Optimizing MySQL Updates: A Better Approach Than Manual Iteration
Understanding the Problem and Current Solution Introduction The problem presented is about updating confirmation status for rows in a MySQL table based on certain conditions. The current solution involves using a PHP script that iterates through each row of the table, checks if the confirmation code has expired, and updates the corresponding record in the table. However, there seems to be an issue with this approach. When there are multiple rows with the same id_recharge_winner and only one row has an expiration date older than 1 day, all the other rows will also have their confirmation status updated to “expired”.

Conducting an Inner Join Between Two Sheets: Array Formula vs Power Query
It seems like you’re trying to perform an inner join between two datasets based on a common column. However, since you mentioned that VLOOKUP assumes equality between column values and you need to find the nearest value from one list to another, I’d suggest using an array formula or Power Query. Assuming your data is in two separate sheets (e.g., Sheet1 and Sheet2) with a common column (e.g., Column A), here’s how you can do it:
