text formula to compare the name field to the records name

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To compare two free form text fields in NetSuite, you can use a formula in your saved search. The formula would look something like this:

CASE WHEN {field1} = {field2} THEN 'Yes' ELSE 'No' END

This formula will compare the values of

field1

and

field2

. If the values are the same, it will return 'Yes'. If the values are different, it will return 'No'. If you want to compare the length of two fields, you can use the following formula:

LENGTH({field1}) - LENGTH({field2})

This formula will return the difference in length between

field1

and

field2

. If you need to check if a text area contains the name of the current user, you can use a formula like this:

CASE WHEN {text_area_internal_id} LIKE '%{user’s_name}%' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END

In this formula, replace

user’s_name

with the appropriate field or value that represents the current user's name. You can use the 'current user' join to access the current user's name. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
