HI,

 

I have a picklist of country names and I want a fomrula to give me the region but my formula is not working as exected.

 

IF(CONTAINS(TEXT(Country__c), "Australia:Iraq"),"EU","ASIA")

 

Its not firing correctly and showing EU if I selected Australia or Iraq, it just shows ASIA.

 

(the above is an example I am testing out before adding in all countries and correct regions...

 

Thanks

    The colon (:) style of writing will ONLY work if you just 2 letter ISO-codes.

     

    In your case, you are out of options. You will have to write a lengthy Formula like - 

    CASE(

    Country__c,

    "Iraq", "EU",

    "Spain", "EU",

    "China", "ASIA",

    ....

    )

     

    You could, however, write it like this = 

    IF(CONTAINS("Australia:Iraq", TEXT(Country__c)), "EU", "ASIA")

    It could work for your example.

     

    But if the Country__c was us, then this same IF block will be fired since Australia has 'US' in it.
