Thank you so much for hosting this!
We are in the process of migrating to Salesforce from another CRM. In inserting/upserting data, we've had instances of special characters not being translated into Salesforce correctly despite having the UTF-8 checkbox checked off when upserting/inserting records. Is there a way to make sure all records get converted properly? We did confirm that this isn't an issue with Salesforce recognizing the characters; we were able to cut and paste directly from our old system into Salesforce and it came in fine. We did use Excel for the data extract for our old system. Any tips to follow?

Hi @klehman, thanks for your question. This is certainly an interesting use case and we'd love to understand more about it! A member of our DemandTools Center of Excellence team will reach out to you to discuss how DemandTools can assist.
For the rest of our community, we'll post more details on this topic in due course to ensure we're all learning!

When matching, I noticed that the original data columns are not in the same order from top of column to bottom. Example: ABC co, LMN Inc and XYZ Corp. These come back in a different order. This forces the copy/paste of all data back to the original sheet vs just a single column or two of the found data points. This is important when doing multiple matches on the same data across different objects. Sorry for the odd question. Just something that I wanted to understand so I can better anticipate the results or change my process to accommodate.

Hi @LFoster Thanks for your question. In prepping to provide you an answer for our live AMA session, I'll need you to provide me with a bit more detail as I'm not fully understanding your question. What module are you referencing? What file are you noticing data in a different order? The audit file? An exported grid? I'm looking forward to hearing back so we can ensure we are providing you with the most accurate response.
