Filtering a list using multiple filters with Parameters, if one filter empty no results returned. How to fix?

Hi All,
I would assume this is a common problem. 
I am a having problems using filters on SharePoint 2013 Lists on a custom site page.
I am using the Filter (text, date, Choice) Web Parts, however due to the limitations of the filter web parts, I am also using Parameters and the Filters from within SharePoint designer.  Using this method, I am able to search date ranges and partial
text on set columns.   The problem is that I have to fill out all the filter fields in order to get any results.  If a filter is left blank then the list should only filter on the other filters.  Instead it no results are returned.
In addition, if I do set the filters, how do you reset the filters to show all records again?
Thanks

The only way I've figured out is to create a field that is always empty, e.g., a calculated text field, and use that field to "test" if the parameter is blank.  Here's an example CAML query fragment:
                <Or>
                  <Contains>
                    <FieldRef Name="WorkflowDocsDescription"/>
                    <Value Type="MultiLookup">{DocDescriptionTextFilterValue}</Value>
                  </Contains>
                  <Eq>
                    <FieldRef Name="Empty"/>
                    <Value Type="Text">{DocDescriptionTextFilterValue}</Value>
                  </Eq>
                </Or>
This may not perform well in a large list, but perhaps an index on the Empty field would remedy.

  • Using Multiple Ipods with 1 PC

    What do I need to do so that my daughter can also maintain a plat list on my PC.
    I have my play list for my ipod. She would like to have her own play list/ipod set up on my pc as well.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    See this...
    Using Multiple iPods With One Computer
    Also, you can have many different playlists set up in one iTunes library and have iPods just sync from one playlist.
    I am assuming you want two different libraries?
    Either way, see the link for more information.

  • Using multiple pens with Photoshop CS4

    Hello,
    as some of you already know, in older Photoshop versions (5.0 and 5.5) there was a possibility to use multiple pens with the help of the old Wacom Tool-ID Plugin.
    Isn't there any way to port this old plugin to Photoshop CS4? I would like to use my Airbrush & Grip Pen with different colors and brushes by simply changing them.
    If this way is impossible, would it be too difficult to create such a plugin by myself? (With the Photoshop SDK and so on).
    thanks,
    Matthias Clasen

    Thanks 99jon,
    I appreciate the careful and easy to understand reply, Jon99. Versions of P higher than CS4 are prohibitively expensive for me at this stage. If I get on with digital photography then I might look at the PCS and L CC subscription option in the future.
    I went ahead I aquired my bargain basement version of P CS4 and like it so far, but I held back on LR5 until I had a clearer view of what it enables me to do and thanks for the information.
    Do you or anyone know if I can sell my version of P CS4 when if I decide to move up to the Cloud solution? Flicking through another Pogue-style book seems to suggest that the latest versions of P CS and L are the current state-of-the-art. Is there a simple list of what users of this option consider to be the main, *essential* improvements of the latest versions of these two pieces of software that possibly make it a must-purchase. I am not after an exhaustive list, but just the main improvements that may make this an essential purchase after I cut my teeth with P CS4.
    I am a real novice and have included the specs of my camera and MacBook Pro in my previous post for anybodies info in order to help me.
    Many thanks,

  • Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

    I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).  I'd like to use multiple displays with them.  Can I do this without an Apple TV?  They are both on the same network.  If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
    Thanks!

    Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
    Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

    I have different account ID's with my iphone and computer.
    I would like to standardize both to just the one.
    One of the ID's doesn't work, when I tried to list this second email with the preferred one a message telling me that this email is already in use pops up.. yes it is, with me??
    Is there an easy to fix this please, Fabfitz

    If the email address you want to use is being used as the primary email address on a different ID you have to manage that ID and change it to a different primary email address.  This explains how: Change your Apple ID - Apple Support.
    If it is being used as an alternate or rescue address on a different ID, you manage the ID and either remove it or change it to a different email address.  This explains how: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support.

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box.

    hello,i have a macbook pro and i just recently downloaded facetime, and now i cant use it, it says An internal FaceTime error occurred,i dont know how to fix it, please help.

    If your webcam is powered by USB, make sure it is attached directly to your Mac and not a USB hub.  In my case, I had my Rocketfish webcam attached to a peripheral USB hub and it wasn't drawing enough power to operate at capacity.  Therefore, Facetime was quitting on me and giving me that exact error message.  Once I attached the webcam directly to my Mac USB port, problem solved.  Hope that helps.

  • 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"

  • Chart creation using multiple series with same name

    I'm new to Numbers and to chart creation in general, so I'm not sure if Numbers is capable of what I need. But if so, I'd like to know how...
    I have a large spreadsheet with hundreds of lines of expense data, wherein each line item falls into one of a dozen categories of expense types. I would like to create a pie chart by expense type (ie, Healthcare, Automotive, Travel, etc), but Numbers wants to treat each line item as a separate expense, even though many of them share the same name. So I'm getting multiple pie slices that all say "Travel" and so forth. I really just want one pie slice for Travel, one for Auto, etc.
    So how can I make Numbers calculate the subtotals for each expense type and use those subtotals to create the chart? Is there a way to do this within the chart function or do I need to create a separate table for just the subtotals (not sure how to do that either) or what?
    Thanks!

    It appears that I missed your question.
    Here is a way to treat the problem:
