Is there a way to Search (List search) for more then one field text from a column for Bulk uploading?

I've been trying to find more information on this and I apologies if this has already been answered. I just don't know the correct way to ask this. We have a SharePoint List at the company that we have people input information into different columns. The
problem is most of those information are very repetitive. Is there a way for me to search more then one field text in the column and just input that same information in?
ex:
Column 1
Column 2
Date:
883851
MidWest
User input 
8831518
MidWest
User input
On the search field in the SharePoint List, I would need to search for 883851, 8831518 etc,  would view those requested numbers, then I would click edit and change dates to those rows. Does that make sense? I'm sorry I'm fairly new at sharepoint.

I think what you're asking is about having repetitive options in a list, show up easily for new items being created.
This can be done by setting the columns that contain repetitive information to Choice fields.  In the configuration of the Choice field, check the box for "Allow custom values".  Now as users are entering data into the list, the dropdown of options
for a given field grows and users can quickly see and select previously entered and thus repetitive values for the given fields.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

  • HT1040 Is there a way to place an order with more than one item at a time? For example I am going to make a few books and have them all shipped to me.  Do I have to order and pay shipping for each one individually?

    Is there a way to place an order with more than one item at a time?  for example I am making a few books and having them all shipped to me.  Do I have to order each one separately and pay shipping each time?

    You have to order each book separately, if the books are different. Only multiple copies of the same book can be ordered in the same order, see here

  • Is there a way I can sync and keep more than one iPhoto library from my MacBook on my iPad2?

    Hi, I have several iphoto Libraries on my MacBook - as it's a good way to organize all my photos and keeps them in manageable form - but I would like to keep them on my ipad2 aswell.  In the normal way I can only sync one Library at a time - unless someone knows better!
    Many thanks and hope you can help.

    found solution...i've now got iphone sync'd between new IMac and macbook pro (meaning that I can now add songs, video, from both computers...i don't know about all that sync of contacts and mail, etc...not concerned with that at moment..)
    follow solutions here:....http://www.iskysoft.com/topic-iphone/sync-iphone-with-multiple-macs.html. NOTE: as mentioned in my previous post, I was unable to change my Library Persistent ID, as it would always revert back to the original....however, in the link above, one user, made suggestion to corrupot Itunes Library.itl, and then it will repair itself with Library Persistent ID (of old/original machine), and now it works..!

  • Is there a way to put an item under more than one calendar at the same time?

    I use the calendar to keep track of not only my schedule, but my entire family's. For years I had a calendar labeled 'kids.' Now as they're getting older it would be easier to have an individual calendar for each child. Easier for me to track where they are and they could have they're own calendar on their iphone or iphone touch since we all share one cloud account. However, frequently more than one is at the same activity. The calendar program will only allow me to select one calendar to place an event under; as soon as I select another, it deselects the first. Is there a way to place an event under more than one calendar?
    (Since I'm still the one driving that needs to know date, time, place, etc type details I don't want them adding it to their own schedule - maybe -  on their devides and synching through cloud)

    You can create many calendars. Here's the tip:
    Example: you have 1 son and 1 daughter.
    In iCloud ( https://www.icloud.com )
    Create 1 calendar called Son ( Choose a color to tell them apart )
    Create 1 calendar called Daughter ( Ditto )
    Create 1 calendar called Kids
    Since you are the creator, you get to see all calendars combined.
    Send invitations to each of them
    Son gets Son and Kids calendars
    Daughter gets Daughter and Kids calendars
    So if there an event for Son, just put in that calendar
    If it's for both then enter it in the Kids calendar
    Likewise for daughter.

  • Is there a way to have iDVD have accommodate more than one iMovie project on one DVD?

    Looking for a way to have more than one iMovie Project burned to one DVD through iDVD.  Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    YES - But do not use "Share to iDVD" in any version of iMovie as this will degrade the final result - BUT
    Share to Media Browser - and as Large (Not HD or other resolutions as this too degrades the final DVD)
    Now when Your movies are Shared. Close iMovie
    Open iDVD and import movies from Media button/Movies (down to the right)
    And You can add up to 99 movies - or 60/120 minutes (reg encoding quality chosen)
    Time is = Movie duration + MENU DURATION (can take 15 minutes or more if elaborated)
    (I keep it as simple possibly)

    Thanks

    Hi
    Thanks for your quick response and I apologise I will never put urgent on my posting again.
    C:\>java match "-t|" -4 -f Harvey -10 -f Atlanta callbook.txt
    This example lists records for Atlanta with first name Harvey.
    I am able to get one search criteria but when I have 2 as above (Harvey and Atlanta) I get lost I do not know how to get these arguments from the commandline and still do a search correctly. My code at the moment is doint a hard coded search so I was trying to extract the arguments that's where I got stuck.
    The main aim of my app is to search a delimited file for a search criteria passed through a command prompt.
    This is what I have done so far.
    import  java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class assess1
        static public void main(String args[])
            int[] totals = new int[10];
            try
                BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[0]) );
                try
                    String line;
              String StrSearch = "HARVEY";
              int counter = 0;
                    boolean foundIt = false;
                    while((line = inFile.readLine()) != null)
                     // search for the string
                      String[] values = line.split("\\|");
                       for (String str : values) {
                   if (str.equals("HARVEY")) {
                               System.out.println(line);
                             System.out.println();
                        counter++;
              if (counter == 0) {
                   System.out.println("String not found");
              inFile.close();
                catch(IOException e)
                    System.err.println("IO exception");
                    System.exit(1);
                catch(NumberFormatException e)
                    System.err.println("Value " + e.getMessage() + "not numeric");
            catch(FileNotFoundException e)
                System.err.println( "Couldn't open " + e.getMessage() );
                System.exit(1);
    }

  • Is there a way to erase contents in cells more than one, without deleting the formatted background?

    When using Numbers on iPad (Numbers '09, v2.3 on iPad, iOS v6.1.3), I want to erase contents in an area with more than 1 cell, e.g. 10 cells, without erasing/deleting the formatted background colour.
    Using a right click on cells using Numbers on a Mac (Mac, OS X v10.8.4) you can differentiate between "delete content of cell" (where the background is maintained) and "delete all" (where both the content AND the background is deleted).
    Please, I need help.
    Kindly,
    Henning154

    Just select the cells you want to delete and hit the delete button.
    That works on my machine (Macbook Pro).
    The background remains unchanged.

  • Is there a way to save a search

    So, I search for songs that contain Rain in the title and I get acceptable results, but the results disappear if I preview one of the selections. Where did the search results go?! Must I type in "Rain" again, and again, and yet again?
    Is there a way to save the search, tear off the search window or am I doing something wrong?

    Try to put blanks around the word rain, like this:
    Only, this way you will miss "Rain" at the beginning of the title.

    Is there a way to get a search protocol of the "Find my iPhone" search app and icloud ? And where can i find a protocol of the chat with a apple support worker

    Thanks for the reply however this does not help.  When I check the cloud it shows that I have only 20 photos.  In reality I had a lot more than that.  All the photos on the cloud are those that I have taken since I was at the Apple store.  When I check cloud storage usage on my phone it says that I have 5.1 GB of photos.  This is a lot more than the 20 that I can see.  I am not sure what the Apple employee did to my phone.
    Still looking for answers.  It is really too bad that I can not talk to an Apple person to get help since they messed up my phone.

  • Is there any way to save all of my imessages with a person on to my computer for free?

    This is not a feature of iOS.
    Search google for other options, if they exist.

    hi,
    Before archiving you have to put the Deletion flag for the object(May be for PO, MMR etc as per your req.)...
    After that the you use the archiving procedure to archive the docs which are already flagged for deletion...
    For MMR you use the transaction SARA...and its respective object for the archiving....
    You can use the SDN search to see the many threads on it...
    Or use this link as per your req. and make the search...

  • Search UIBB which has more than one analytical queries specified

    Hi,
    Has anyone used Search UIBB and specified more than one analytical queries? I have one search UIBB as a Master UIBB of Tabbed UIBB and two tabs. In each tab there is one Analytical List UIBB which has its own query. Both queries have input variables. Do you know if these variables should have the same names in order for the search UIBB to work?
    Best regards,
    Desislava

    Hi,
    I think I got the same problem! I tried to combine all the tables in a new view and create a query on this view.
    But when I search and my result has to be one record from the main table, I get this record more than once.
    I tried to use distinct but that does not work because each column has a different value, so the record is never the same.
    I hope someone can help us!

    Hello rkoslosky,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are not able to locate the Messages application on your daughters iPod touch (4th generation). The good news is that this application cannot be deleted or restricted. The first suggestion I have is to try and search for Messages using Spotlight to search the iPod touch for this application. If Messages is located in Spotlight, then it has probably been moved to a different page of applications or even possibly a folder of applications on the device. Searching all pages will help you locate it. 
    Search with Spotlight - Apple Support
    Have a great day,
    Joe
