Some things are just a natural fit—they complement each other. Like campfires and s’mores, or bagels and cream cheese, Rollup Helper and Lookup Helper are a perfect combination. In this blog post, we’re exploring ways these two great apps can be used together.

Using Lookup Helper and Rollup Helper, you can accomplish things like grouping records into time period buckets, so that you can easily build dashboards or rollups by time period. There are so many possibilities—it’s like having a report or dashboard that’s relevant to the record you are viewing, follow you around in Salesforce. 

You can also park your accounts, contacts, and opportunities under a zip code, district, or other geographic criteria. You can even display the count of accounts, contacts, or the sum of total closed won sales amount for each zip code to track forecasts/potentials and actuals/history in each zip code.
