I don't know about you, but it certainly seems to me that March is keeping up with its reputation of coming in like a lion.

In the mix of everything March has brought to my doorstep, I've just landed in Portland, home of a trifecta of back-to-back-to-back Salesforce and non-profit community events. Tomorrow, I'll kick-off the 2019 NPSP Day tour, bringing together community members for the fourth year in a row in Portland!

Meanwhile, there's a lot of great content that's been produced by the community during the past week. So while you ponder how March will exit this year, grab the perfect knowledge pairing beverage of your choosing, and pull up a stool to the PUB Crawl.

Don't forget, you can have the goodness of the PUB Crawl delivered into your inbox each Monday morning by subscribing today!

   If you're working with customizable roll-ups, and you have a related lookup value that makes it so the record no longer meets the criteria of the rollup, should we null out that lookup value?
