If you ever want to print or extract Controlling and Dependent picklist values, you can use the solution highlighted by Kenny Jacobson:

Salesforce Admin Certification(WI16)
04 Friday Dec 2015
Posted in Salesforce admin exam, Uncategorized
I cleared my Salesforce Admin certification(WI16) last week and here are few tips from my side to prepare for the exam:
- I used salesforce-qa document, which I got it when I googled to find out the study materials for the exam and it covers the topics given in the study guide (except SalesforceA and Salesforce1, interestingly I didn’t get any questions from those topics).
- Then, I started going through the questions given in the site from Part 1-Part 10 and there are about 1000 questions. I didn’t get majority of these questions on my exam though from these dumps, it has helped me to understand the nature of questions that can be asked for the exam. I have got around 20 questions from these dumps.
- After finishing the exam, I found out this Admin-201-Certified-Administrator-notes which is gud too.
Here is the study guide and let me know if you have any questions about the exam.
P.S: Recently, I have gone through this post http://www.merivisblog.com/study-salesforce-admin-exam/ and thought of sharing it, as it could be useful to pass the exam.
There is a nice article by Ben on how to pass your Salesforce certification and here is the link
Tip#14: Updating blank values using Data loader
17 Saturday Oct 2015
Posted in Salesforce administration, Salesforce Migration
Recently, I had a requirement to update a field with NULL value using APEX Data loader.
There is a setting in Data Loader that allows for updating a field with a NULL value and it’s as follows:
1. Launch Data Loader
2. Select Settings
3. Check box – Insert Null Values.
Then, follow the below procedure:
1. Export the data – include id and Field that should be changed to blank.
2. Delete data contained in column that should be returned as NULL (no values).
3. Save new .csv with new name to avoid overwriting Data Export in Step 1 of this sample process.
4. Run Data Loader Update using new file with Blank values.
Sharing is fun!
Incorrect User Name/Password error
07 Tuesday Apr 2015
Issue:
Last week, I faced a strange issue when I worked for one of the client and 2 of their users were not able to login into Salesforce. They were getting incorrect user id/password error though they tried with the correct user name and password.
Analysis:
Raised Reset Password request and they changed the password by following the instructions given in the email sent by Salesforce. Then, they logged out and tried log back in with the correct user name & password, system didn’t allow them to get into it. It has thrown incorrect user id/password error.
Strangely, the login history didn’t show anything for userid/password error (the login attempts user tried after the password reset).
I tried logging into Salesforce using their logins in my machine and I have got the same user id/password error even with the correct credentials.
Solution:
I raised a case with Salesforce and they have shared the following Knowledge article:
The issue in our case was that the user name created for those 2 users in question were having trailing spaces at the end of the username. After we corrected the username and set the new password, they were able to login into Salesforce successfully.
Your comments are most welcome.
