I think before this Choice Lookup input component came out, we could only do this using the “Quick Lookup” component from UnofficialSF. But it’s better for me to use standard Salesforce features when possible.

    This is really helpful, however how would you only apply the last example to calculate for each group - for instance the CY2017 values only calculate based upon the 2017 fiscal periods, without being impacted by the 2016 fiscal period? i.e how to force q3-2017 to give an empty value as there's no prior 2017 value.

      Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad to hear it! To answer your question - if I'm understanding correctly, I believe you would use a plain summary formula (so not PARENTGROUPVAL nor PREVGROUPVAL, since those are specifically for being able to work across groupings). Unless I'm misunderstanding how you'd like the calculation to run

    • @employedforgood
      @employedforgood Місяць тому

      Hi there - sorry for the delay! But short version, it would be the baseline CASE function from the start of the video, nested in an IF statement. Let's call the formula from the video 02:14 <<CASE FUNCTION>>. To return the date + 3 business days, this is the logic: - If <<CASE FUNCTION>> returns a weekday, add 3 days - If <<CASE FUNCTION>> returns Saturday, add 5 days Otherwise, if it's Sunday, add 4 days. So it would look something like this: IF( <<CASE FUNCTION>> <=4, <<CASE FUNCTION>> + 3, IF( <<CASE FUNCTION>> =5, <<CASE FUNCTION>> + 5, <<CASE FUNCTION>> + 4 )))

    • @employedforgood

    Hi i love your videos. I just want to understand this filter "Account without Cases" & "Closed = False" ? Why is it showing closed cases still when the Boolean is False for Closed field? It seems it should be "Closed = true" then. The "Closed = False" is so tricky. Hope to hear from you. Thank youuu

    • @employedforgood
      @employedforgood 4 місяці тому

      Hi there - thanks for your patience getting back to this! I'm guessing this is about the cross filter example at 5:05. Hopefully what follows answers your question. The "Closed" boolean field on a case record is basically asking "Is this case closed?" So TRUE means that it is closed, FALSE means that it's not/ the case is still open. From there: 1) Our report type is 'Accounts', which means our report results will only show Account field data (not cases). I wasn't sure from your question whether this was clear 2) Our 'Accounts Without Cases' filter is going to show only Accounts without ANY cases, that then meet the subsequent filter criteria 3) Our Closed = FALSE filter applies to Cases that are still open So when we step back, the entire cross filter is searching for Accounts without cases, where the Closed status is false (AKA, Accounts Without Open Cases). That leaves two possibilities which are outlined at 5:39; Accounts that have no case history, and accounts that only have closed cases linked NOW if we had set up a cross filter that shows "Accounts With Cases" where "Closed = True", that might seem like it should be the same thing. But in reality, that would only show us Accounts with Case history, where at least 1 case is closed. This is one of those things that's easier to "see" than it is to explain. But I agree that it is confusing....I'd suggest practicing and trying to "see" it for yourself in the report results that you get.

    • @dominicalfonso2375
      @dominicalfonso2375 4 місяці тому

      @@employedforgood Thank you so much, I get it now. So the first filter is "Accounts without Open Cases" and the second filter is Closed = False ( which this filter could pull cases that are still open). But since it is contradicting to the first filter, then it will still show "Accounts without Cases" but this time with a Case that has a "Closed" status instead! Iloveit now I can sleep :D thanks for accommodating my question, you are the best!

I would like to create a comparative in the Summary Level of the actual sale versus the SUM of the previous months, so example the new Column will have: Month1 Sum: 0 (because is the first one and Preval doesn't have that value), M2 Sum: $5 (The amount of M1), M3 Sum: $9 (The sum of sales of previous months M1+M2) and M4 Sum: $15 (SUM of M1+M2+M3).

      Hi - I'm glad to hear this helped! I need to make a follow-up video on these formulas: I've gotten a few questions, and honestly, it takes me a minute (and lots of experimentation sometimes) to make sense of them. I'll let you know once it goes live

    How to calculate the business day of the current month ?

      Hi - I'm not sure what this question is asking but feel free to clarify, I'll try to answer. To grab the current month, it would probably be MONTH(TODAY()) OR MONTH(DATEVALUE(TODAY()))

    Is there any way to do this without opening the file? Mine crashes so I can’t access any of the menus. There is a broken formula that makes it crash so I need to return to the version before that

    Great video. I see what I’ve been doing wrong; thank you. When adding the single-record variable to the collection-record variable, you point out removing the period from the value selection, so the whole record is selection instead of a single field. Is that called dot notation? How do I describe that in order to do some more research? I don’t understand why the two step process is needed: collect a single record and then add the single to the collection. Seems like I should be able to add each individual value to the collection-record in a mulit-value assignment, instead of the doing that to the single-record first. Does that make sense? Again, thank you so much for taking the time to make the video. I found it very helpful.

      Hi Greg - first, apologies for taking so long to respond. I'm just figuring out how to keep tabs on my video comments! I don't believe that step (of removing the period) is considered dot notation necessarily. But to your larger question about adding records to collections vs specific values - you should definitely be able to do the latter. But that depends on how you've set up the collection variable, and more specifically, the format that you select when creating. So for example - if you wanted to grab just the record Id value (text), you could choose that in your Assignment and then add it to a text collection variable. But if you have a record collection variable, like I do in the video, then it only supports full records. A bit late for an explanation, but hopefully that makes sense
