Excel Table with SharePoint Data Connection - Manual Text Entry Misaligned After Refresh

Greetings!
I have an Excel 2010 workbook that includes a table linked to my SharePoint 2013 site by a data connection. The SharePoint list feeds the table standard information that's managed on the SharePoint site, but I need the user of the Excel workbook to be able
to enter text manually in the workbook to associate local information with the line-items coming from the SharePoint list. To do this, I've added extra columns to the end of the table.
The user can enter information in the appropriate cells in the "extra" columns at the end of the table, but when I refresh the data connection, the addition of a new list item on the SharePoint side results in the user's manually entered text getting
out of alignment with the row it's supposed to be associated with.
Example
Column 1(SP)
Column 2(Extra)
Row 1
Item 1
Row 2
Item 2
Text entered for Item 2
Row 3
Item 3
Then, if I add a new item to the list in SharePoint, for example, something that would appear between the original items 1 & 2, after refreshing the table, I get the following:
Column 1(SP)
Column 2(Extra)
Row 1
Item 1
Row 2
New Item 1.5
Text entered for Item 2
Row 3
Item 2
Row 4
Item 3
The table's data connection is set to insert rows for new items, and I could swear I had this working properly once upon a time...but I can't seem to make it work now.
Any thoughts on what would cause this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Eric,
>>but it seems that by extending the table itself to encompass both the SharePoint-sourced columns and the additional columns, that an association would be created between all columns for a given row in the table, no?<<
From my understanding, the answer is no.
Another example:
I have an additional column named "Column2" and an external column named "ID" (see "before").
After I add a new record and refresh this table, Excel will keep the last row in "column2" and add an empty cell in the second last row. (See "After")
If I delete the eighth data and refresh this table, Excel will still keep the last row and remove the last second cell.
In your case, if you insert a new record in the middle of the data and refresh this table, Excel will synchronized the external data and add a new cell in the additional column in the second last row.
From my understanding, Excel will always change the second last row to suit for deleting or adding record.
Hope this helps.

Yes, it is. I realized after posting the first time, that I'd assigned the question to the Visio forum. I wasn't sure how to reassign to the correct (Excel) forum, so I re-posted over there:

Restoring a deleted column in Excel from a SharePoint Data Connection view

I used the "Export to Spreadsheet" option for a SharePoint document library to create my working report. I created a special view for this as I did not want all of the columns in my export. I build my report on a seperate tab in Excel
around this exported data and it has been working great. I recently added a new column to the view on SharePoint but it does not show up when I refresh my data. I tried manually adding the column, evening ensuring it was in the same orderl;
still no luck. The Connection file does not exist so I cannot edit the owssvr.iqy. All I have is the connection string and command text. I created a new workbook to see if the command string changed because of the new column but it did not.
I don't want to rebuild my report from scratch just because I added a new column, but it appears that may be the only option I have unless someone can answer my question.
Question: How can I get a new column from a view added to an existing data connection query?

Hi,
First, make sure you have added the new column into the view as well as the list.
Second, try to use "MSQuery" feature in Excel to check the issue.
For more information about MSQuery, please refer to the following link:

The goal is to synchronize an excel sheet using Microsoft Excel 2010 with Sharepoint 3.0

The goal is to synchronize an excel sheet using Microsoft Excel 2010 with Sharepoint 3.0. We have already installed an add-in (Excel 2007 Add-in: Synchronizing Tables with SharePoint Lists) that was supposed
to help the synchronization of excel to Sharepoint, but it did not work. We would like to synchronize information about a calendar from excel to Sharepoint 3.0, so every time a change is made in excel it automatically updates in Sharepoint.

ootb, changes in excel don't sync with a SharePoint list, the other way around is possible.

Problem import excel table with photos

When I import excel table with photos, the photos don't appear

Welcome to Project Siena!
If you're seeing an 'x' instead of your photo in the data source it's possible that Project Siena can't access the directory. Try saving your images in another folder such as C:\Users\Public\Pictures.
Others have also reported that if the Library isn't set up correctly in Windows 8 that they've had issues.
Here are some posts to look at while we wait for additional information from you:
Importing local images via an Excel file
Siena Gallery unable to load image
Images in Public Pictures directories showing
up as X in Img from URL
(fyi - this last post's screenshot will look different than yours as it was from Beta 1.)

How to fill internal table with no data in debugging mode

Hi all,
I modified one existing program.Now I want to test it.I am not given test data.So in the middle of my debugging, I found that one internal table with no data.My problem is how to fill that internal table with few records in that debugging mode just as we change contents in debugging mode.If I want to proceed further means that internal table must have some records.
Please I dont know how to create test data so I am trying to create values temporarily in debugging mode only.
Thanks,
Balaji

Hi,
In the debugging do the following..
Click the Table button..
Double click on the internal table name..
Then in the bottom of the screen you will get the buttons like CHANGE, INSERT, APPEND, DELETE..
Use the APPEND button to insert records to the internal table..
Thanks,
Naren

Numbers does not have rotated text within cells. You can place a text box over the cell that has rotated text but you cannot rotate text within a cell.

Query on a table with indexed date field

I have a table with a date column which is indexed. If I run a query like "select column1 where date_field='20-JAN-04' for example it is fast and uses index.
If I run select column1 where date < '20-JAN-04' it is slow and doesnt use the index. I logged a TAR and Oracle told me that this is to be expected as not using the index in this case is the most effiecient way of doing the query.
Now my concept of an index is like the index of Yellow Pages(telephone directory) for example. In this example if I look for a name that is say "Halfords" or below, I can see all entries for Halfords and all the way to ZZZ in one block.
I just cant see , in a common sense way why Oracle wont use the index in this type of query.
George

Using the concept of a telephone directory is wrong. In a telephone directory you have all information order by the name. However in your table (if it is not an IOT) you don't have all information/rows ordered by your date_field. Rather think at the document "Oracle9i Database Concepts" and it's index.
Let's say you want to find all indexed words larger then "ISO SQL standard" (ok that doesn't make sense but it is just an example). So would it be faster to read the whole document or to lookup each word in the index and then read the entire page (Oracle block) to find the word.
It's not allways easy to know in advance if the query will be faster over the index or a full table scan. what you need to do is to well analyze (dbms_stats) the table and it's index, in most cases Oracle chooses the right way. You may also use the hint /*+ index(table_name index_name) */ and will see if it would be faster over the index or not.

How To Create Table with Static Data

JDEV 10.1.3
ADF BC
ADF Faces
I am trying to make some simple screen/screenflow diagrams to help flesh out some requirements. To do that, I need to make a table with static data that is not hooked up to a data source (because the data model has not yet been clearly defined, and I'm using the diagrams to help iterate the requirements).
Is it possible to create a table that shows static data (i.e. a set of rows that does not come from a model data source, but rather is hardcoded.)
If not, how does one create mock ups without actually implementing the data model?
Thank you.

Deepak, what specifically in those 2 links from Amis are useful? Those 2 posts are about bind variables, not static list of values?
In response to the original poster, I'll attempt to help a little more.
In the 11g release you can create VOs based on a static list of values. However in your case on 10.1.3, the best method I've found is to create a VO based on a SELECT <columns> FROM DUAL statement. The columns then include your dummy data. If you need more than one row, simply UNION ALL a number of SELECT statements together.
What I haven't checked, is when you eventually transform the VO based on the SELECT DUAL statement into a VO based on an EO drawing real data from the database, is it an easy process? I recommend you try this out before committing to the approach above. Let us know how you go.

CM.

Web Analysis : populate the same table with multiple data sources

Hi folks,
I would like to know if it is possible to populate a table with multiple data sources.
For instance, I'd like to create a table with 3 columns : Entity, Customer and AvgCostPerCust.
Entity and Customer come from one Essbase, AvgCostPerCust comes from HFM.
The objective is to get a calculated member which is Customer * AvgCostPerCust.
Any ideas ?
Once again, thanks for your help.

I would like to have the following output:
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
File 2 - Store 4 - Query A + Store 4 - Query B
File 3 - Store 5 - Query A + Store 5 - Query B
the bursting level should be give at
File 1 - Store 2 - Query A + Store 2 - Query B
so the tag in the xml has to be split by common to these three rows.
since the data is coming from the diff query, and the data is not going to be under single tag.
you cannot burst it using concatenated data source.
But you can do it, using the datatemplate, and link the query and get the data for each file under a single query,
select distinct store_name from all-stores
select * from query1 where store name = :store_name === 1st query
select * from query2 where store name = :store_name === 2nd query
define the datastructure the way you wanted,
the xml will contain something like this
<stores>
<store> </store> - for store 2
<store> </store> - for store 3
<store> </store> - for store 4
<store> </store> - for store 5
<stores>
now you can burst it at store level.

Try removing then reinserting the SIM card; it may just not be connecting fully. If that doesn't work, the SIM card may be corrupt (it happens), and you can get a new one at no charge at a Verizon corporate store, or by calling customer service (800) 922-0204.
