time_Offset__c})   )     * 24
Thank you

How to detect Enterprise Edition or Unlimited Edition edition via API ?

Hi All,
Is anybody know the way how to detect the type of SalesForce edition via API ?
I know it is a well know question but unfortunately I didn't find any clear answer on this question.
Sales Force providing a lot of different editions: Enterprise, Unlimited .... but I didn't find any way how to detect type of editions.
I found some advise from Benji Jasik. He suggest to query for an object that is only in Enterprise Edition, and if it fails, assume you are in Professional. So can somebody provide a list of such objects ? During test the following links http://www.salesforce.com/products/comparison.jsp
I didn't find the objects for query.
Can somebody help?
Thank you in advance

What's wrong with my margin formula?

I'm getting the following error message for the formula I build below which I don't understand."Error: Compiled formula is too big to execute (4,074 characters). Maximum size is 4,000 characters" By my count I have 159 characters!

The formula I've created is trying to figure out the margins between what the end user (customer) pays 2nd tier (reseller) and what 2nd tier pays the 1st Tier (distributor). The formula also need to take into consideration that sometimes there may not be 2nd Tier (reseller) and that the 1st Tier sells directly to the end user (customer).
I'm using a what if statement in case there is no 2nd Tier. Do I have my formula right?

FORMULA
IF( ISNULL( {!New_2nd_Tier_Margin__c}) , (1.00-({!New_1st_Tier_Cost__c} / {!
New_End_User_Cost__c} )), (1.00-({!New_1st_Tier_Cost__c} / {!New_2nd_Tier_Cost__c} )))

Does anyone know how I do this? I have tried exporting my contacts into excel and then filling in the missing cells, then hitting "update selected cells". I get an error message. I have also tried using the wizard but I don't know how to set the criteria so that  "Account" "Equals" "BlANK". No data comes up when I do this.
Any suggestions?

"Newbie" assistance request

Greetings all,
 
I'm fairly new to SFDC customizations, so I'm wondering if someone might be able to help me !
 
I have two custom objects..  let's call them TableParent and TableChild.
 
TableParent has the following fields:  Primary1, Field2 and Field3.
 
TableChild has a a field called MyParent, which is simply a lookup against TableParent (and produces a selection list of the parent table's primary field, Primary1).
 
TableChild also has fields ParentField2 and ParentField3.  I would like these to auto-populate based on the selection of MyParent.
 
How to proceed?
 
Thanks to any and all assistance,

Ability to read numbers from picklists and add all of them

Hello,

I am trying to create a scoring system for my clients so I can rate each client.  I have created several drop down lists for my salesforce team to choose from.  (Each picklist has a choice between 1 2 3).  What I want to do is at the end of the test use a formula to provide the final score the client received.  I tried to use the ISPICKVAL however I was unsuccessful.  If I had a picklist of numeric values 1 2 3 4 5, how would I create a formula to read those values and add other values of other picklists that have 1 2 3 4 5 and provide a final sum?

Thanks

Duplicating a field using a field formula

My organization has a small problem and we are looking for a solution to fix this issue. On the lead side we collect information in a particular field, and we would like to map this information to both the contact and the opportunity record upon converting.

As far as we are aware, SFDC does not allow duplicate mapping to occur. If I am wrong in this, please let me know and explain how I can make it happen. Our thought is then to create a 2nd custom field with a field formula that looks something like (field2 = field1) so that when we convert we can just map it to 2 locations.

Can anyone shed some light on this, and provide some assistance on how to solve this problem.
