ReplyDeleteHi There,
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed great! But I think perhaps you are generally referring Salesforce Interview Questions With Answers which is getting unsustainable.
I have an apex datatable returning some User fields from a list in my apex class. I would like to include a column "This Month's Sales" which would return the total $ of opps closed won this month. I can run the SOQL in my class but I'm not sure how to get the correct result per user into the table, i.e. how to put it into the correct row and column in my table. Can I attach this $amount to each user without creating a custom field?
I am so grateful for your blog. Really looking forward to read more.
Kind Regards,
Preethi.
@Preethi Sharm, I would suggest to use wrapper class, hold user and other aggregation field which you want and use list of wrapper class on visualforce page. I would suggest to post such questions on salesforce.stackexchange.com. It will get quickly solved.
