Hello team,
There is a field called "Annual Revenue" in our Eloqua instance. It is a text field but mostly contains numeric values synched over from the same field in SFDC. The SFDC field is numeric.
I'm trying to write a data standardisation program that uses the value in "Annual Revenue" to update another field, "Annual Revenue Standardised", with the appropriate band value e.g. $0 - $5M, $5 - $10M, $10 - $20M ...
I created an update rule that looks for values:
- between 1 and 5000000 in "Annual Revenue" and updates the "Annual Revenue Standardised" field $0 - $5M
- between 5000001 and 100000 in "Annual Revenue" and updates the "Annual Revenue Standardised" field $5 - $10M
- and so on...
However when I test this I don't get the correct value in "Annual Revenue Standardised". I've also tried using filters to pull contacts with "Annual Revenue" values between 0 and 5000000 but I get all sorts of values returned outside this range.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? Is it because the "Annual Revenue" field data type is text rather than numeric? I guess I could create a new numeric field for "Annual Revenue", write existing values to this field and change the SFDC integration but would like to avoid this if possible. If anyone has any bright ideas I'd love to hear them.
Thanks,
James
