We are trying to build some fields on one object to pull information from another object. We were able to do this on date and text fields using the cross-object formula outlined in the SFDC help. However, there is not a formula type for a pick-list, so how do we create a cross-object formula that will pull a pick-list value from another object? We logged a case with SFDC and received a response that this is possible, but as we have standard support, they couldn't tell us how to do it - very frustrating.  We tried the ISPICKLIST based off another post, but couldn't get that to work with the cross-object formula; maybe we're just missing a set of parentheses - has anyone built this type of formula successfully?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

I built a report that has 579 results. If I export the report directly to excel, then all 579 records are exported. However, when I import the same report via the excel connector, then only 239 records are exported, and I can not determine why certain records are not being pulled from the report, since it works completely when I export directly from SFDC.  Any ideas?

Thank you in advace!
