GetListItems CAML query using Lookup fields

Hi,
I am struggling to find the correct CAML query syntax to use for GetListItems where I need to return an item ID based on a query involving both a lookup field (lookup is to a column within the same list) and a text field.
For Example (but changing one of the below to a lookup field):-
<soap:Body>
    <m:GetListItems>
      <m:listName>ListName</m:listName>
      <m:query>
<Query>
<Where>
    <And>
      <Eq>
        <FieldRef Name="LevelOne" />
        <Value Type="Text">"test1"</Value>
      </Eq>
      <Eq>
        <FieldRef Name="LevelTwo' />
        <Value Type="Text">"test2"</Value>
      </Eq>
    </And>
</Where>
</Query>
</m:query>
<m:viewFields>
<FieldRef Name ="ID" />
</ViewFields>
</m:viewFields>
</m:GetListItems>
</soap:Body>
Any help appreciated!

When you query a lookup column, you can choose to either query by text value or by lookup ID number (that is, the ID of the item being looked up).
Here are examples of both:
<FieldRef Name="MyLookupColumn" />
<Value Type="Lookup">Thriggle</Value>
<FieldRef Name="MyLookupColumn" LookupId="TRUE" />
<Value Type="Lookup">100</Value>

Caml query using managed metadata column

hi,
I am having a console appln, where i want to pass the one paramater in the form of siteCol1:subsite1:subsite2 where siteCol1:subsite1:subsite2 is the path of subsite which is in MMS.
Can i pass this string paramter to the splist which contains a taxonomy column   and match this paramter in the listitemcollection and fetch only those recordw which matches this crirteria.
and it should fetch the values which matches in a splist. the caml query it expects contains the taxonomy -managed metadata column - , but i am stuck with
SPList splistLIST = parenttWeb.Lists.TryGetList("LIST1");
                      if ((splistLIST.Items.Count > 0 && splistLIST!= null))
                          SPQuery   objnodeQuery = new SPQuery();
                          objnodeQuery.Query =
                              string.Format(
       "<OrderBy>" +
          "<FieldRef Name='ID' />" +
       "</OrderBy>" +
       "<Where>" +
          "<Eq>" +
             "<FieldRef Name='myTaxonomy' />" +
             "<Value Type='Text'>{0}</Value>" +
          "</Eq>" +
       "</Where>", _mcurrentPathTermSet);
                          SPListItemCollection nodeItemCollection = splistLIST1.GetItems(objnodeQuery);
am not able to retrieve the listitems which passes this as a parameter and retrieve those records where it matches this taxonomy column.
my doubt is, how to pass a string parameter to the splist contains taxonomy column and fetch those records

Hi,
Managed metada column does not supported in lookup column as the thread below:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0dee5ba4-9648-445f-a774-8c59cf01b81c/confirmation-needed-cant-lookup-managed-metadata-field-with-lookup-column?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
If you prefer managed metadata in Search, then I'd suggest you find workaround to use managed metadata column in lookup column. You could use a workflow to copy the managed metadata column to a text field, make the text field to be hidded from the list if
necessary. Then lookup this text field in other list.

Using lookup field inside dimension + data base.

Good morning,
I'm trying to create drill down for my report with the follow caracteristics.
- Regions DataObject and this contains fields from an external data source.
- Exams DataObject and this contains lookup fields which uses fields from Regions.
- Exams DataObject contains a dimension and this one has a hierachy that uses my lookup fields.
When I access my report I try to do a drill down. But an exception occurs saying that field doesn't exists.
This concept that I've tried to create is correct ? If yes , what I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks

Hi Harold,
Here's a workaround that could turn into a solution.
Make sure that you're working on a COPY of the database, as there is potential for an error to cause loss of data. The easiest way to create a copy is to do a Save as... and make a small change to the DB name. The newly named version will be the active version, preserving the "old" version from inadvertent changes.
In the "new" version:
Go Layout > Define Fields...
Define a new Calculation type field with the formula 'fieldname' , using the name of the recalcitrant field where I've used fieldname. Set the Display as button to Text (if appropriate).
Click OK, then Done. (This step is necessary to force the calculation of values for this field,)
Go Layout > Define fields... (again)
Click on the "new" field to select it.
Change its Type to Text (or to whatever type the "old" field was).
Click Modify, then Done.
Remove the "old" field from each layout where it appears, and replace it with the "new" field. Set the format in Layout for each occurence of the field.
Return to Browse, and Print a test page to check the results.
Regards,
Barry

Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only (Lookup Field).

Hi.
I am getting below error while adding value to look-up field.
Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only.
I have tried many forums ans post but didn't come to know what's the root cause of issue. I am also posting Code for creating and adding lookup field.

Try some thing like below,
your data value that needs to be update should be in this format "ID of the lookup";#"Title of the Lookup"
For example,
listItem["Product_x0020_Number"]
= "1;#iPhone";
listItem["Product_x0020_Number"]
= "2;#Mobile";
Hope this helped you....

Join two list with condition using caml query in SharePoint 2013 with client object model

Hi,
Want to join two list to get all fields from both list.
Am new to sharepoint and sharepoint 2013. Am working in sharepoint 2013 online apps. Am using context.executeQueryasync to load list and get items from list. Am able to get items from single list with caml query, but not able to get both list field values
with joins. I did lot of surfing..but not..
Below is my code..
ListName1 : "AssignedTasks"
ListName2 : "Tasks"
var assignedQueryTest = "<View><Joins><Join Type='INNER' ListAlias='Tasks'><Eq><FieldRef Name='TaskId' RefType='Id'/><FieldRef List='Tasks' Name='ID' /></Eq></Join></Joins>"
+ "<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='TitleValue' /><FieldRef Name='ActionItemsValue' /></ViewFields>"
+ "<ProjectedFields>"
+ "<Field Name='TitleValue' Type='Lookup' List='Tasks' ShowField='Title' /><Field Name='ActionItemsValue' Type='Lookup' List='Tasks' ShowField='ActionItems' />"
+ "</ProjectedFields>"
+ "</View>";
var web = context.get_web();
var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle("AssingedTasks");
var myQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
myQuery.set_viewXml(assignedQueryTest);
var myItems = list.getItems(myQuery, "Include(TitleValue,ActionItemsValue)");
context.load(myItems);
context.executeQueryAsync(function () { if(myItems.get_count()>0){....}
}, errorCallback);
Here am able to get "AssignedTasks" list field values but not able to get "Tasks" list field values.
Can you please help me to resolve the issue. Or new idea for join. I have add the condition also in the query.
If anybody have good sample, please provide.
Thanks,
Pariventhan
Pariventhan.S

Hi Pariventhan,
I don't know about join but I have a workaround of this problem.
Declare one variable (itemcollection) globally. Load all the items "AssignedTasks" using context.load.
In the success method call another CAML query using <IN> tag of the ID of the items from the second list (Assuming you have look-up column of the ID of the first list to the second list).
If this is not clear to you then please let me know. If possible then I can provide code sample.
Thanks,

Caml Query.

I have generated a caml query using caml bulider.
but when i use the same query in my code its is not working and when i test it in caml query builder tool it worked fine.
Can anyone help me on this...
Below is the caml query:
<Query>
   <Where>
      <And>
         <Eq>
            <FieldRef Name="Status" />
            <Value Type="Text">Passed</Value>
         </Eq>
         <Eq>
            <FieldRef Name="Created" />
            <Value Type="DateTime">[Today-1Day(s)]</Value>
         </Eq>
      </And>
   </Where>
</Query>

Are you getting an error or just different results than you expect? I will say that I generally nest my queries a little differently, for instance in your case I would do:
<Where>
<And>
<Eq><FieldRef Name='Created' /><Value Type='DateTime'><Today OffsetDays='-1'/></Value></Eq>
<Or>
<Eq><FieldRef Name='xyz' /><Value Type='Lookup'>Passed</Value></Eq>
<Eq><FieldRef Name='xyz' /><Value Type='Lookup'>Failed</Value></Eq>
</Or>
</And>
</Where>

I want to write a CAML query on Id based on Ascending and Descending.

Hi,
i want to write a CAML query on Id based on Ascending and Descending.
Can i write CAML query using both Ascending and Descending?
Actually my requirement is if i changed the id, Ascending and Descending will perform based on this id.

Hi,
Do you want to retrieve a set of items which are sorted based on the value of the ID column using CAML query statement?
If this is the case, you can compose and test the CAML query statement with the help of
CAML Designer which with a Graphic User Interface provided:

Join two list of integer type field using CAML query

Hi
As i am struggling in Join two sharepoint list (Roles and Emplyees). As there is no lookup columns and lists are already existing and have almost 3000 + recodrs. As a part of enhancement work need to join these list. List structure is some thing as follows:
Roles :
ID Title
1 Project Manager
2 Business Analyst
3 Developer
Employees :
Name Role
1 James 1
2 Petar 3
3 John 2
Output should be like as follows:
Name Role
1 James Project Manager
2 Petar Developer
3 John Developer
So please suggest, if the joining can be done other than lookup columns through the CAML query.
Akhilesh Rao

Follow below CAML query to add joins between two lists.
SPList list = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb.Lists["Employees"];
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Joins = @" <Join Type="INNER" ListAlias="Roles">
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="Employees" RefType="Role" />
<FieldRef List="Roles" Name="ID" />
</Eq>
</Join>";
query.ProjectedFields = @" <Field Name="RoleName" Type="Lookup" List="Roles" ShowField="Title">";
query.ViewFields = @ "<FieldRef Name="Title">
<FieldRef Name="RoleName"> ";
SPListItemCollection result = tablea.GetItems(query);

How to Filter Lookup Field Values by Current User in Caml Query

sharadpatil

Hi,
If you want to use JavaScript, we can use SPServices to achieve it.
/* Get Current username */
var userName = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({ fieldName: "Title" });
/* Get Sites assigned to current user */
var query = "<Query><Where><contains><FieldRef Name='UserName' /><Value Type='User'>" +
userName + "</Value></contains></Where></Query>";
More information is here:

Retrieve All records and display in Report using CAML query in Report Builder if Parameter value is blank

Hello Experts,
i have created a report where i have one parameter field where user will pass parameter(e.g. EmpId). As per parameter record will fetched to report if no parameter is passed then it will display all records. I have done it by taking SqlServer Database as datasource.
by using Following method
Now i would like to do it by taking Sharepoint List as Datasource. For that what would be the CAML Query.
Here is my existing CAML query.
<RSSharePointList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<ListName>Employees</ListName>

</RSSharePointList>
The above code is working if i am passing an employeeId to Parameter. If nothing is passed, it is Not retrieving any record.
Please suggest
Thank you

Your problem follows the well-established pattern of using an "All" parameter filter in SSRS. There are a few approaches depending on the size of your data. The easiest one is to return all data from CAML and then filter it within SSRS, the following thread
provides some examples,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18203317/show-all-records-some-records-based-on-parameter-value.
Other options include passing all of the possible values within the CAML query when "All" is selected, using multiple Report Files to distinguish between both CAML queries, or to use multiple datasets with some logic to show/hide the correct one.

Lookup Field with a Lookup Query on Process Form in OIM 11gR2

Does anyone know how to render a field on a process form so that when modifying the field for the resource a "Search and Select" window appears and allows the user to search for the value based on the lookup query defined for the field in Design Console? The lookup field has been defined as a lookup query through Design Console and tested by previewing the form in DC. When creating the Form through OIM System Administration the field is created as a Text Field, not a Lookup. Creating a new Field through OIM System Administration only allows you to create the field using a lookup code not using a lookup query. I've tried to remove / add the field in the UI (create sandbox, customize, etc.) and add it back as a Input LOV but it doesn't get added and the error in the logs say java.lang.RuntimeException: Input LOV is not supported for this attribute, please make this attribute searchable in order to drop this as an input LOV. The field is defined as searchable in the Form Designer in OIM System Administration. In fact I can't even add it back as an ADF Input Text Field w/ Label, I suspect I'll have to "Regenerate" the form to even get it back on the form. Any help is appreciated. Next step is to try to export the sandbox, massage and import.
Thanks,
Ryan

Finally got an answer out of Oracle after trying to figure this out as well. Apparently Lookup Queries are not supported at all by the R2 Web UI. They indicate that according to product management this will not be fixed.
