I have ~20,000 Accounts with a unique Industry ID, known as an ACN number. This ACN field currently is a "Single Line of Text" Type.
From time to time I will get request from my internal Customers to retrieve certain data that is contained on a set of 500 ACN # (for example). The only two ways I can get that information is to:
1.) Export the entire set of ACN # and do a series of VLOOKUPS in Excel. Which is ok, but not if I wanted to update some of the Accounts. It’s just a number of additional steps that I do not need to take.
Or the other option…
2.) Create an Advance Find that states…500 times.
ACN Equals 12345678
ACN Equals 98765432
ACN Equals 74125896
In reading through some postings if I were to change the Type from a Text field to an Option Set I could select the ACN # but the trouble with that is I still have to plow through 20,000 records to locate the 500 I am looking for.
Is there no way in which I can concatenate the 500 ACN #s, Copy and then Paste them into the ACN # field to return only those 500 within the Advance Find.
