Filtering sharepoint list data using report parameters

We are using xml to pull data from a custom sharepoint list into sql 2005. We have set a parameter that allows the user to filter the data by surname, however when the user tries to filter the list the drop down box brings up a list of every record, so there are duplicate entries for each surname.
Is there a way of filtering this so that there is only one instance of the users surname instead of it showing all the records?
Any help would be much appreciated.

PowerPivot report data refresh error Data source as SharePoint list Data Feed

Hi All,
I am facing a problem on auto refresh, the report data source is SharePoint list Data Feed, I saved it my PC desktop when I set up auto fresh it fails then I moved the SharePoint list data feed "atomsvc" file to A SharePoint Data feed library then connected
to report started a manual refresh it was success, after next schedules it failed.
Error massage:
Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDbConnection interface was being used:
The network path was not found. ;The network path was not found. The network path was not found. .
A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of '82f49f39-45aa-4d61-a15c-90ebbc5656d',

Thank you very much !

If you are using Claims Auth then this is a known limitation. Auto refresh only works under Classic Auth.
I trust that answers your question...

SSDT - Using a SharePoint list data feed as source - "column does not exist in the rowset" error

Hey guys!
So, I want to use a SharePoint list data to create a cube/tabular model, in order to make a complex analysis in PPS using MDX.
To create the tabular model, I'm using the SS Data Tools, and importing a feed from the respective SharePoint list (using the _vti_bin/listdata.svcextension and then selecting the list(s) I wanna to import).
Everything looks fine and smooth, I can select and preview the data in the table import wizard, but in the end, when importing, I always get this error IF the table has one or more row of data (if the table is empty, it's ok...) - the <...>
column doesn't exist in the rowset.
(Curiously, when I have the same procedure in PowerPivot for Excel, I have no problems, everything works fine. The problem is that then I get again errors if I try to create a tabular model on SSDT importing a PowerPivot file).
Here's the error:
Had you already tried this in SSDT? Are you experiencing the same trouble?
Best regards, and thanks in advance!

I noticed something else too.
I can't process Tabular Models on both SSDT and SSMS (2012), but I can process Tabular Models created on PowerPivot.
I tried to create a Data Feed connection on PowerPivot, and it was successfully created. However, if restoring the PowerPivot Tabular DB on my SSAS Tabular instance and processing (full) the model through SSMS, it won't work.
Is there anything different on PowerPivot and SSDT related with Partitioning or connections to the data sources?
Regards,
Jorge

Update:
When trying to Restore a PowerPivot file on my SSAS Tabular Server and full process the model:
The operation failed because the source does not contain the requested column. You can fix this problem by updating the column mappings.
More Details:
The 'X' column does not exist in the rowset.
An error occurred while processing the partition 'X_81dabac5-c250-4a8c-8832-ad7fcedd35cb' in table 'X_81dabac5-c250-4a8c-8832-ad7fcedd35cb'.
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
X is the first column of the source table, no matter if I chose others on the PowerPivot table.
When trying to import data from a data feed using SSDT:
The 'X' column does not exist in the rowset.
An error occurred while processing the partition 'X_ee6be81f-2235-4113-b404-cfcb20647a38' in table 'X_ee6be81f-2235-4113-b404-cfcb20647a38'.
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
X is the first chosen column to import.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to custom action for context menu in "Site Content and Structure" in SharePoint 2010.
In "SiteManager.aspx", SharePoint use MenuItemTemplate class which represent a control that creates an item in a drop-down menu.
For example, to create or delete the ECB menu for a list item in
"Site Content and Structure", we can follow the steps below:
To add the “My Like” menu, we can add the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemLike"
runat="server"
Text="My Like"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickNavigateUrl="https://www.google.com.hk/"
/>
To remove the “Delete” menu, we can comment the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemDelete"
runat="server"
Text="<%$Resources:cms,SmtDelete%>"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickScript="%SmtObjectDeleteScript%"
/>
The result is as below:

MenuItemTemplate.ClientOnClickScript property (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to set "peoples or groups" field with current user "login name" in SharePoint list form using JavaScript.

function SetPickerValue(pickerid, key, dispval) {
var xml = '<Entities Append="False" Error="" Separator=";" MaxHeight="3">';
xml = xml + PreparePickerEntityXml(key, dispval);
xml = xml + '</Entities>';
EntityEditorCallback(xml, pickerid, true);
function PreparePickerEntityXml(key, dispval) {
return '<Entity Key="' + key + '" DisplayText="' + dispval + '" IsResolved="True" Description="' + key + '"><MultipleMatches /></Entity>';
function GetCurrentUserAndInsertIntoUserField() {
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();
this._currentUser = web.get_currentUser();
context.load(this._currentUser);
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onSuccess),
Function.createDelegate(this, this.onFailure));
function onSuccess(sender, args) {

can you please give some samples and suggest any links to start with development.

How do I pull SharePoint 2013 list data using a SQL Query

I have been asked to write a sql query to pull data from a SharePoint 2013 List.it needs to return all the columns
Basically a Select all from the specific SharePoint list Database
I do have the list GUID ID. But not sure which SQL Table or Database to look in for list data.. the site and the list is in our main SharePoint site collection.
the query only needs to be saved in SQL server

I know it isn't support but sometimes you have to share data with other programs....
I'm stuck.. I was able to get this far...
SELECT * FROM dbo.Lists
where tp_Title ='List Name'
how do I pull the columns of the list?
I think I still need the specific list not just the master list dbo....
those two links do not work for SQL server and SharePoint 2013

Hi Hasan,
Per my understanding you want to add mutilple value parameters to filter the data in the sharpoint list datasource report, right?
I have a test based on the step by step details information in below link and all works fine which will make the multiple value parameter works fine:
https://audministrator.wordpress.com/2014/02/17/sharepoint-list-add-distinct-parameter-value/
Add the custom code from above link
Parem1 is the parameter which get values from a query and with all the values(duplicate value),please setting as below:
Param2 is the parameter which will display in the report have done the deduplication, check the "Allow Multiple values" and then Specify the available value and default value using below expression:
=Split(Code.RemoveDups(JOIN(Parameters!Param1.Value, ",")), ",")
Add the filter and preview.

Hi Vision2040,
Based on my research, it’s not supported that making Unpivot data from a sharepoint list currently.In general, we can use PIVOT and UNPIVOT relational operators to change a table-valued expression into another table.

Export SharePoint List data to SQL Server 2005 Database

Hello Everybody,
I am presently working on a project which handles much larger amount of data. The architecture of the application demands extracting records from the SharePoint (WSS 3.0) and insert into a SQL Server 2005 database. I need to run this job as daily basis. I am thinking of using SSIS (SQL Server Integration Service) for this purpose. But I am new to this technology and I'd like to know how effective this idea to do the job.
I'd also like to know more about SharePoint's ability to handle huge amount of data when it comes to Reporting.
thank you,
Arun

For Reporting Services, There are web parts available which can be used to render a reporting service report in sharepoint. I have also used a reporting service report directly using Page Viewer Web Part so displaying a reporting services report in sharepoint is very simple task. Important part is to transfer data from Sharepoint list to SQL 2005. so if you want to use SSIS package and there is only one or two list then approach is to write a simple query based on your list id and extract information from sharepoint content database from UserData table, since it is a read only operation so it can work this way. Another way to do it is to write a Sharepoint Timer JOB which runs on a defined schedule and will read your list values and will transfer to your SQL 2005, Another way could be to write your custom web service and write code to transfer from list to SQL 2005. Custom code you will write inside timer or web service will be same code so it is just a different shell you can say. in case of web service, use it in some other application as a regular web service.
Let me know if you need further help, You did not mention how many list you have?

Excel Services with SharePoint List Data in SharePoint 2013 - Chart is not refreshing automatically

Hi Everyone,
This is My req: I m going to display pie chart and Bar chart in share point 2013.
Steps I have follwed:
1. Export the list to excel.
2.Using the Power Pivot table I have done the chart.
3. Uploaded into document Library.
4. Added into the web part.
Chart are displaying. But When ever user added the data into the list chart is refreshing.
Is there any option to refresh the data in chart? Waiting for valuable replies.
Regards, Manoj Prabakar

SharePoint lists as data sources in Excel Services is not supported.That's the reason refreshing is not working. There are some work around you can use -
Export as Data Feed - Export your SharePoint list as Data Feed , use this data feed to a PowerPivot for Excel workbook and publish this PowerPivot using Excel Services.
User-defined functions - write UDF in C# and extend the Excel Services functionality to work with SharePoint lists.

Web Services API -
The Web Services API can be used to push data from a database and then refresh the data in a SharePoint Server list by using Excel Services.
JavaScript Object Model - The JavaScript Object Model for Excel Services in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 provides many solutions for Excel Services.

Unable to connect to SharePoint list data from PowerPivot in Excel

Hi,
I have the PowerPivot excel add-in installed and I can connect successfully to SQL data. I have two SharePoint farms - Farm 1 and Farm 2.
I am able to connect PowerPivot to SharePoint lists in multiple web applications in Farm 1 by using the ListData.svc.
e.g. https://farm1/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/Tasks
In Farm 2 I am unable to connect to SharePoint data. I have tried multiple web applications on Farm 2 and can't connect. I receive the following error. I am able to browse to the address in Internet Explorer and see a feed.
Has anyone else had this error?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Hi Millard1,
From your descripton, it seems you want to use SharePoint list as a data souce. If so, you should export the SharePoint as data feed in your SharePoint site, and then create a new PowerPivot table that contains the list. Here are some articles for your reference,
please see:
