I have a salesforce query that extracting users time report
SELECT ID,Logged_Date__c ,CreatedBy.Email, CreatedBy.id, CreatedBy.Name, Time_Spent_Hours__c, Activity__c, CaseId__r.CaseNumber, CaseId__r.Account.id, CaseId__r.Account.Name , Utilized__c
FROM Time_and_Placement_Tracking__c
The Activity__c returns with the activity text.
I was trying to use Activity__c.Id, Activity__r etc. but all returns with error.
Is there a way to get the Activity id?
Verify these
You need to get to the object definition and see the field info. You can use workbench or any other API tool if you are familiar with and get the object and field def's.
Check the data type for Activity__c field. It should be a lookup/master relation. If it is not, find the field which ties to Activity object.
Open the field to get the API name and use that in the query with a '__r' extension.

I am trying to fetch a list of users from the Microsoft Graph API.
A lot of users don't have an email address, those users are systems users that I don't need.
So my query looks like /users?$filter=mail ne null
For another overview I need to show the manager of each user so I tried to add &$expand=manager. But doing so will result in an Unsupported Query.
When I remove the filter parameter it does work.
How can I only fetch relevant users and their managers in a single query?
Optionally I'd like to only receive the ID from managers, as an optimization. I only need the ID because I already fetched all users and their data. /users?$expand=manager($select=id) is what I was trying but I get the error Invalid $select properties.
If you want to use $select inside $expand to select the individual manager's properties, the $levels parameter is required, such as expand=manager($levels=max;$select=id). For more details, please refer to here
For example
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$expand=manager($levels=max;$select=id)
Update
If we want to use Not equals (ne) operators on the $filter query parameter, we must set the ConsistencyLevel header set to eventual and, with the exception of $search, use the $count query parameter (either as a URL segment or $count=true query string). For more details, please refer to here
For example
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$filter=mail ne null&&$expand=manager($levels=1;$select=id)&$count=true
I am new to SalesForce and SOQL so sorry in advance if the question has already been answered, if yes link it to me.
The aim of my SOQL query is to get all the contract information to generate PDF.
There are tables: Contract, Contact and Account
In the Contract table there are fields: Maitre_d_apprentissage__c, MaitreApprentissageNom1__c, MaitreApprentissagePrenom1__c, Apprenti__c, ApprentiNom__c, ApprentiPrenom__c
There are relationships:
Apprenti__r which link Apprenti__c to Contact table
Maitre_d_apprentissage__r which link Maitre_d_apprentissage__c to Contact table
When I looked at table, I saw that MaitreApprentissageNom1__c was equal to Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.LastName and ApprentiNom__c was equal to Apprenti__r.LastName. So I conclude I could get other information of Apprenti__c and Maitre_d_apprentissage__c from the Contact Table following the same principle. So I added to my query Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c and Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.Date_de_naissance__c to get the Date_de_naissance__c field which is in my Contact table.
I see in the results that the query succeeds in getting the information but some values have changed column (lines 6 and 7), you can see the difference between query 1 and query 2. In the first query I only return the Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c and in the second query I return Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c and Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.Date_de_naissance__c
Query 1:
SELECT ApprentiNom__c, ApprentiPrenom__c, Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c, MaitreApprentissageNom1__c, MaitreApprentissagePrenom1__c
FROM Contract
Result 1:
Query 2:
SELECT ApprentiNom__c, ApprentiPrenom__c, Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c, MaitreApprentissageNom1__c, MaitreApprentissagePrenom1__c, Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.Date_de_naissance__c
FROM Contract
Result 2:
I would like to understand from where is coming the problem and how to correct it. Thank you in advance.
It's possible that it's just your query editor displaying stuff incorrectly. You can see it got confused with 2 lookups to Contact table, why there's even a column header "Contact.Date_de_naissance__c" (and why it's there twice). And they aren't shown in the order you requested...
What editor you're using? You could try built-in "Developer Console" or http://workbench.developerforce.com/
What do you need it for? In Apex order of fields won't matter, in REST API query the values fetched via lookup will come as JSON sub-objects so there will always be a way to figure out exactly which value is coming from which relation.
In Dev Console try to run this and check if it solves your fears:
System.debug(JSON.serializePretty([SELECT
ApprentiNom__c, ApprentiPrenom__c,
Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c,
MaitreApprentissageNom1__c, MaitreApprentissagePrenom1__c,
Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.Date_de_naissance__c
FROM Contract]));
Then add Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.LastName to query and see what changed, what stayed as is.
I'm trying to write a SOQL query that will grab one of the Contact object's standard fields "Contact Owner", which is a Lookup(User) field:
The field name is "Owner", but when I try to query
SELECT Contact.Owner FROM Contact
I get an error stating that there is no such field.
SELECT Contact.Owner, Contact.Name, Contact.Rule_Class__c
^
ERROR at Row:1:Column:8
No such column 'Owner' on entity 'Contact'. If you are attempting to use a custom field, be sure to append the '__c' after the custom field name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.
How can I grab this field?
Thank you!
That's a normal behavior for Relation fields
You can imagine OwnerId as an alias
SELECT LastModifiedBy.Name, LastModifiedBy.Id, LastModifiedById FROM Contact
SELECT CreatedBy.Name, CreatedBy.Id, CreatedById FROM Contact
Also use Workbench or Developer console or Eclipse to construct your queries instead of using salesforce setup interface
Workbench
Developer Console
This is strange:
"Select c.Owner.Email, c.Owner.Name, c.Owner.Username, c.OwnerId From
Contact c Run the above in Developer Console--Query Editor"
https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/#!/feedtype=SINGLE_QUESTION_DETAIL&dc=General_Development&criteria=OPENQUESTIONS&id=906F0000000AvMHIA0
I wonder why Contact.Owner comes up as non-existent but Contact.Owner.Name is?
I am trying to insert data in salesforce using upsert, for one field i am using the ExternalId field , i have tried many combinations but it fails...I get the error : the syntax should be object:externalId/lookupField
Any idea what is the exact syntax? Keep in mind i am inserting in table Account and the externalId field refers to Account also
object:externalId/lookupField is not very clear is it. There's a comment hidden away in the Pentaho code:
// We use an external key
// the structure should be like this :
// object:externalId/lookupField
// where
// object is the type of the object
// externalId is the name of the field in the object to resolve the value
// lookupField is the name of the field in the current object to update (is the "__r" version)
Lets say you're populating a Salesforce Object Foo__c, which has a Lookup field to Contact called Contact__c. The 'relationship name' for that lookup field would then be Contact__r.
On Contact lets say you have added an External ID called Legacy_Id__c and thats what you want to use when populating Foo__c.
What Pentaho would want in the Module Field column would then be:
Contact:Legacy_Id__c\Contact__r
The bit to the left of the slash is telling Pentaho which object/external id to map to. To the right of the slash, its telling Pentaho which lookup/relationship on Foo__c to fill in.
I am using the bulk upload code described at http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_asynch/.
The only difference is that i am uploading a custom object type. I can access Employee_c. But now i get a different error
stateMessage='InvalidBatch : Field name not found : First Name'
First Name is the first column in the csv.
While debugging i can see that the temp csv is being created correctly. However i get this error when checkResults executes. The code is exactly the same as in the sample java code for bulk api using REST.
I am using the free developer version of salesforce.
I created a new permission set where i have given following permissions on custom object employee:
Read/create/edit/delete/view all/modify all.
All fields are given edit permissions.
The permission set is associated with salesforce user license.
The programmatic login is with a user associated with System administrator profile , which has sales force user license.
But still the error persists!
Any pointers would be appreciated
Thanks

Try "FirstName" without the space.
You can view the API name of any field in Setup > App Setup > Objects > (Select Your Object) > (Select Your Field). Make sure all the fields you are querying have the correct API names.
