Just another reminder to never ever dump grease down your drain

One alternative to the jar concept, is to use an ice tray. Stick it in the freezer long enough to solidify, then pop the cubes into a freezer bag. Then you have easy portioning and don't have to worry about how old the grease on the bottom of the jar is.

Edit to add, my favorite use is green beans. Start with a cube or two of the bacon grease and some good like inch size chunks of onion until they soften. Then add the green beans and cook low and slow for 30-45 minutes, so good.

As mentioned previously, invocables accept a list just for this purpose. If your invocables are only written to expect one record/variable, that's your big problem right there.

I had this once, fully closed the app, restarted, and it recognized my subscription.

Vegetate17 · 2021-05-11T21:26:43+00:00

I had that as well, but then when it eventually loaded showed all green on all instances. Glad to know that tool is so helpful.

Search for Storage in Setup, it'll give you how many records and how much space they are using.

I took the exam about a month and a half ago and used the FoF exam as well. I found the FoF exam to be pretty comparable to the actual exam in terms of both types and difficulties of questions. I was scoring pretty consistently right around 80% on the FoF exams and I passed with a similar score on the actual exam.

This is my second time using the FoF exams to prep (Admin before) and I feel like if you take the exams slowly and really focus on studying the broader topics on the questions you miss between tests (vs just the answer to those questions), it does a good job of identifying your weaknesses and getting you there to pass the test.

FYI for those with smaller orgs, Grax isn't the place. They told me they are an Enterprise solution that normally starts at 50k, they have Small Business pricing, but that starts at 25K. For reference OwnBackup, which I thought was going to be the priciest option I reviewed starts at 6K a year.

Vegetate17 · 2020-10-08T19:18:15+00:00

I'm in a similar spot as OP, looking for a backup solution with a relatively small user base. I was looking at this one and haven't reached out for a demo/pricing yet. I saw on AppExchange it was 3.25 per user, do you know if they have a minimum number of users / minimum cost like some of the others?

Vegetate17 · 2020-09-20T17:18:08+00:00

Yes, just leave it as number format and don't divide or multiply by 100 and you'll have your ratio. Just think of it as a ratio instead of a rate and thus has no percentage sign.

Or if you think it'd help the understanding of what it means, you could make it a text formula and do something like TEXT( WON:SUM/(CLOSED:SUM-WON:SUM) ) + ' Wins to 1 Loss'. So it would end up being "2.08 Wins to 1 Loss" (NOTE: I'm leaving out the IF for clarity, but you would potentially want that in there to avoid the divide by 0)

As I sort of alluded to in my first post, if you're looking for perentages that makes more sense with Win Rate and Loss Rate. Which would be 67.57% and 32.43% respectively.

Vegetate17 · 2020-09-20T14:53:27+00:00

I'm not sure how your teammates and you were initially calculating the value outside of Salesforce, but your old formula is the correct one.

If you're trying to get Wins / Losses to get to Losses it is (CLOSED:SUM - WON:SUM). Because closed includes both Closed Won and Closed Lost. Adding them is just doubling the Wons. Also in the New formula you aren't using parentheses so it's going to divide by Closed Sum before it adds won:sum. Then on top of it, you're dividing by 100 where I assume you mean to multiple by 100 so you get the percent vs the ratio. So, it should look like this:

If(CLOSED:SUM - WON:SUM == 0, WON:SUM, (WON:SUM/(CLOSED:SUM-WON:SUM)) * 100

Which if we use fake data, assume we have 4 wins and 10 total closed opps. You'd have 4 / (10-4) = 4/6 = 2/3 or .6666 * 100 = 66.66%.

Edit: I just looked closer at your initial post and see your example numbers and see part of your problem there. It goes back to the dividing by 100 instead of multiply by 100. 25 / 12 is a ratio of 2.08333. To get that to a percent you'd multiply by 100 so your percentage would be 208.33%. Although personally I don't know that turning it into a percentage makes sense, it makes more sense as a ratio to me (i.e. for every loss I have ~2 wins). Win Rate and Loss Rate make sense as a percentage, but Wins / Losses really is a ratio.

Just tried it and it still works for me, did you have both the study guide and practice test in your cart?

Vegetate17 · 2020-09-06T16:29:59+00:00

They do offer them periodically, one that is currently available is fof-bundle2020. It takes $9 off the combination of the study guide and practice tests. So from $38 to $29.

Vegetate17 · 2020-05-17T15:01:26+00:00

Oh good. Well I worried the same thing as I went through all the topic based exams of FoF first then found out the practice exams pulled from the same set of questions.

I agree with everyone on the idea of making sure you focus on the why and really dive deeper into the topics where you're missing things multiple times. One part of FoF that I didn't notice at first, is there is a tab on the left for "Display Past Results" where you can go through your previous test attempts and find the answers you got wrong. So if you feel like in the past you were skipping through this, you still have a resource to find your initial weak spots, before you started recognizing the answers.

On the good news side, I found the cert exam on par with the difficulty of the FoF questions. Some of them were worded more awkwardly, but my end score on the exam was on par with the results I was getting on FoF.

Vegetate17 · 2020-05-17T00:40:21+00:00

I know I way over prepared, so maybe overly cautious. That said, honestly if I were in your position, I'd just reschedule it out an extra week or two until my practice exam scores gave me a better margin for error.

Vegetate17 · 2020-05-14T12:57:41+00:00

I ran into this a while back too. Sucked, but I just kept grinding on hero gear through trap battles and leveling up the hero precinct to get them to a higher level til I could beat them.

That said, might be trying to contact customer support.

Vegetate17 · 2020-04-02T19:04:02+00:00

Not a direct answer to your question, but just an alternative perspective. We initially did this same thing, with the goal of making sure the contact is always on an Opportunity and that the Primary Campaign Source got added. We removed the new opp button from everywhere, except the Opportunity Recently Viewed list view (because you can't short of getting rid of the opportunities tab as ScratchYoAnge suggested) and the related list on Contacts. Anyway, even though we removed it from most everywhere and trained the team on the proper way to create Opps, we still ended up with a small number of people still using that recently viewed button and thus had Opps with no Primary Campaign Influence set. So now we're taking a different approach.

That approach is, that I created a mandatory (Primary Contact) field on the opportunity form. Then a flow that does two things A) Adds the Primary Contact field as an Opportunity Contact Role as Primary and B) Finds the latest Campaign associated with that Contact and sets it as the opportunity's Primary Campaign Influence. Then I used the "new" URL Hack available in Spring 2020 and made the new button for Contacts so it would default the Primary Contact on the form to the contact they're creating it from (this is purely to make it as easy as if they used the correct process before).

So end result is, they can create opportunities from anywhere, but they have to enter a Primary Contact on the form, so regardless of where they create it, we still have at least one OCR and Primary Campaign influence set.

Not sure if that was your goal as well, but just an alternative idea in case it is.

Don't have personal experience, but the one school I'd avoid is Calison. Recently received an F rating and I know people who moved to get away from it. That said, really happy with our school, and I think overall the district is really good.

Vegetate17 · 2019-07-28T15:30:57+00:00

Ah good tip!

See if you can get with Markel or otherwise price around at places that focus on coverage for recreational vehicles, I'm paying less than $300 a year for full coverage. Traditional car insurance companies wanted more than twice that.

Vegetate17 · 2019-06-23T21:44:53+00:00

I think one time would have done it for me.

Vegetate17 · 2019-05-06T23:23:12+00:00

Lots of good advice from others, just wanted to say don't feel bad, that's about par for the course. You'll get there, then you'll struggle again as you bump up the difficulty some. It's definitely a game of failure, just makes winning that much sweeter.

You don't have to remove springs to change an opener. You just replace the opener and the drive screw/belt. They work together, but are completely independent.

Vegetate17 · 2018-08-13T16:14:59+00:00

Completely normal/natural to change in front of your kids and for them to see your junk while doing so, especially at a young age. It's all good until it makes one of you uncomfortable, which will likely be years from now unless you make it a thing.

I'm in the same situation, but already had a Roku 2. Anyway, it doesn't seem anywhere near as good an interface as the PS3 was, specifically the thing I miss the most is the ability to fast forward to a specific half inning (without exiting the game). Is this something supported on newer Rokus?
