Star Rating Field Using Formula in Salesforce

Biswajeet   December 16, 2017   No Comments on Star Rating Field Using Formula in Salesforce

Here is an example of Star Rating field using Formula in Salesforce. In below example I’m displaying the Star Rating, based on a Student’s grade.

In Student custom object, I have created a Picklist Field.
Label: Grade
Type: Picklist
Values:

0
1
2
3
4
5

And then I have created a Formula Field on the same Student object. This is to represent the Star Rating.
Label: Rating
Type: Formula
Formula: 

IMAGE(
IF(TEXT(Grade__c) = '0', "/img/samples/stars_000.gif",
IF(TEXT(Grade__c) = '1', "/img/samples/stars_100.gif",
IF(TEXT(Grade__c) = '2', "/img/samples/stars_200.gif",
IF(TEXT(Grade__c) = '3', "/img/samples/stars_300.gif",
IF(TEXT(Grade__c) = '4', "/img/samples/stars_400.gif",
IF(TEXT(Grade__c) = '5', "/img/samples/stars_500.gif",
"/img/samples/stars_000.gif"
)))))),
'Rating Level')

Salesforce IMAGE Function in Formula Field

Biswajeet   December 15, 2017   No Comments on Salesforce IMAGE Function in Formula Field

In Salesforce formula field using IMAGE(image_url, alternate_text, height, width) function, we can insert an image with alternate text and height/width specifications.

In below example, I’ve created a custom field “Priority__c” in “Case” object with below formula. This formula displays a red, yellow, or green flag image to indicate case priority High, Medium or Low.

Formula Field:

	 
IF(TEXT(Priority) = 'High', IMAGE("/img/samples/color_red.gif", "Red", 10 , 50), 
IF(TEXT(Priority) = 'Medium', IMAGE("/img/samples/color_yellow.gif", "Yellow", 10, 50), 
IF(TEXT(Priority) = 'Low', IMAGE("/img/samples/color_green.gif", "Green", 10, 50), 
NULL)))
