Build Report using sharePoint list datasource for EPM projects.

Hi all,
I am using Project Server 2010.
When project is created using EPT then for that project a site will be created and each site has sharePoint Lists.
I want to build SSRS report that uses this sharepoint list as datasource.
My connection string to the site URL must be dynamic as each project site URL will be different.
Your help will be appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Rohit

Hello,
Look to use an expression and pass in the Project Site URL, see the example below:
SharePoint Web Services (XML) version but gives you the idea for using an expression:

In power view/power pivot using SharePoint List as data source in SharePoint 2010.
Thanks in advance.

Hi MercuryMan,
Yes, Power View, a feature of SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 or SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition, is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience.
It provides multiple views featuring tiles, slicers, a chart filter, and a number of visualizations, including cards, small multiples, and a bubble chart. So, we can use Power View to do intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users such as data analysts, business
decision makers, and information workers.
Currently, Power View report only supports two types of data models: PowerPivot Worksheet, and data models based on Analysis Services Tabular Model or Multidimensional Cube.
In your scenario, you can create PowerPivot worksheets using SharePoint List as data source, deploy the PowerPivot worksheet to a SharePoint Library or PowerPivot Gallery, and then generate Power View reports based on the PowerPivot worksheets on the SharePoint
site.
To use SharePoint List as data source in Excel PowerPivot, you can refer to the following resource:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230322.aspx
To create a Power View report based on PowerPivot model, you can refer to the following links:

SSRS reporting with sharepoint list using Distinct and Multivalue parameters

i want create ssrs report with sharepoint list using ms-vs(2008). i want create Distinct multivalue parameters by using CAML query. There is any way we put CAML query where we use Distinct keyword and IN clause in CAML query... i hope all experts will
understand my poor English... sorry for poor English.. plz help me

Hi AsifMehmood,
Per my understanding you have create an SSRS report with SharePoint list, now you don’t know to create the distinct parameters by using CAML query, right?
For the CAML language doesn’t have any reserved word (or tag) to set this particular filter to remove duplicate results, but we can use the custom code to do this function. I have tested on my local environment and we can do that by create one hidden parameter(Param1)
to get all the values from the fields which will add the filter and then create another parameter(Param2) to get the distinct values based on the Param1, we use the custom code to do the deduplication.
Step by Steps information in below thread for your reference to create the parameters and the custom code:
"How to get distinct values of sharepoint column using SSRS"
Other similar thread for your reference:

If your problem still exists, please feel free to ask and also try to provide us more details information.

Sharepoint List DataSource

Forgive me as I am new to Sharepoint though a veteran SQL Developer. I am having difficulty writing back to a joined query that has but 3 tables. I have tested ability to write back to a single table from a list successfully but can't do so from a slightly
more complex query that has the 3 tables. I understand how Sharepoint could get "confused" and not know which of the 3 to write data to. My question is how do you designate which table to write back to? Thanks in advance.
ddave

Hi DevDiver,
According to your description, when you use SharePoint List as DataSource, you want to directly use created views so that you can show the specific values you need. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we use SharePoint List as DataSource, all columns in Lists will be exported into Query Builder. There's no feature in Query Builder to show the views created for each SharePoint List. If we only need some specific columns, we
can only select them manually. So your requirement can't be achieved currently.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Sharepoint List DataSource does not exists

Hi,
I wanna create a SharePoint List Datasource in ReportManager, but the only DataSource type avaiable is MS SQL Server.
Is it because I'm using SQL Express (with advanced services) ?
Do I need a superior edition? or do I need to install the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint ?
I think the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint is only to use Report Server in Sharepoint Mode, is this correct?
Tks,
DD

Hi DevDiver,
According to your description, when you are trying to create a SharePoint List Datasource using SQL Server Express, the only DataSource type avaiable is MS SQL Server. In fact, SQL Server Express does not support non-SQL data source. So if we want to create
a SharePoint List Datasource, we need to update it to Standard or higher.
Besides, we don’t need to install Reporting Services Add-in when trying to create a SharePoint List Data Source. The Reporting Services Add-in is a required component for a report server that runs in SharePoint mode. It enables Reporting Services features
include Power View, a Report Viewer Web Part, a URL proxy endpoint, and application pages, so that you can create, view, and manage reports, report models, data sources and other report server content on a SharePoint site.

Report using Shuttle List

Greetings
I am using Apex Version 4.2
At first, I had created an item P31_JOB_CATEGORY that was a radio button. Upon selecting a value for the radio button, a report was generated. The query is as follows
select a, b, c
from Table A
where A.Job_Category = :P31_JOB_CATEGORYThis gave me the desired report. Now I want to change the radio button to a shuttle list so multiple values can be selected for the job category and generate a the report accordingly. Instead of one value, I can have 2, 3, or all. How would I alter my query to change this? would I have to use an array. I was thinking some type of "Where....In.." clause.
Thanks in advance!

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

Yes. A couple of ways that might work.
First Way
What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence. Does it display correctionly?
OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c). Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted. Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort. That should maek things work. What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence. That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
Second Way.
Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline. You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.

SSRS Clustered Column Report with SharePoint List

Hi Guys,
I have a SharePoint List which has 3 columns: Team Status Date and i want to generate clustere column chart using SSRS report. Could you please provide me steps for the same?
X Axis - All the teams
Y Axis - Count
Legends
1. Pending - status <> "Completed"
2. Task Overdue - status <> "Completed" && (Date == Today between Date == Today - 30
please find attached sample of report.
This is what I have tried so far...
I just need help on forming expression.
Thanks, Nilesh

Hi Nilesh,
According to your description, you want to use a SharePoint list as datasource then create a chart.
In your scenario, we can add a calculated field which includes “pending” and “Task Overdue”. Then add the calculated field to the Series Groups panel. Please refer to the steps and results below:
1. Add a calculated field and specify the value with the expression below:
=switch(Fields!status.Value <> "Completed" and Fields!Date.Value <= now() and Fields!Date.Value >= dateadd("d",-30,now()),"TaskOverdue",Fields!status.Value <> "compeleted","pending")
2. Design the report like below and preview the report.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Can a web service be used as the datasource for a View Object?

Has anyone used a web service as the datasource for a View Object?
I am trying to do the same thing as "Publishing BC4J Components as a Web Service" example, except I want to recreate the View Objects on the client so that I can iterate through them and display them on a web page.
I probably have two choices:
1. Use the web service as the datasource.
2. Use a file as the datasource with no data and then populate the View Objects from the XML from the Web Service.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Richard Catlin
SAIC

You can adapt the examples provided in the BC4J Toy Store demo for how to build a programmatically-populated view object to create a view object that fetches its data from a web service.
The methods that you need to override are the same for any kind of programmatically-populated view object.

SSIS Data Flow task using SharePoint List Adapter Setting SiteUrl won't work with an expression

Hi,
I'm trying to populate the SiteUrl from a variable that has been set based on a query to a SQL table that has a URL field. Here are the steps I've taken and the result.
Created a table with a url in it to reference a SharePoint Task List.
Created a Execute SQL Task to grab the url putting the result set in a variable called SharePointUrl
Created a For Each container and within the collection I use the SharePointUrl as the ADO object source variable and select rows in the first table.
Still in the For Each container within the Variable mappings I have another Package Variable called PassSiteUrl2 and I set that to Index 0 or the value of the result set.
I created a script task to then display the PassSiteUrl2 variable and it works great I see my url
This is where it starts to suck eggs!!!!
I insert a Data Flow Task into my foreach loop.
I Insert a SharePoint List Adapter into my Data Flow
Within my SharePoint List Adapter I set my list to be "Tasks", My list view to be "All Tasks" and then I set the url to be another SharePoint site that has a task list just so there is some default value to start with.
Now within my Data Flow I create an expression and set the [SharePoint List Source].[SiteUrl] equal to my variable @[User::PassSiteUrl2].
I save everything and run my SSIS package and it overlays the default [SharePoint List Source].[SiteUrl] with blanks in the SharePoint List Adapter then throws the error that its missing a url
So here is my question. Why if my package variable displays fine in my Control Flow is it now not seen or seen as blanks in the Data Flow Expression. Anyone have any ideas???
Thanks
Donald R. Landry

Thanks Arthur,
The scope of the variable is at a package level and when I check to see if it can be moved Package level is the highest level. The evaluateasexpression property is set to True. Any other ideas?
I also tried to do the following. Take the variable that has the URL in it and just assign it to the description of the data flow task to see if it would show up there (the idea being the value of my @[User::PassSiteUrl] should just show in the
description field when the package is run. That also shows up blank.
So i'm thinking its my expression. All I do in the expression is set [SharePoint List Source].[SiteUrl] equal to @[User::PassSiteUrl] by dragging and dropping the variable into the expression box. Maybe the expression should be something
else or is their a way to say @[User::PassSiteUrl] = Dts.Variables("User::PassSiteUrl2").Value.ToString()
In my script task I use Dts.Variables("User::PassSiteUrl2").Value.ToString() to display
the value in the message box and that works fine.

Using Sharepoint List Columns to create a simple trend chart

Hello,
I am trying to use a single sharepoint list fields with as my data to create a chart.
I have only two columns I want to create the chart with: The date and time picker
column where the user picked a date and time and it is formatted accordingly and the Item ID.
I just want show how many items were created in each month and year. For e.g if there were 3 items created in between Jan 1st- 31st, 2014 then I want it to show a count of 3 for the month of Jan.
I used the MonthName and string conversion for the X axis and it seems to be showing the month and year, but I cannot get the items that were created to show up for each month.
Any guidance is welcome!
I would like to create a trend chart that shows how many

Hi PinkPowerRanger,
Per my understanding that you have two fields in the table "Date and Time picker" which is Date/time type and another is "Item ID", you need to get the Month from the Date field to display in the X-axis and count(Item ID) related to each
month to display in the Y-Axis, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can do this by create two calculated fields to get the month and year values from the Date/Time field.
Details information below for your reference:
Right click the main dataset to select the "Add Calculated field", specify an name of the new calculated field and add the expression in the field source as below:
Year: =Year(Fields!Date.Value)
Month: =MonthName(Month(Fields!Date.Value))
Add the three field in the Chart as below and remember in the Value area you have got the Count(ItemID) but not SUM(ItemID):
Preview you will got the chart like below:
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Using SharePoint Lists.AddAttachments web service in LiveCycle

Hello everyone,
I have implemented a workflow process that saves data from a PDF form to a SharePoint list, using its Lists.UpdateListItems web service. This works fine with no issues. Now, I am trying to take this a step further by also attaching the associated PDF form to the list item, using the AddAttachments web service, but have been unsuccessful. I keep getting an empty web response back.
Has anyone been able to use this web service successfully within LiveCycle, particularly with PDF documents? Please let me know, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
