How to use includes operator in query filter ?

Hi All,

It has been a long time, there is no post in salesforce4u, I am apologizing for being so late, now I am assuring you, there will be at least one post in each month.

We will start with the simple one, Last week I faced one query exception "expecting left parentheses, found ':'",  Let me share how did I resolve that issue.

The requirement was just filtering records using multi-select picklist values. What exactly will come to a developer mind ??  Use the following operator to accomplish.

1. LIKE - It will be used for normal string/text field filter and it's a partial match.
2. CONTAINS - It is not being used at all in SOQL
3. INCLUDES - This is the best one to use for this requirement.

How to use INCLUDES operator in the SOQL query.

Below is the code snippet to filter Account based on value  ( 'Agriculture','HR' ).

Static Querry
List<Account> accList = [Select id,name,LOB__c from Account where LOB__c INCLUDES ('Agriculture','HR') ];
System.debug('accList ---'+accList[0]);

Dynamic Query

set<String> lobSet = new Set<String>{'Agriculture','HR'};
System.debug('lobSet ---'+lobSet );

String queryFilter = '';
For(String str :lobSet ){
   queryFilter += queryFilter == '' ? '(\''+str+'\'' : ','+ '\''+str+'\'';
}
queryFilter += ')';
System.debug('queryFilter ---'+queryFilter );

String sQuery = 'Select id,name,LOB__c from Account where LOB__c INCLUDES  '+queryFilter;
System.debug('sQuery ---'+sQuery );
List<Account> accListDynamicQueryResults = Database.query(sQuery);
System.debug('accListDynamicQueryResults ---'+accListDynamicQueryResults );

How to Create a Tooltip in Lightning Datatable ?

Imagine you have a datatable displaying a list of Contact records , and one of the columns shows the Account Name . The Account Name is a hyperlink that allows users to navigate to the Account record page. But what if users want to take a quick glance at some key Account fields —like Phone or Address—without navigating to the Account record? In Salesforce Classic, this was achieved using the Mini Page Layout feature from standard page. However, in Lightning Experience, we can implement a similar feature by adding a tooltip to the data table.

Data Preparation We need to retrieve the following fields for each Contact and its associated Account: Contact Fields : Name, Phone, Email Account Fields : Name, Phone, Billing Addre...
