SharePoint 2010 Column Data Filtering

Good Morning!
Two questions for everyone. Building a SharePoint 2010 site and am looking to learn a bit about the SP interface.
Question 1: Is it possible to link information in the Content Organizer drop down menus to begin to filter the results that appear in drop downs further down.
Example: User selects a value under "Brand Field." Future fields are filtered based on the first selection. In this example, Brand and Product Segment are both Choice Columns (Multi-Variable).
User Selects: Brand 1;
Product Segments Available: Product Segment 1
User Selects: Brand 2; Product Segments Available: Product Segment 2 & 3
Question 2: Is it possible to create levels of library filtering in the tree view. I am working for a client who has 300+ product lines across their 5 brands, so the ability to limited
results while centrally warehousing information would be preferred. In the past they had accomplished a system using an intricate series of sub directories, but I would prefer to avoid if possible.
Brand
Product Segment
Product Category
Product Series
Will submit photos in a few minutes.

Might be worth you looking at metadata navigation.

SharePoint 2010 SQL Data View will not sort text columns

Hello All,
This is a comment not a question.
I was hitting my head against the wall for a couple hours with this one. Data View worked fine until I tried to sort it by one of the test columns in the data. After much research I figured that it had to be a data type issue. Sure enough
I found that the database table was still using the text data type. This has been deprecated but still works in SQL. Not in SharePoint! I hope this will help someone.
Thanks,
Michelle Metzger

Hi,
The screenshot indicates that SharePoint Designer is crashing when trying to add new External Content Type.
Remove the SharePoint Designer and reinstall it to check the result.
Microsoft Business Connectivity Services (BCS) enables users to read and write data from external systems—through Web services, databases, and Microsoft .NET Framework assemblies—from within Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Microsoft Office
2010 applications.
There are lots of blog articles showing how to configure BCS in SharePoint 2010. You can start from:

Hi,

Now what should I do next to connect my SharePoint List.

Are you able to run the Config Wizard? Are there any helpful messages in the Application Event Log or in Applications and Services Logs -> Microsoft -> SharePoint Products -> Shared -> Operational?

How to take list backup with lookup columns data in sharepoint 2010

Hi friends,
I have one issue on "Copy the list in one sitecollection to another sitecollection"
I have one list like "ABC" and with lookup column "Status" this column is looked to anthor list columns
My task is i want to Copy the same list with lookup columns with Data(lookup columns Data) in one site and restored in another site.
Error is Lookup columns Data is not coming.
How to Copied list with lookup columns data to restored in another list?
Badri

i think there is no such method to move the list with lookup column.
couple of things which cause the failure, Number Source list may be not available on the target site collection, Column IDs / List IDs different from Site collection a to B.
I would try to use the backup of site collection and restore it, i am not sure whether it will work not.
i think copy the data from the lookup clomn in the excel, then move the list to different site collection with blank data then copy the data from excel to new list.
check this one for another idea:

Filtering a sharepoint 2010 list using Multiple values from Multi-Select Filtering In Infopath 2010 form

I am creating a browser based InfoPath 2010 form Calendar Filtering
using SharePoint 2010 Calendar List (All Events) and InfoPath 2010. This form has data connection to the Calendar list. Goal is to
compare Calendar Events from Current Year to Previous Year. I have 2 columns called - Previous Year and Current Year. I have 2 drop-down controls in each columns called
Select Year and Select Week. I also have common drop down called
Select Category which holds category of the events such as weather, power outages and so on. I wish to display specific events on specific date and specific week on both columns.
I am able to filter the list based upon Year and Week
on both these columns by applying rules in the InfoPath 2010 form. The real issue is that I want to apply category filter on the search result of
Year and Week. Or it needs to show all the values if I
select Category value as All. So I wish to apply filter on Search results using Category drop-down list selection.
Hope I could explain this better but I tried to do the best here. Any suggestions, hint, or pointers
Thanks

How to copy Excel sheet data to SharePoint 2010 List?

Hi,
I need to export excel data to SharePoint 2010 list. I have created 22 columns in list which are of following Column types:
Single line of text,
Multiple line of text,
Choice
Number,
Date,
Person or Group.
Now i need to export the excel data to SharePoint list.
When iam trying to copy data from excel to List , it is showing as "The selected cells are read only".
can someone guide on this to export spread sheet data to SharePoint list without importing Spreadsheet.
Thanks in advance.
Badri

I've updated the example of using PowerShell to include a Person field (user field) and a choice field.
The CSV file has the following columns:
TRIP_NO
VESSEL_NAME
FLAG
AGENT_NAME
CURRENT_LOCATION
RPT_DATE
EMPLOYEE
EMPLOYEE_TYPE
#Get the CSV file and connect to the SharePoint list
$vessellist = import-csv -Path C:\Temp\VesselInPortReport.csv
$l = (Get-Spweb "http://devmy101").GetList("http://devmy101/Lists/smarInPort")
#Get the lists EmployeeType field (choice)
$employeeType = $l.Fields["EmployeeType"] -as [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldChoice]
#Loop through the items and add them to the list
$r = 1;
foreach($item in $vessellist)
$ni = $l.items.Add();
#Add the Title, using the rows VESSEL_NAME column
$ni["Title"] = $item.VESSEL_NAME;
#Add the "Date Recorded" field, using the csv rows "RPT_DATE" column
[DateTime]$rd = New-Object System.DateTime;
if([DateTime]::TryParse($item.RPT_DATE, [ref]$rd)){
$ni["Date Recorded"] = $rd;
#Add the csv rows "TRIP_NO" column to the new list items "Trip Id" field (SPFieldNumber)
[Int64]$tn = New-Object System.Int64;
if([Int64]::TryParse($item.TRIP_NO, [ref] $tn)){
$ni["Trip Id"] = $tn;
#Add some other text properties
$ni["Flag"] = $item.FLAG;
$ni["Agent Name"] = $item.AGENT_NAME;
$ni["Current Location"] = $item.CURRENT_LOCATION;
#Add user information
$ni["employee"] = $w.EnsureUser($item.EMPLOYEE); #In this case, the $item.EMPLOYEE value from the spreadsheet is a persons name. Eg. "Matthew Yarlett"
$employeeType.ParseAndSetValue($ni,$item.EMPLOYEE_TYPE); #In this case, the $item.EMPLOYEE_TYPE value from the spreadsheet is valid choice present in the EmployeeType list field. Eg. "Manager"
#Update the item
$ni.Update()
Write-Host ([String]::Format("Added record:{0}",$r));
$r++;

SharePoint 2010 Web Analytics Reports Not Displaying Data

Hi,
I'm currently having some issue with the Web Analytics Reports. It had been working fine for the past 1 year and suddenly a few months back, the Web Analytics is not showing any data. Have already troubleshoot the issue using the
Troubleshooting SharePoint 2010 Web Analytics Article and all values show the correct date and time.
Therefore, I have performed a more in-depth analysis and found out that the WAHierarchyData table in the Reporting Database only have Root ID
I have verified with a working SharePoint environment and the table should contain all the SharePoint site ID. Also, I have looked into all the SharePoint and Windows logs and all found to be showing the services to be running normally. I would like to check
if there is a way to restore the data in this table or is there any other ways I can trace and troubleshoot this issue.
Background information
SharePoint Version: Service Pack 2
SQL Server: Cluster Environment

Hi,
I queried the WAHierarchyData table in my environment, and there should be id column in returning result.
You could manually run timer job related to Web Analytics service application and check ULS log for error message.
To narrow down the root cause, we need query SharePoint database tables and compare query result, which might exceed the supported scenario. I'd recommend you open a ticket with MS support, they could reach your envrionment and troubleshoot the issue for
you. For your convenience:

SharePoint 2010 Site Web Analytics - Top Pages report not showing complete data

Hi,
I have a custom page in a team site which takes list ID as an argument and shows the relevant data e.g.
../Dashboards/View%20Briefing.aspx?BriefingID=1078
../Dashboards/View%20Briefing.aspx?BriefingID=1079 etc
When i look at the Top Pages report under Site Web Analytics all i can see is data for:
/dashboards/view briefing.aspx
I need stats for individual list items i.e. how many time BreifingID 1078 was viewed etc. Is it possible to achieve this using OOTB reports or can i write a custom report to achieve this? If yes then how...
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Kashif

You’re dynamically filtering content on a single page with values on the query string. Your users are still only hitting one page (View%20Briefing.aspx). Analytics only sees that 'View%20Briefing.aspx' is being hit; it won’t record stats for what’s specified
on the query string.
I expect you could pull this data out of your IIS logs using log parser. Some links on this subject:

How can I change the width of a column in a list of sharepoint 2010 ?

How do I change the column width in sharepoint 2010 so the data displays properly in standard view?
I open the list View in sharepoint designer,and change the width of the <td> ,but ,when I preview ,the column width don't change. what should I do?

While they may auto adjust to what it thinks is a correct width, far too often it allocates way too much room and that causes lists with 4 columns to be much longer than they need to be and without the ability to adjust them, lists look strange.
http://twitpic.com/23ro09/full is an example of the first column having been allocated too much room.

SharePoint 2010 : How to display ALL Version History of a list item's multiline text box in a same list as a list view column?

In SharePoint 2010 , I have version history enabled multiple text box 'issue details'. Users mainly uses Data Sheet view and it does not show all version history of that multiple line text box, is there anyway we can display list view column in

<SharePoint:AppendOnlyHistory runat="server" ItemId="{$thisNode/@ID}" FieldName="Issue_x0020_Details" ControlMode="Display"></SharePoint:AppendOnlyHistory>
WHen I use this line of code , it displays multiple line of same version history instead of each, please help.

Date parameter does not work in SharePoint 2010 report using SQL 2008 Server Reporting Service

Here is the settings:
SharePoint 2010 with SQL server 2008 reporting services configured
When create a report for a SP list using SQL server report builder (3.0) the date parameter does not work.
The data parameter is set as "date and time" type and field name equals the col name in the SP list
When run the report, the whatever dates I select, the result is always the same, so the parameters do not take any effect.
Is any step missing?
Thanks for any advice !

Hi ,
How did you configure you "date and time" type parameter and field name equals the col name in the SP list?
Have you tested if other type parameter worked?
Have you tried typing the date format as 20140722 in your date parameter filed before run the report?
