In which, I learn about how difficult it is to write a formula properly. I ended up getting help from the Trailhead support team. • Follow along on Trailhead: • https://trailhead.salesforce.com/cont... • My name is Jeff Alhadeff. I write some of the non-technical content for #Trailhead. Join me as I study and reflect on becoming a #SalesforceAdmin. Thoughts here are my own. • #Challenge: • I had to redo the challenge a few times till I got it right. At the end, it finally made sense to me. You can jump to it here: • • Create Validation Rules / Becoming a ... • #FormulaExplainer • Here's a brief explanation of the formula. • This rule requires two conditions: • 1) The contact is associated with an account • 2) The contact's zip code is different than the account's zip code. • Use the AND to tell Salesforce that all arguments are true or that every statement is true, like so: • AND( • Next, we'll look to see if the contact has an account associated with it. But, here's the kicker, we'll do that by using a double negative with the following question: Is the account ID not blank? If it is not blank, well, it has an account. If the account ID is blank, then there's no associated account. • The next part of the formula is: • NOT(ISBLANK(AccountId)) , • The two close parentheses close the NOT and ISBLANK functions. The comma introduces the next part (or argument in tech speak) of the AND function. • Finally, we'll look to see if the contact's mailing postal code is not equal to the accounts zip code. • MailingPostalCode (ENTER NOT EQUAL SIGN) Account.ShippingPostalCode) • YouTube doesn't let me enter angled brackets. You can see that part of the formula here: • • Create Validation Rules / Becoming a ... • • That closed parenthesis after Account.ShippingPostalCode closes the AND function.
