    Hi Prakhar,

    It's look like currently this functionality is not supported by salesforce . You can create a new salesforce idea for this functionality. May be salesforce add this functionality in further release.

    June 17, 2016 at 10:38 am in reply to: How do we export dashboard into a PDF report in Salesforce?

    Hi Jay,

    There is no standard functionality that will allow you to do this,but you can do this by doing some manual work:
    1. First Create a visualforce page with renderAs = pdf.
    2. Go to your dashboard panel and copy the image url.
    3. Add the copied image url inside <img></imag> tag on visualforce page.

    <apex:page name="CustomDashBoard" renderAs="PDF" showHeader="true" sidebar="false" title="Custom DashBoard">
    <p><img src = "your image url"></img></p>
    <p><img src = "your image url1"></img></p>
    <p><img src = "your image url2"></img></p>
    <p>you can also customize image size, text format according your requirement </p>
    </apaex:page>

    4.Create a new Visual Force tab for this page.
    Since your page has renderAs="PDF" you can export your dashboard as pdf.

    There are also some Apps on Appexchnage you can try:

    Hi Himanshu,

    Try with this

    First remove all single quotes and then split by comma

    String str = '\'First Name\',\'Last Name\',\'Account Name\',\'Email\',\'Title\',\'Description\'';
    System.debug('===str==='+str);
    for(String strFinal: str.replace('\'', '').split(','))
    {
    System.debug('===Final val==='+strFinal);
    }

  • Hi Himanshu,

    You can write a one time batch and execute it using anonymous window in dev console.

    May 25, 2016 at 6:29 am in reply to: Get creation date of metadata

    Hi Nitish,

    You could also use Tooling API Objects to get the Created Date of metadata (not all but some supported ones).

    For example, executing a sample query in query editor tab of developer console will be like this.

    select DeveloperName, CreatedDate from CustomObject where CreatedDate < TODAY

    May 25, 2016 at 6:28 am in reply to: What is the entitlement process in Salesforce?

    Hi Naman,

    Entitlement processes are timelines that include all the steps (or milestones) that your support team must complete to resolve support records like cases or work orders. Each process includes the logic necessary to determine how to enforce the correct service level for your customers

    Entitlement process versioning lets you update existing entitlement processes, even if they’re assigned to active entitlements and cases. This can be useful if the business rules behind your entitlement processes change, for example, or if you need to create multiple versions of the same entitlement process that have only minor differences.

    April 30, 2016 at 2:20 pm in reply to: What are CRUD/FLS issues in Salesforce? How can it be resolved?

    Force.com allows developers and administrators to control access to data at many different levels. You can control access at the object-level, the record-level, and at the field-level.

    Object-level security within the salesforce.com environment is referred to as Create-Read-Update-Delete (CRUD) access. CRUD settings are applied at the profile level and can be used to restrict the actions that users can take on each type of standard and custom object. An example use of CRUD would be to remove the ability for a custom "auditor" profile to update, create, or delete any Account record.

    Field-level security (FLS) is configured similarly to CRUD but allows administrators to define the profiles that can see and write to most fields of standard and custom objects.

    April 30, 2016 at 9:38 am in reply to: Is it possible to fire a worlfow rule when formula field updates?

    Workflow doesn't fire on formula fields, as the field isn't stored in the database and so doesn't get updated. What happens is when you retrieve the record, the value is calculated and the field populated.

    There's a couple of ways around this:

    (1) Don't use a formula field, but use a regular field and a workflow field update that replicates the formula.  That way the field will be stored in the database.

    (2) Replicate the formula in your workflow rule and fire it every time a record is created or edited.

    April 30, 2016 at 9:31 am in reply to: What is the difference between SOQL and SOSL?

    SOQL:
    SOSL:
    SOQL (Salesforce Object Query Language ) retrieves the records from the database by using “SELECT” keyword.
    SOSL(Salesforce Object Search Language) retrieves the records from the database by using the “FIND” keyword.
    By Using SOQL we can know in Which objects or fields the data resides.
    By using SOSL, we don’t know in which object or field the data resides.
    We can retrieve data from single object or from multiple objects that are related to each other.
    We can retrieve multiple objects and field values efficiently when the objects may or may not be related to each other.
    We can Query on only one table.
    We can query on multiple tables.

    Hi Nitish,

    The Blob type only supports UTF-8 encoded strings, you must ensure that the file your uploading complies with this encoding, otherwise you will get this error in cases where you have special characters.

    April 28, 2016 at 1:39 pm in reply to: How to look for a string from a List of strings?

    Hi Gourav,

    You can do it without iterating list  by using regex:

    if (myList.toString().matches(".*\\bA\\b.*"))

    You have to make regex of search string.

    Hi Utsav,

    You can use  toUpperCase() method of string class.First you have to convert your date into string .

    Date testingDate = '24-Apr-2016';
    System.debug('testingDate >>>>>'+testingDate.toString().toUpperCase() +'<<<<<<<testingDate ');
    14:00:03:003 USER_DEBUG [2]|DEBUG|testingDate >>>>>24-APR-2016<<<<<<<testingDate

    April 27, 2016 at 7:01 am in reply to: Sharepoint Salesforce Integration - Getting Error "Moved Permanently"

    Hi Gaurav,

    A status code of 301 tells a client that the resource they asked for has permanently moved to a new location. The response should also include this location. It tells the client to use the new URL the next time it wants to fetch the same resource.

    If the Web server does not return an alternative URL with the 301 response, then either the Web server sofware itself is defective or your Webmaster has not set up the URL redirection correctly.
