I am using this formula

(TODAY() - Date_Mktg_Lead__c) - IF((LastActivityDate - Date_Mktg_Lead__c)> (Action_Taken_Date__c - Date_Mktg_Lead__c), (LastActivityDate - Date_Mktg_Lead__c), (Action_Taken_Date__c - Date_Mktg_Lead__c))

This Includes three date fields 

Date_Mktg_Lead__c

LastActivityDate

Action_Taken_Date__c 

This is working well if all the date fields are filled but if one of the field is blank it dosn't work. Please suggest....

Hi All,

I have some apex jobs which I need to run every week.Earlier,I used to run it through developer console but Now, I need to create unmanaged package for the apex jobs. So now my requirement is to automate it using apex classes.

Can anybody please provide me some code so that I can get started.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I have some batch jobs in my org. They are working fine. I faced some isuus when I created some validation rules for making some fields mandatory. I get errors for my test classes that there must be those mandatory fileds in test classes which have been made mandatory through validation rules. I am able to run batch jobs only when i deactivate those validation rules.

I think there must be some ways so that test classes are not imacted directly by validtaion rules else every time i create a validation rule I have to make changes in test classes.

Can anybody please suggest some remedy for this. 

Thanks in advance!

Hi All,

I have written two apex classes in sandbox. Code for both the classes are similar except  type being differnet. I have two types of opportunities ie. recurrig and non-recurring. So the only difference in code is for type of opportunity. Rest of the code is same for both the classes.They are working fine in sandbox. But when I deploy these to production, One class

works well but for the other I get an error saying "Attempt to derefernce a null object".

I am unable to understand why I am getting this error when it is working fine in sandbox .Can someone please give me some pointer/reason why I am getting this error and solution.

Thanks,

Hi All, I have written a batch class and am not getting the expected results. I have tried everything possible and could not find out where I am wrong with my logic. Let me explain the issue in detail and with an example. I have a sales executive John who has total 412 opportunities and number of won opportunities for him are 256. When i run the batch, What I get is three set of won opportunities i.e. 197, 18,41 total of these are exactly 256.

What i think is that the results i am getting this because the data is being passed into three batches and a batch gets processed and its gets updated then the next one and then the third one. But what is expected is that number of won opportunities field should be updated with 256 not with three different values i.e. all the opportunities get processed for one opportunity owner and then updated not for 1 batch at a time.

I would like to mention here that I am getting the expected results for the opportunities owners who have less 200 opportunities. Please suggest me what change I need to make so that I can get the expected result and what the mistake is.

Hi all,

I have two fields Average_Sales_Cycle__c and Booking_Date__c.

Average_Sales_Cycle__c        Number(18, 0)

Booking_Date__c                     Date

I want to add both these fields and get the added value as a date. I am querying these two fields in a btach apex and trying to add both like below.

Date BookingDate=opp1.Date_Opened__c+opp1.Average_Sales_Cycle__c

but getting an error "Date arithmetic expressions must use Integer or Long arguments at line 85 column 40".

How can I achieve this and I also want to compare the month of BookingDate against 1 to 12.

Please let me know how this can be achieved.

Hi All,

I have a requirement where I need to create a trigger which ensures an account having same name with same parent id can't be inserted.

Can somebody help  me with the code?

Thanks in advance!

~Alok

Hi All,

I have written a query which prevents from entring a duplicte account. I just want to add one more condition.

If parent account of the account being entered is same only then I want make sure that account is not the duplicate one. And if parent id is different then an account with same name can be entered.

My code is below:

trigger accDuplicatePreventer on Account (before insert, before update) {

Map<String, Account> accMap = new Map<String, Account>();

for (Account acc : System.Trigger.new) {

if ((acc.Name != null) &&  (System.Trigger.IsInsert || acc.Name!= System.Trigger.oldMap.get(acc.Id).Name)) {

if (accMap.containsKey(acc.Name)) {

  acc.Name.addError('Another new acconut has the ' + 'same email address.');

} else {

    accMap.put(acc.Name, acc); } }

}

for (Account acc : [SELECT Name FROM Account WHERE Name IN :accMap.KeySet()]) {     Account newAccount = accMap.get(acc.Name);     newAccount.Name.addError('A account with this name' + '  already exists.');

}}

How the above code can be modified to accomodate the above condition.

Thanks in advance!

Hi All,

I have a requirement where I have to grade out some fields. Let me explain the requirement. I have a filed called "Stage' which has different stages like Stage A, Stage B, Stage C. These stages have some sub-stages like Stage A-Contact Made, Stage A-Goal Shared, Stage B-Contact Made, Stage B-Goal Shared, Stage B-Contact Made, Stage B-Goal Shared.

My requrement is when I select a  stage, Sub-satges of it should appear in other section or table with date fields against every sub stage and other stage should be graded out(user interface element should be  displayed with a light shade of gray instead of black).

What componetns are available in visualforce to grade out components while making some componetns appear in black and also some help on apex controler class.

Any code or pointer would be appreciated.

Hello,

once we log into salesforce, click Your Name > Setup > Data Management > Data Loader.

Do you know the license of this software? I know it is free but we need to be sure about the license before we take it in our organization.

Could you please confirm that it is free.
