Error in Calculated Column (using Today) in DataSheet View

I have a calculated column which display's the value based on the difference between today and requested date field.
=Today-[Requested Date]
This is working fine in SharePoint Standard View. But the same is not working with the datasheet view . The calculated column is showing as below
=#NAME?-[Requested Date].
Due to this i am not able to save the data. Can anyone please let me know how to solve this ?

Hi,
First I have used today() function to calculate difference between 2 days except working days. The list is not automatically updating. If we change the Start_Date, then it calculates and gives the value. Can you suggrest me why this happens?
You have metioned in your post that there is some tricks in using today() function. I have created seperate Today_Date column in my list. And Used the same column name in finding difference between 2 days. Here also the same problem exists.
The formula I used is, =IF(AND((WEEKDAY([Today Date],2))<(WEEKDAY([Release Date],2)),((WEEKDAY([Release Date],2))-(WEEKDAY([Today Date],2)))>1),(((DATEDIF([Release Date],[Today Date],"D")+1))-(FLOOR((DATEDIF([Release Date],[Today
Date],"D")+1)/7,1)*2)-2),(((DATEDIF([Release Date],[Today Date],"D")+1))-(FLOOR((DATEDIF([Release Date],[Today Date],"D")+1)/7,1)*2)))
please suggest me how to get Difference between 2 date values get automatically updated everytime, when i open the list.

Calculated Column using IF statement with DATEIF formula

I have a dated column that includes a date when a position is vacated otherwise the field is blank if the position is still filled. I want a calculated column to return the number of days the position has been vancant from the date that is listed to today.
So the following was entered & works.....
=DATEDIF([Vacancy Date],Today,"d")
The delima is that it is also returning a value when there is no date in the dated column but it returns a funky number 42,069. What I want it to return when the dated column is blank is blank or zero would work too. I don't know how to incorporate that
into this formula.

You are correct it no longer reads that column as Today.... So is there anyway to make this a calculated column for my purposes?
I'm going to use SharePoint list for a Position Pool & managing positions within a large department. What I'm attempting to do with this column is have a current count of the number of days since a position has been vacant. Our system that I pull the
position data from will give me the vacancy date for those positions & where the position is filled the date field will be blank. So I'm wanting this column to return a 0 when the position is listed as filled & the number of days vacant based on the
vacancy date column I have. Is there any way to make this work in SharePoint? Obviously I can make that work in Excel however my task was to load raw data into SharePoint & have SharePoint do the work if possible with little to no human intervention prior
to loading to SharePoint.
Thank you,

Workflow giving "Suspended" Error on Calculated Columns- Sending Reminder Emails on List Due Date

I have created a list that has our reporting due dates plus calculated columns for 5 and 10 day reminders.
Example:
Due Date: 3/7/2014 1:00 PM
5 Day Reminder (Calculated Column= [Due Date] – 5): 3/2/2014 1:00 PM
10 Day Reminder (Calculated Column= [Due Date] -10): 2/25/2014 1:00 PM
As you can see in the list, it calculates the (5 and 10 day) reminder dates correctly in the list…
However, what I am wanting to happen is to build a workflow that will automatically trigger and send these reminder emails.
In SP 2013 Designer, I have my conditions set as:
I can go in on the list and set the workflow but once the due date/time comes up… The status changes from "Started" to "Suspended"-- I never receive a reminder email and I get the following error:
"RequestorId: ff5dac1d-ccee-ba1b-0000-000000000000. Details: RequestorId: ff5dac1d-ccee-ba1b-0000-000000000000. Details: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance. Exception details: System.ApplicationException: HTTP

The string I have set up within SP Designer for the dates is:
If Current Item:Due Date
equals Today
If Current Item:5 Day Reminder
equals
Today
If Current Item:10 Day Reminder
equals
Today
Any ideas as to what I am missing?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
To start the workflow, we have three options:
If you select the “start the workflow automatically when an item is created” or “start the workflow automatically when an item is changed”, the workflow can be started automatically.
If you don’t, your workflow will never run, and therefore never wait till the date specified.
The “Pause Until Date” action causes a workflow to pause executing until a specified date and time.
If current day is equal to the specified date, it will execute the next step.

Using [TODAY] in filtered views

The instructions under the filter section in Edit View clearly states; "Show all of the items in this view, or display a subset of the items by using filters. To filter on a column based on the current date or the current user of the site, type
[Today] or [Me] as the column value...". However when I use [Today] as my filter value, I received the following error message: "Filter Value is not a supported date format" My date fields are all set up
as date only, and I am assuming that [Today] also is set up as date only. Did something change in SharePoint 2010 that won't accept [today] as a filter value?

Hi. There is no other column called "Today". I created the "My Today" solution simply because the directions within the view indicate that I should use [Today]. I am not including the "=" sign. I am simply trying to filter my view where a specific
date is equal to [Today]. The error message I get says something to the effect of the format of [Today] is not compatible with the filter. Is it possible that [Today] includes both date and time? My field is set up to display date only.

Is there a way to use SharePoint 2010 Datasheet View in SharePoint 2013?

Quick edit mode doesn't meet users' requirement. They want the header freezing and column width adjustable like what they did in SharePoint 2010.
I understand the Datasheet view is achieved by Access ActiveX control. Can this be used in SharePoint 2013? And SharePoint 2013 online?

Anyone with a solution to use SP 2010 datasheet AxtiveX control somehow as SP 2013 datasheet view?

That wouldn't be possible, this is controlled server-side.

Hiding a column used in the custom view!

Hello! I would like to find out if there is any way to do the following: I have a view based on a table (Configuration Manager - Views). I specified to display 4 columns to show up in the View, so that we can modify the columns without going into the Database. In the "Default Display Expression" entry on the Info tab of the view, I've specified how these columns should be displayed on the UI. My problem: I don't want to display the fourth column on the UI at all, but I want this column to still be accessible by administrators via the view! Is it possible to specify somehow NOT to display this column, but still use it in the view? Thanks for the suggestions! Anya

Hello! I've actually created a separate view just to hide this fourth column, and we will be using this for the administration (relates to your point b). However, someone had asked not to use so many views! Do you know of any problems if several views are being used for the same table? In our case some tables have up to 3 views already. We use this view for the Metadata field, but the Metadata field is an option list (or controlled vocabulary in our terms). To enable more user-friendly selection, we are using DHTMLX Grid (dhtmlx.com) to display values in the View. The grid is displaying all columns from the view, by default! (Perhaps I need to check if I can somehow customize the Grid - however, I was hoping to do this from the View itself) Thanks!

Scripting Error for Calculating Columns

Hello,
I have created a table in which I need to sum the rows and columns. The script is working for each row, but it is not for each column. I've looked through this forum and found several examples that should work for me but I'm still receiving an error; accessor ... is unknown (where... is the path). I would appreciate any assistance.

Well,
as I said, the reference is wrong.
In your form, there is no row named "Row", but 4 rows named individually "Row1", "Row2" etc.
The script you use looks for all instances of a object named "Row"m this means Row[0], Row[1], Row[2] and so on..
So just rename all the 4 rows into "Row" and your script will work.

I already checked that all workload VMs are in time sync.

You may have something off with your VMMARK2.config file as it looks like a value may be set incorrectly. It may also be that STAF has had an error. I'd review the file, reboot your prime client and retry
You haven't resolved the Olio issue so this is why your scoring attempt is failing.

SPD 2010 - ID Column moves to end of List in DataSheet View

Randomly, the ID column will move from the first column to the last column when you access DataSheet view.
In Standard View it is still column 1....
We are using this ID Column:
ID# (linked to item with edit menu)
Other times this ID Column will add itself to the DataSheet View, but not the Standard View:
ID#
This is frustrating my users to NO end having to drag the column back to the first place.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!~
<label for="ShouldDisplayTitle"></label>

Hi Amber,
Let's verify the followings:
How did you create the ID# column? I am wondering whether you changed the Name of "Title" to "ID#". If not, please give the steps to create the column.
You mean that the ID# column is changed from the first position to the last one in Datasheet view, is it right? Do other columns have this issue?
Do other lists have this issue?
To narrow down this issue, please do:
Create another column which has same type with ID#, test again, compare the result.
Create a new list, and add a same column with ID#, then test in the new list, compare the result.
Thanks,
Wendy

How to join two lists and display the results in datasheet view.?

hello,
i have two lists that i would like to join, i know a method that has been described in the link below
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/194252/How-to-Link-Two-Lists-and-Create-a-Combined-Ciew-i
however, here the data view is only limited to 30 rows and my resultant list is huge. I would like to know if there is a possibility to view the resultant list in a data sheet view ?

I don't believe you can use the OOTB Datasheet view when joining lists. However, you should be able to increase your limit from 30 items to as many as you need (that doesn't trip the threshold set in Central Admin).

Datasheet view in SharePoint 2013

Is there a way to display the datasheet view in SharePoint 2013 like the older version i.e. MS Access Web Datasheet component? There are lot of features removed from the current datasheet view.
Thanks Arut

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display the datasheet view in SharePoint 2013 like the older version.
In SharePoint 2013 the Datasheet view was replaced with the new Quick Edit option which works now in all browsers (since it is no longer using ActiveX).
Though the new Quick Edit mode does not support all the "Excel-like" features, it has many improvements.
To use the old Datasheet view, the
KwizCom Datasheet view seems to be a solution. After using the add-on, the Datasheet view ribbon button will be located left to the Quick Edit button.

Sharepoint 2013 Datasheet View Navigation performance Issues on large lists

I was recently upgraded to SharePoint 2013.
In SharePoint 2010 Datasheet View, one could scroll through and bulk select 100s of line items in Datasheet view very easily.   Navigating the datasheet view was just like navigating through a worksheet in Excel, and one could use quick select
keys like ctrl-shift-right arrow / down arrow to bulk select items.
After the upgrade to SharePoint 2013, using the "Quick Edit" tab in Datasheet view and changing the Item Limit to 5000 items, it takes an inordinately long time to load the list.   None of the quick select keys like ctrl-shift-right arrow
works anymore and the browser keeps warning about a slow-running script when attempting to select multiple items while scrolling through the list.
The functionality I need is for users to be able to bulk delete all line items in a SP list and copy (from Excel) and paste new line items into the SP list through their browser.

I am running SP Server 2013 with the Dec CU on my internal farm. This past week, I migrated 1 database containing 1 site collection (also ran the site upgrade to 2013). Prior to the migration, the users were using Datasheet View in 2010 to bulk
edit and also add attachments through the pop up window while in Datasheet View. After the migration, performance on their list using IE8 with less than 300 items was horrible for the end user and also for me as a farm admin (I'm running iE11).
I created a new view and performance seemed better for me and a slight improvement for the end user, but still not satisfying. The end user is using Chrome in the interim until I can test with IE9 to see if that makes a difference.
My main concern is the Quick Edit view. This user needs to be able to use the 2010 Datasheet View to manage attachments while in DS view. I created a new DS view on the affected list, but it still defaults back to the Quick Edit view. This
list is on 1 of 3 web apps in my internal farm. The interesting thing is that I can create a 2010 Datasheet View in a custom list on a site that was created in 2013 from scratch in another web app on my internal farm.  However, I can only do
this on 1 of 3 web apps. On my 2013 external farm, I can create a DS view in a 2013 site created from scratch in 1 of 2 web apps. Creating a list on the 2nd web app in DS view defaults the list back to Quick Edit. I checked in SharePoint
Manager thinking there was a web app feature that wasn't getting activated. There was only 1 web app feature that jumped out. Academic Library Site Safe Controls was activated on the 2 web apps I could create the 2010 Datasheet View on, but
not the other 3 web apps I could only seem to get the Quick Edit view when creating the DS view.
Is there a feature that needs to get activated or one that might need to be deactivated/reactivated?  My internal farm with the 3 web apps is running the Dec 2013 CU and the external farm w/the 2 web apps is running the March 2013
PU.
Aside from that, I've received complaints on the list performance using IE and not being able to use the 2010 datasheet functionality as noted above. I haven't received any complaints on being able to only copy 100 items in Quick Edit view at a time,
but I have also noticed that issue. In my case, the retry doesn't work and I have to delete anything over 100 items before it will save. I would like to find a resolution on this as well. Every bit of help I can get with this issue is very
much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Error about using a concatenated calculated column in a SSAS Tabular model

Hi,
in a my tabular model I've added in a dimension table a calculated column concatenating a code and a description. The code is used to create a relation between a fact table and this dimension table.
When I try to use the tabular model inside Excel and select the concatenated column as a filter I've this error message:
I've tried to recalculate some times the tabular database after the deployment of the model changes and I've tried to run a full process of the entire database but any results.
Any suggests to me in order to solve this issue, please?
Thanks

Hi, I've solved. The concatenate formula was with "+" operator and not "&".
But during the column creation I've any errors also if the model in SSDT was empty.
Bye
