Minkesh JAHERALY Improve Data Quality for a Cleaning Supply App - Create a Formula Field : Challenge Not yet complete
Hello,
I tried many times... but receive the same error message : "Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong:
Formula in custom field 'Account Annual Revenue' is not correct. Check the instructions."
I followed all instructions & get the right results. It's a basic & very simple formula.
Do someone else encounter the same issue ? Any solution ?

Laura Greer 14 Having trouble following the instructions in Use Formula Fields module
Hi,
Th instructions don't make sense to me in Exercise 3 (Example 3: Finding Distinct Objects Using the Power of One) of the Use Formula Fields module - https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/trails/force_com_admin_intermediate/modules/point_click_business_logic/units/formula_fields?trailmix_creator_id=00550000006HirqAAC&trailmix_id=admin-exam.
It says to create a formula field on the User object for reporting the distinct number of unique users for opportunities.
It goes on to instruct as folllows...
Create an Opportunities report and drag your Unique Users field onto the report from the left panel. You should see something similar to the following:
I don't understand how adding the Unique Users field to the user object would allow me to add that column on an opportunity record. It seems like the two objects would need to be joined. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Laura

Best Answer chosen by Laura Greer 14Hi,
It is not really a formula but a "constant value" (value: 1) and the exercise is still working (I just made a test).
To write this formula, create a custom formula field on the User object. Name it Unique Users, give it a Number return type, and select 0 from the Decimal Places drop-down list. Click Next to open the formula editor. For this formula, you don’t need to insert any fields, operators, or functions. Instead, enter the number 1.
Search the field: unique

why do we use support processes?
Hi all,
While exploring the salesforce features i came across supoort process
Record types allow us to customize the picklist values then why wud we use this solution process feature?
While exploring the salesforce features i came across supoort process
- Support processes are used to add or remove the status values of cases
- After a support process has been created its assigned to a record type
Record types allow us to customize the picklist values then why wud we use this solution process feature?
Best Answer chosen by SFDC coderHi,
Support Process is only for the "Status" picklist, as you might know. The picklist values available in the status of a case record type determine a support process. It is only a business relevant feature as the status field is the most process-specific field on a case. The status field cannot be customized on a record type, it can only be customized in a support process.
Thanks,
Shashank

Help with apex test class July 27th 2020
Hello,
I have a Apex class that select records where a field > 0. It then loops through these leads and creates a record in a custom object (Metrics__c). Based on the date it creates a record with a 0 value or with a value > 0. The class works great (tested in Dev Console as a batch) but I'm going in cirlces trying to get the test class past 61%. Any help would be appreciated!

Best Answer chosen by Krista KellyThe issue, as is often the case, is building the test data to ensure we get into every branch of the IF ... ELSE ... structure.
First, a tweak to your code, you have a loop where you are inserting the records inside the loop one by one. This is not good for bulkification, so lets build a list to hold the new records and do the insert outside the loop.
Now when we do our test class lets build more than one test so that we can hit all the branches and do some asserts that have some meaning.
Note that in the first test method we have test data that will fulfill all the IF components of the code. In the second test , we have data that will drive into each of the ELSE components of the code.
Also note, that when posting code, the code snippet button helps make the code more readable:

Daniel Puza How should a Lightning component communicate with a loaded Canvas App?
We are developing a custom Lightning component that contains a Canvas App which loads our external site inside of the Lightning component.
Is it possible, and if so what are some recommended ways to communicate between the Lightning component and the loaded Canvas App site? (NOT the parameters passed in to load the canvas app initially.)
For instance, we would like a button in the Lightning component to trigger an action inside the loaded Canvas App.
It seems that various methods of communicating are restricted by Lightning Locker etc. I found documentation for various methods of event raising and handling but all I've tried have been without success. It seems possible they're only for communicating from Lightning component to Lightning component, or from canvas app to canvas app (or Visualforce), but not Lightning component to canvas app.
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/events_component.htm
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.platform_connect.meta/platform_connect/canvas_app_events.htm
I was able to send a message from the canvas app to the lightning component using this "non-standard, probably unsupported technique", but not the other way around.

Best Answer chosen by Daniel PuzaDaniel PuzaSince using events between a Visualforce page and a canvas app (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.platform_connect.meta/platform_connect/canvas_vf_app_resizing.htm) is supported, I wrapped our canvas app in an empty Visualforce page and used this blog article (https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/developer-relations/2017/01/lightning-visualforce-communication.html) as an example to communicate between the lightning component and the Visualforce page by loading the Visualforce page in an iframe:
Then I am able to use postMessage (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/postMessage)/addEventListener (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener) to communicate between the lightning component and the wrapper Visualforce page. And can use publish (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.platform_connect.meta/platform_connect/canvas_app_vf_publish_code_example.htm)/subscribe (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.platform_connect.meta/platform_connect/canvas_app_vf_subscribe_code_example.htm) to pass the event between Visualforce and the canvas app.
Another approach that works is using SignalR on our external app to trigger the communication. Had to work through some configuration for CORS, but got a proof of concept working that way too.
Tried to accomplish the same thing with CometD. I thought it could be a little cleaner than SignalR because it’s built in to Salesforce and there is some Salesforce documentation on it. However, I haven’t been able to get the CometD approach to work. The Salesforce side is throwing CORS errors, even though I have the connection included in the Salesforce CORS/CSP whitelist. I set up the CORS configuration in IIS and got SignalR working, but I don’t know what else I can configure in Salesforce to allow the same thing with CometD and CORS, or if it’s even possible. According to this (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.chatterapi.meta/chatterapi/extend_code_cors.htm), only these Salesforce technologies support CORS.

d3developer Initializing List of Strings with Json-like Format
Okay folks, I know this is a n00b question but I can't remember if or how to initialize a string with a set of arguments.
What I want to do is something like this
List<String> alphabet = { 'a' , 'b' , 'c' ... };
How can I do this?
Best Answer chosen by Admin (Salesforce Developers) Jeremy.Nottingh
List<String> alphabet = new list<String> { 'a' , 'b' , 'c' ... };
That should do ya.
xpresslanej web-to-lead not picking up record type even with "keep existing record type" option set
Howdy everyone,
Well, I'm a bit stumped. I'm trying to test a web-to-lead form where I preset the record type:
<input type="hidden" id="recordType" name="recordType" value="012Q00000008ULW">
I have the "keep the existing record type" option set under Lead Settings and it is still not working.
Everything else is populating correctly on the lead record in SFDC.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Best Answer chosen by Admin (Salesforce Developers) xpresslanejI figured it out...not intuitive at first, but I can understand the reasoning I suppose based on the order of operations. I checked the profile of the Default Lead Owner and this profile did not have the new lead record type selected under Record Type Settings. Did not think about this at first because a user with this profile should NEVER be assigned this type of lead. However, even though the assignment rules were assigning the leads to the right user (who has a different profile), the record type was not being set. Adding the new record type to the Default Lead Owner's profile fixed this.
Does this mean that, in terms of operations, that the lead owner is first set to the Default Lead Owner and then assignment rules are evaluated & applied?
jhartfield Bug? 'Split' function does not work for '*' or '+'
I randomly was trying a split today on a '*' field and got the following error:
System.StringException: Invalid regex: Dangling meta character '*' near index 0 * ^
Out of curiosity, I tried to split on '+' and got the same error.
This is easily reproducible for me by running the following code in the execute anonymous window - can anyone else confirm?
string sString = 'someStuff'; string[] splitted = sString.split('*');
Best Answer chosen by Admin (Salesforce Developers) The following allows the text to be split on the '*' character:
string sString = 'some*Stuff'; string[] splitted = sString.split('\\*'); system.debug('Splitted = ' + splitted);
Itzik Winograd 7 Listen to Flow Navigation Events on LWC
Hi
I need to perform an action on a LWC component when the flow navigates to Next/Finish. Since this component is part of a screen, I cant add my own navigation buttons on this component.
So, Is there any way to listen to the flow's native Navigation events?
Or, the only solution is to override the footer and add my own navigation buttons and use c-pubsub to perform an action on the mentioned component?
Thanks in advanced!

You should be able to use the Validate hook to accomplish this (discussed here and here). If you add it to your LWC, you'll get called each time something attempts to transition out of the flow screen. Most components that use this use it to carry out validation and potentially block the transition, but you could use it as a simple notification. I hope this helps
