Drop Down Filter Web Part

In Order to improve navigation of my Share point list I need drop down filter web part. How can I make one? Is there an out of the box Filter web part to provide that function? I used Choice Filter web part that is not exactly do what I need.

Hi Karan,
With OOB filter web part, we have the following kinds:
Text filter
Date filter
Choice filter
Current user
SharePoint list
You could refer more information about them in the article below:

If Choice filter web part does not match your situation, please provide more specific information about your requirement.

SQL Server Analysis Services Filter web part.

Hi all
In a NTLM farm with 1 SharePoint and 1 SQL server, I am using clamis based authentication for Excel Services app in SharePoint Server 2010.
While all Excel documents work, I get error on "SQL Server Analysis Services Filter" web part.
The filter works when I am logged on the sharepoint server and open the Intranet to use it, but doesn't work if I reach the Intranet by not logging on the SharePoint server.
The error I get is on the filter web part:
"An error occured while retrieving filter values (The connection either timed out or was lost).
Anyone else that have had the same problem?
Any ideas to troubleshoot? :)
Regards

OK, I solved this problem with the following workaround: (Notice that the problem may be solved when you have completed just one of the steps, so be sure you make a test everytime you have completed one).
First:
Try changing your Excel Services Application File Access Method to
IMPERSONATE, that can be achieved in SharePoint Central Administration
-> Manage Service Applications -> Excel Services Application Settings ->
Global Settings. (Make sure the option for Allow Cross Domain Access is unchecked if you don't have a security certificate installed on the server, also in the most cases you don't need this option). Please take note of your Excel Services
Application ID.
Then modify your performance point data connection file in Excel, by oppening Connection Properties and in the Definitions tab, click on Authentication, set Authentication Type to Use a Stored Account and then write your excel services application ID in
the textbox labeled "Application ID", by default the excel services application ID is
"Excel Services Application" (no quotes), now click OK. Then click Export Connection File and overwrite current connection file in SharePoint.
(You may need to restart the Excel Calculations Service on Manage Services in this Farm page).
Second: (If before step doesn't solved the problem already)
Change the service account for the SQL Server Analysis Service to an account that have Delegation permission or change the current account to LocalSystem.
Third (If the other two steps doesn't solved the problem).
Check in SharePoint Central Administration if the service Claims To Windows Token is started, if not, just start it.
I solved the connection problem, but now When I get the hierarchies in the filter, I can not drill more than 2 levels down, in the third level it throws the following exception: "There was an error in the callback"

List Filter Web Part not Working

Hi. I'm implementing a SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise Farm on a new Customer. I've created the desired site structure. When trying to use the List Filter web part, i can configure, connect sucessfully to another webpart and even filter.
The problem is that the Webpage Dialog with the filters, the radio buttons show up but no description is associated to them. Regardless if i configure the description in the web part properties. I even gone further, and tried do create a choice filter,
with the same behavior.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Tiago Costa

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you have an issue about the list filter web part.
Per my knowledge, the description column is used to display an alternative value in the Select Filter Value(s) dialog box, which displays when a user clicks the Filter button.
For example, if you have a Month number column that uses the numbers 1 though 12 as month values, you can use a Month Name column as the Description column so that January is displayed instead of 1, February instead of 2, and so on.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/sharepoint-server-help/connect-a-filter-web-part-to-a-list-view-web-part-HA010250989.aspx
I tried to reproduce the issue in my environment, however, when I chose the
Created column for Description field, when I clicked the filter button, the created time displayed.
Did the issue occur in other pages? You can recreated a new page, then check whether it works.
You can also use other browsers to check whether it works.
Thanks,
Jason

How to pass multiple query string values using the same parameter in Query String (URL) Filter Web Part

Hi DH, sorry for not being clear.
It works when I create the connection from that web part that you want to be connected with the Query String Filter Web part. So let's say you created a web part page. Then you could connect a parameterized Excel Workbook to an Excel Web Access Web Part
(or a Performance Point Dashboard etc.) and you insert it into your page and add
a Query String Filter Web Part . Then you can connect them by editing the Query String Filter Web Part but also by editing the Excel Web Access Web Part. And only when I created from the latter it worked
with multiple values for one parameter. If you have any more questions let me know. See you, Ingo

SP2013 - Date Filter Web Part looses connection when used in a site template

Hi,
I created two table reports in SQL Reporting Services 2012 and inserted in a web page using the Reporting Service Report viewer in SharePoint 2013 with CU Dez 2013. The two reports require two dates and I use two date filter web parts (I did not try the
date range solution I saw in the fórum).
So the user inputs the two dates in date filters that send the information to thereports in the same page.
They work in the site and I saved it as template. However when I create e new site using it as a templates, the date filter connections are broken and of course, they did not work.
For another report where I usea text filter, it worked without any problem in the template.
Does anybody know any workaround?
Thank you.
Best regards, Ricardo Segawa - Segawas Projetos / Microsoft Partner

Hi ,
The new site based on the saved site template will generate new ID for date filter web part, in the web part page the SPWebPartConnection "ProviderID" value seems still to reference the original date filter web part ID (see from
SharePoint Designer), as a workaround we can re-configure the web part connection from the web part page manually or programmatically from that new site web part page.

How can I use today's date as default value in query string filter web part in SharePoint

I have a query string filter on my web part page. I am trying to figure out how I can set it's default value to Today? I can't find anything online...

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to set a default value to the Query String Filter Web Part.
It would not be able to set default value to the Query String Filter Web Part with the OOTB features available.
By default, with a Query String Filter Web Part in the current page, we can filter other web part in the same page by adding parameters and values in the address bar
of browser.
If setting the “Query String Parameter Name” of a Query String Filter Web Part as “t”, then we can filter the corresponding connected web part by inputting such an
URL into the address bar:
http://sharepoint/SitePages/Page1.aspx?t=value1
Suppose you want to filter the list view with a value dynamically when user opens this page, as a workaround, we can generate an URL with the parameters needed when
page loaded, then redirect user to this URL afterwards. This can be achieved using JavaScript.
About how to redirect user to other page with an URL:

Drop down in web UI

HI
I need a drop down in web UI pop up so the user will select a value from the drop down and post it for the respective event message .
how can i configure this drop down in event message pop up
Regards
ravi

Hello Ravi,
There are two ways to configure with drop down menu.
1) Via Control Parameters (This will defaulted to your value)
          - Create Control Parameters
          - Provide values to the Control Parameters
          - Define your event message parameter with parameter name equal to control parameters
          - Define event message parameter with parameter value and make sure you unchecked No Fixed Values
2) Via Search Help
          - Define your own search help with the values you want and then assign that search help while defining event message with parameter value
Please let me know if its not work for you.
Thanks,
Kinjal Rathod

SharePoint 2013 Filter Web Part configure connection webpage blank

Hi,
I've got a problem at one of my clients. I'm trying to connect a filter web part to a document library.
I'm configuring a connection and the first pop-up (where you can configure a "Get Parameters From or Get Filter Values from" connection type) shows up fine.
When I select one of the options the next screen is all blank.
I've used IE in different modes (IE 11, IE 10 IE 9) and also tried using Chrome, but all the same result.
Can anyone help me?

Hi Elmar,
According to your description, my understanding is that the Configure Connection webpage of the filter web part was blank.
I recommend to add the site where the filter web part existed to the trusted zone and add to compatibility view in Internet Explorer to see if the issue still occurs.
Best regards.
Thanks

Excel web part and choice filter web part session timeout

Hi,
I have set up a excel web part and choice filter web part so I can change the parameters for the excel with the choice filter. I used this link: office.microsoft.com/en-001/sharepoint-server-help/connect-filter-web-parts-to-excel-web-access-HA010105470.aspx
The problem that I have, is that each time I select a parameter through the choice filter web part, I get a session timeout:
How can I prevent the session timeouts? I allready checked the Trusted File Location in the central admin (the location where the Excel is uploaded is not mentioned specifically, but the main domain is, so I guess all domains that built upon the
main domain are also trusted locations?)

Hi vjo,
Please try to increase the Short Session Timeout in the trusted file location, compare the result.
If this issue still exists, please check the ULS log to find whether there is something about this issue.
The path of the log file is: C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS.

Applying a User Filter web part to the Project Summary Web Part

I've been searching for a way to do this but to no avail!
Is there a way to filter out the Project Summary Web Part to only display MyItems.aspx?
nothing seems to work. I have designer 2013, SharePoint 2013, etc.
Please advise,

Hi Boxboy,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to only display current user’s tasks in the Project Summary web part. Is it right?
Project summary web part displays events and tasks in SharePoint 2013. Per my knowledge, we cannot filter the tasks in the OOB Project summary web part.
More information about Project summary web part:
http://community.bamboosolutions.com/blogs/sharepoint-2013/archive/2013/07/11/how-to-use-the-project-summary-web-part-in-sharepoint-2013.aspx
As a workaround, you can filter the orginal tasks list using Current User Filter web part instead of filtering the Project summary web part.
Or, you can develop your own Project summary web part using code.

My home page is MSN and whenever I scroll down the page, the "Bing Web Search" menu drops down and covers part of the page in Windows XP. How can I prevent this from happening?

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/811325''
This only happens on the home page. The drop down appears as soon as the "Bing Web Search" at the top of the page disappears as one scrolls down the page and remains visible until I scroll all the way back to the top of the home page.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Empty Grantee drop-down in web interface?

Having two schemas, sample1 and sample2, with a table in sample2 that I want visible to sample1, I want to apply the GRANT statement to that table with sample1 as the grantee.
Using the web interface, after selecting the table Object Browser, selecting Tables from the list, then clicking once on the table of interest, then clicking the Grants link, then the Grant "button", I am presented with a dialog for issuing a grant.
However, the Grantee drop-down list is empty! I was hoping to see "sample1" listed there.
Issuing the statement in the SQL Command window functions appropriately, of course. The Grants page even shows them properly afterward.

Robert,
Good catch. I filed a bug on this issue.

What is the drop down below web (http) address box?

When I hit the arrow,I get a bunch of drop down results,but don't know why they ended up in the drop down (I didn't do anything active to put them there) and how do I get rid of them?

When I click the arrow (the down arrow all the way to the right) at any random time it gives a drop down list.How did it develop that list?It's a bizarre list that I would like to erase.It's content seems to have no rhyme or reason.
I have never become a fan of the location bar.I just find it way too busy to use on a regular basis.If I believe that I will have to revisit a site or web page,I will bookmark it.

Multiple drop down filter for xml

Hi,
I've had a look through previous posts, but I think I need
the very basics explained to me.
Here's an example of some XML that I want to use:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<company>
<department name="Research & Development">
<employee>
<name>John Doe</name>
<job>Software Analyst</job>
<salary>2000</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Jane Fletcher</name>
<job>Designer</job>
<salary>2500</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Chris Benton</name>
<job>Programmer</job>
<salary>3100</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Ben Walker</name>
<job>Programmer</job>
<salary>2800</salary>
</employee>
</department>
<department name="Marketing">
<employee>
<name>George Palmer</name>
<job>Copywriter</job>
<salary>2530</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Tony Norberto</name>
<job>Content Editor</job>
<salary>1900</salary>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Adrian Segata</name>
<job>Marketing Manager</job>
<salary>5000</salary>
</employee>
</department>
</company>
I'd like to have two drop down menus (Job and Salary).
Default output table should display all of the names of the
employees. When a user selects a drop down menu, the output table
should filter so that only employees with that job are displayed.
It should also have a reset button (or blank on each drop down
menu) to reset the table to its default.
Currently thinking that the drop down menus should be
Spry:repeats as a menu.
As you can probably see, I'm very new to this, but if anybody
can suggest some code to do this it would be really helpful. I've
had a few attempts with Spry, but my programming is really limited.
So far I'm OK with displaying the drop down menus and the original
table, but can't implement the filters. I've just spent a while
trying to do it in XSLT to no avail :(.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any help on this.

</tr>
</table>
</div>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
So, I've got 3 drop down menus, and an output table.
How do I go about making the drop down menus filter the table
(e.g. choose a salary and the table only displays employees with
that salary)?
I'm guessing it's something along the lines of Spry:if
"employee/salary" = "salary", but I've no idea how to implement it.
Thanks again for any help with this.
