Hi, Is it good to join Salesforce for Technical Consultant role (YOE - 3.2 years) ?
I checked with few of my connections, they saying I will be mostly allocated to Salesforce industries (Vlocity) project. Please suggest about the team structure and work life balance for this role.
and also in future, is it possible to apply for IJP in Salesforce ?
Please provide your thoughts on this.
Thanks

Nah, index match my friend
Xlookup is amazing, only recently learnt it, totally replaced Vlookup as you don’t need the columns in a certain order, or need to count them.
Xlookup is not at all bad to learn either
XLookup is way better than VLookup, I would recommend reading some online guides and watching YouTube videos
It’s easy and kinda fun 🙂

Google is your friend.
=vlookup(Thing, Dataset, Column, Exact Match?)
Dear Excel. Please find this Thing, within that Dataset. Find me only Exact Matches (in the alternate, matches that are close enough). Then return the value (2) columns to the right (i.e. in the third column).
=vlookup(A1, Table1, 3, True)
Make sure the Thing is always to be found in the leftmost column.
Please start using X-lookup instead. It has more functions and is faster than v-lookup
This video can be really helpful

I follow this profile on Instagram for quick tips as I’m scrolling. Some of the stuff is basic or far fetched scenarios that would probably never happen lol but this video is a good one for vlookup:

Hi! You can have a look at the Microsoft tutorial (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vlookup-function-0bbc8083-26fe-4963-8ab8-93a18ad188a1). I think it's well written to for a know how.
Index match is less likely to break if someone takes your file and sorts it or reorders any columns. If not, xLookup next best, still better than vLookup
Are there any good websites to learn/practice and test your knowledge on excel?
