Calculated field in List not reaching workflow

I have a list that looks up a value in another list.  I also have a calculated field in the list that finds the ID number from the lookup field by finding the ;.
When my item created SPD workflow runs, the calculated field has invalid data (#Value!).  When I view the list the calculated field indeed shows me #Value! initially, but when I refresh the screen I see the ID number.  It as if the workflow
is running before the calculated field has been calculated.
I've tried pausing the workflow for 2 minutes to no avail.  I set the calculated field to show NULL if it could not find the ; in the lookup field, and then have the workflow wait until the calculated field no longer had NULL but the never stopped
waiting.  And I don't see a way of using a string function in the workflow instead of doing it in the list as a calculated field.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
Please help.

Hi John,
I tested the scenario per your last post, and the workflow and calculated column worked fine if I used the Pause for Duration step in the workflow(text is the field where the calculated column gets data and loop is the lookup column):
In the third step it can log the ID obtained from the calculated column.
The third step in the workflow runs faster than the calculated column, so we need to add a pause after setting the text field where the calculated column gets data.
Best regards.
Thanks

  • Answers - would like to use calculated field's name, not expression

    Hi Everyone,
    I'am trying to make several calculated fields in a single query in Answers. Each field references the previous one, and the expression of the first one is already 5 rows long.
    Now I reference it in the second calculated field by using "Edit Formula" -> "Column" -> 'Colum name'.
    My problem is, that it puts the expression of the previous field, not it's name. I have to use it for almost 10 times in this single expression, so -although it works fine- it is totally unreadable, and very hard to debug for example.
    And after all, I should use this field again, in several next calculated fields.
    Does anyobody have an idea, how to make calculated fields having only the name of referenced other fields in it?
    The repo is set for ad hoc reporting also, so using session variables which need to be set in Administrator Tool, is not an option.
    Thanks for help in advance.

    Hi Venkat,
    thanks for the response. It would work, no doubt, in this special case, the problem is, that users use the repo for ad-hoc reporting aswell (and they don't have access to repo administration of course), so one can count on it, that there would be a new request of this kind every day to change the repo with customized user variables. I would like to avoid this of course.
    Having the name of a referenced field in a new expression would be a simple solution. Is it possible, that it can't be done?

  • Button onclick not working in the calculated field

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to add button in a calculated field to call custom JavaScript function.
    I suggest you can use concatenate formula function to achieve it.
    You can add button use concatenate function like below:
    =CONCATENATE("<input type='button' name='btnAddToBasket' id='btnAddToBasket' value='Add to basket' onclick=","addToBasket('",[Document Name],"','",[Original],"')"," />")
    More information:
    How can I get a button in SharePoint to display info about a record?
    CONCATENATE function
    Thanks

  • Issue with web part connections : won't display data when the lookup field is a calculated field

    Hello,
    I have a list A with a calculated field named A.A. I have a list B that has a lookup field to list A, to field A.A, named B.A. I add the two lists in a wiki page and I try to connect them - I.E., select a row from A and the rows from B would be automatically
    filtered.
    The B\Connections\get filtered values from A and select Provider:A.A, Consumer B.A doesn't bring any results. If I do the exact opposite: A\Connections\get filtered values from B and select Provider:B.A, Consumer A.A  works fine. But, this is not what
    I want.
    If the A.A isn't calculated field, everything works fine. So, it looks like there's an issue with calculated fields acting as consumers.
    Is this a known issue and are there any know workarounds? A workaround is to abandon calculated field and  use sharepoint designer workflow.
    Thank you
    Christos

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you had issues about connecting web parts.
    I try to reproduce the issue, however, everything works well.
    Create a custom list named List A, add a caculated column named A.A(Formula: =Title).
    Create a custom list named List B, add a lookup column named B.A(List A: A.A).
    Create a page and then insert the two list view web parts.
    Edit page, select List B->Connections->Get Filtered Values From List A.
    Then I can filter the List B.
    I recommend to create another caculated column and get filter value form it to check whether it works.

  • Calculated field with decimal place

    Hello,
    if I create calculated field in a table using formula e.g., ColumnName/ 60, where format of ColumnName is INT (total ammount of minutes)  in order to get hours, I get only integer part, not decimal. E.g., 80 (minutes)/60 =1.3333 but, in calculated field
    I see only 1 hrs without possibility to change format of the field.
    Can calculated field be used on this way? (My wish  is to get 1.3 in that field)
    How?
    Thanks

    Of course the calculated field/column can not be an INT, if it is then change that.
    Does something like this work?CAST(ColumnName/60 AS Decimal(10,2))

  • Calculated Field formula not appearing in Power View Field List panel

    Hi,
    On Power View1 sheet of this
    workbook, the two PowerPivot calculated Field formulas (First Visit and First date of FY) are not appearing in the Power View Fields panel on the right hand side.
    I want to drag client and First Visit (calculated Field) to the Power View.
    Why is this happening?
    Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com

    I found a workaround for it - I was having the same problem as you. I wanted to display the last refresh date of my data, but Power View wouldn't display a date resulting from the [Last Refresh]=MAX(Date[Date]) formula.
    HOWEVER, a Pivot Table can handle that Calculated field just fine. So I renamed my measure "Refreshed Date" and added another tab in the Excel Sheet. I added a Pivot Table from PowerPivot into cell A1 and the only thing I put was that single
    measure (A2). To the right of that, I did =A2 and created an Excel Data Table. The title of that was "Last Refresh". Now, I could add that Data Table to the PowerPivot Model and into Power View. And then I hid that tab.
    The only downside to this method, is that if you're refreshing single tables at a time, you have to remember to refresh the Pivot Table when new data is added AND update the data in the model. I'm only connecting to one database, so I just choose
    "Refresh All" in Excel and it updates everything. It works perfectly! :)
    Well shoot, I even took a screenshot that helped explain everything, but it won't let me post it because my account isn't verified and it won't tell me how. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll clarify!

  • How to add a calculated field in a list definition (schema.xml)?

    Hello,
    I'm currently trying to add a calculated field to a list definition (schema.xml).
    I have put the following code at the end of the schema.xml for the list I want to create. But when I deploy and activate the feature for the list, it doesn't appear in the list field.
    <Field ID="{EE20EC4B-4216-4259-A84F-C478CE42B70F}" Name="EC_EventsMgmt_CalculatedTime" StaticName="EC_EventsMgmt_CalculatedTime" Group="EC_EventsMgmt" Type="Calculated" DisplayName="Calculated Time" Required="TRUE" Hidden="FALSE" ReadOnly="FALSE" Format="DateTime"> <Formula>=DATE(2009,1,1)+TIME(EC_EventsMgmt_ScheduleHour,EC_EventsMgmt_ScheduleMinute,0)</Formula> <FieldRefs> <FieldRef Name="EC_EventsMgmt_ScheduleHour"/> <FieldRef Name="EC_EventsMgmt_ScheduleMinute"/> </FieldRefs> </Field>
    Could you please give me some help and explain me why it is not working?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi there.
    If I understand correctly, you create this list within the same feature?
    If so, the list isn't available during the propagation, and therefore the calculated field can't be added.
    If this is the case, then you could work around this by adding a feature activated event handler to your feature and add the calculated field programmatically in that event.
    Hope this helps.

  • Copying a Calculated Field Value to another Field in the same List

    Hello! I have a calculated field that uses an if statement to determine a score. IE A field called Downtime Score contains this calculate:  IF Downtime Minutes =10, 100.  (not correct formatting, just basic to get point across)
    I simply want to use a workflow to copy the calculated value in Downtime Score (100) to another field called Final Downtime Score.
    In the workflow, I current have the following:  Set FinalDowntimeScore to CurrentItem:Downtime Score
    When I log both to workflow history, they both show 0 in history.  Nothing is copying.
    The calculated field is a number and I tried both number and text fields for FinalDowntimeScore.
    This is within SharePoint 2013 and using SharePoint Designer 2013.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Ok, I did the same test as you and it failed.  I still return a 0 when I should see a 100.
    Not sure if this helps but when even though we are using sharepoint designer 2013, we only have "SharePoint 2010 Workflow" available in Platform type when creating workflows.
    Could you test again using SharePoint 2010 workflow as your platform type and see if you return the same results?
    Thanks!

  • Is it possible to set a field in another item/list in a workflow?

    I've created a list workflow to add a task after a new client is added to my client list. I am trying to create a pre-determined due date, so that the workflow works out the due date so that it's 2 days from today. So I decided to use the 'Add time to date'
    function and selected two days. I then figured that I could add these 2 days to the due date field in the task list by using the set field in current item to the 'add time to date' variable. However as this is a list workflow using my 'Cllients list' and not
    my events list when I select 'field' in the hope that due date from my events list pops up to select, obviously only the fields in my clients list come up. Therefore is there a way to set the field in another list to a value?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to make the Workflow Tasks work out with a pre-determined due date that it's 2 days from today in your client list workflow.
    I recommend that you can create this client list workflow as below in your environment.
    Then, you can go to “Start Options” to check “Start workflow automatically when an item is created”, publish this workflow and test if it works.
    When an new item is added in the client list, its corresponding Workflow Task is shown as below:

  • Time Stamp not affected by change of calculated fields.

    Dear Experts,
    We have several calculated fields that are depended on values of lookup records or the system-time.
    I experienced during recalculation that when the calculated field changes the Time Stamp did NOT change. This change did also NOT trigger the workflow with Trigger Action: Record Update. AND the record is not Syndicated because the syndication map has Suppress Unchanged Records.
    Has anyone an idea how to solve this?
    Kind regards,
    Job Jansen

    Dear Kanstantsin,
    I don't know what you mean by "simple field" but I have 2 calculated fields one is Text and the other is Boolean. In both cases the Time Stamp is not updated during recalculation.
    Of course both fields are selected fields in the Time Stamp field.

    Hello,
    Is there any other content type on library or check if there is any duplicate column? Could you please also show us your library columns detail? (pic is also fine of lib settings page)
    If you have any ""Property Promotion" column then SP create those columns as site column and associate them with this template so check "Allow management of content types" for that form library as well.

    Hi,
    I think the issue is related to the internal name of the Expiration Day.
    In the caml query code lines, we should use the right internal field name to retrieve and filter the list items.
    To avoid such mistake, we can use the CAML Designer tool to generate the caml query code.
    We can download the tool here: http://www.camldesigner.com/?p=594

  • "One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields" while accessing website pages

    We have a publishing website in SharePoint 2010. There are total 4 environments - Development, Test, Stage and Production. For some enhancements, we had to create some new lists and libraries. When we moved changes from Development to Test environment, everything
    worked fine. Relevant lists and libraries in lower environments were saved as templates (in .stp format) including content, imported to higher environment, lists/libraries were created in higher environment using imported templates. 
    Things worked fine from Development to Test. We did similar exercise from Test to Stage environment. Now in Stage, when we access some pages, we get error message - "One or more field types are not installed
    properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.". ULS logs don't tell which exact list has got problems. 
    On searching for this error, I got many articles that explain how this could happen when we migrate from SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) to 2010. Though our case different (as all our environments are in 2010), we still tried following steps. 
    De-activate 'SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure' Site Collection feature
    Go to https://site-name/relationships%20list/allitems.aspx. This is a hidden list. Delete this list. 
    Re-activate 'SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure' Site Collection feature.
    Make sure that new hidden list with one item is created at https://site-name/relationships%20list/allitems.aspx
    However, this didn't help as we are still getting same error message. Appreciate if someone can suggest how this issue can be resolved. 
    Following are ULS logs:

    Hi Shrishail ,
    Some time this issue occurs if you have any custom filed types in the list or library and that field type is not installed on server .
    Can you please check that if you are having any custom field types column on the list and library and if that is the case you need to install that field type on the server. sometimes it happens if field types are not properly deployed / Installed then
    you have to uninstall that field types (retract solution) and deploy it again.
    Thanks,

  • Updatable property of Calculated Field in ViewObject does not work

    Hello,
    I have set the Updatable property of some ViewObject attributes to "while new".
    In the page those attributes are shown as <af:inputListOfValues> components.
    When creating a new row, those components properly appear as enabled and let me insert any values, since the row is new.
    However, after a following commit, once the table in the page is refreshed, I still see some components enabled on the row I committed before. This only happens with attributes based on calculated fields, not with those based on real table fields, as if the "while new" property specified on the ViewObject calculated fields was ignored.
    Do you know why? Is there a solution or work around?
    Below are the ViewObject XML section and the af:component definition based on the attribute.
    <ViewAttribute
    Name="Cod"
    IsPersistent="false"
    PrecisionRule="true"
    Precision="15"
    Type="java.lang.String"
    ColumnType="VARCHAR2"
    AliasName="COD"
    Expression="COD"
    SQLType="VARCHAR"
    IsUpdateable="while_insert"
    LOVName="LOV_Cod">
    <DesignTime>
    <Attr Name="_DisplaySize" Value="15"/>
    </DesignTime>
    <Properties>
    <SchemaBasedProperties>
    <CONTROLTYPE
    Value="input_text_lov"/>
    </SchemaBasedProperties>
    </Properties>
    </ViewAttribute>
    <af:inputListOfValues id="ilov1"
    popupTitle="Search and Select: #{bindings.BLOCK.hints.Cod.label}"
    value="#{row.bindings.Cod.inputValue}"
    model="#{row.bindings.Cod.listOfValuesModel}"
    required="#{bindings.BLOCK.hints.Cod.mandatory}"
    columns="#{bindings.BLOCK.hints.Cod.displayWidth}"
    shortDesc="#{bindings.BLOCK.hints.Cod.tooltip}"
    autoSubmit="true">
    <f:validator binding="#{row.bindings.Cod.validator}"/>
    </af:inputListOfValues>

    Helga,
    The question is what does this "require" flag do? We read the book of life (cl_htmlb_inputfield), and see that this flag only controls in the first instance a little red * that is rendered next to the input field. This is a pure visualization for the user of the page.
    In addition you can ask that a check be done in the browser. This you can do with:
      <htmlb:inputField  id = "wander"
                         value = "E"
                         required = "TRUE"
                         doValidate="true" />
    However, I would not serious recommend this. Now even if you user presses a cancel button, or link, or breadcrumb, or..., the check will still complain.
    What we currectly do (and recommend), is to set the required flag on the <htmlb:<b>label</b>/> tag. And then do the actual checking on the server (must be done in anycase). If no value, or not correct, then also set the "invalid" flag, render out error message and redo page.
