The example is running with the contact object. If you don't have any contacts , create a few one

Then launch the following script to add some Department to those contacts:

List departments = new List{'Finance','Operations','Production','Administration','Other'}; List conts = [select Id from Contact]; for(Contact cont : conts){ cont.Department=departments[Integer.valueof((Math.random() * 4))]; } update conts;
