How to use SharePoint Metadata in MS Excel
Hi,
I would like to use the metadata from a SharePoint library in an Excel file without a VBA scripts. How can I get these metadata into an Excel file?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
In MS Word we have the possibility to use a library's metadata by using "Quick Parts" and "Document Properties". Unfortunatly, MS Word is not very confortable in contrast to MS Excel. Therefore we are looking for a solution to use the metadata of a sharepoint
library in an Excel sheet.
For example: We have implemented a customized Excel file with calculated columns. This excel file should be a, lets say a measurement protocol.
By creating a new document (Excel Template) we want to add only the measurements. The metadata shall appear within the template. (LookUps, Date, Responsible, ID, etc.)
Export the data into an excel file is very redundant. Because you have the data inside the library and in the excel file. Copying, Sending, Renaming, etc.. I just was wondering why MS Word has this option and MS Excel not? Do you know how I can use those
metadata from SharePoint?
Thanks in advance.

How to Use Web Printing with Microsoft Excel
Hello,
In the recent How to paper on Use Web Printing with Microsoft Excel, describes few ABAP classes and methods. Can those classes be modified to access much more Microsoft excel objects , such as Macro ? Does any body has tried in those lines ? Any suggestions is eagerly awaited.
regs
D BretHi BW people,
Since we want to modify our reports for printing (and the How-To about enhancement of web printing does not really answer to our requirements) it seems that the Excel alternative is just what we were looking for.
Unfortunately I have been working with these classes for 6 hours now to get a very simple Excel file, but without success. I did fix the bug like Thomas Kauffman told on the forum, changed the dataprovider and prefixes and I followed every single step of the How-To document(also the check of folder options to open/save the .xls file),... The only thing that happens: the URL has changed (bookmark) and the page is reloaded again.
So no Excel file, neither a dialogue box. I also walked -a very long time- through the code (in debugging mode) starting from ZCL_RSR_XLS_HELP_WINDOW_PRINT->PROCESS_CMD but I can't find anything!
Is there anybody with the same problem and -better- with a possible solution to it?
Thank you very much in advance! -

How to use Sharepoint Modal Popup loader in Sharepoint-Hosted Apps
Hi,
I have a requirement to use a modal popup as loader in SharePoint-Hosted Apps. I have used this like following-
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showWaitScreenWithNoClose(
'Please Wait',
'while we retrieve...',
'400',
'600');
But it does not work if we have "SP.Js" and "SP.runtime.js" included in the page. If we remove the mentioned script, then only modal works, but other functionality related to "Sp.Js" does not work.
Please let me know if there is any solution for the problem.

How to use Sharepoint 2013 img file
Hi,
I downloaded Sharepoint 2013 as an img file. I am trying to install it on VMWare 5.1 which only accepts ISO files. How can I convert the img file to ISO or what other workarounds are available?
I already tried renaming the file to ISO, but it didn't work.
ThanksHi WaelS,
If you want to use img file in VMWare, you may need to convert the img file to ISO, as VMWare doen't support img file.
Please do as the followings to convert the img file to iso:
1. Unzip the files
2. Open a command prompt (Start > Run > type cmd, press Enter)
3. Browse to the folder where the unzipped files are (cd "c:\Windows ISO Files")
4. Considering that you are in the folder containing the files command prompt, type
copy /b file1+file2+file3+file4+file5 file.iso
4a. Check that the files have no extension. If they have, the command changes to something like:
copy /b file1.ext+file2.ext+file3.ext+file4.ext+file5.ext file.iso
4b. If there aren't *any* other files in the folder, typing this should be enough:
copy /b *.* dvd_file.iso
If you still have question about the issue, I suggest you can post a thread in corresponding forum, you will get more helpful information from there.

How to use Properties Metadata global service using KM API's
Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to get the list of property Namespaces configured in the KM Portal and also all property Names associated with each Namespace.
I was able to see the list of Namespaces in KM portal at "ContentManagement --> Global Services --> Property Metadata --> Namespaces"
Is there any way to access the Property Metadata service and get the list of Namespaces?
I have seen few posts using the IPropertyConfigurationService as below:
IPropertyConfigurationService configService;
try {
configService =
(IPropertyConfigurationService) ResourceFactory
.getInstance()
.getServiceFactory()
.getService("PropertyConfigurationService");
} catch (PropertyConfigurationServiceException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
I am not sure if IPropertyConfigurationService has API's to give the list of Namespaces as I was not able to figure out the jar file in which API's related to IPropertyConfigurationService exists.
Will the IPropertyConfigurationService be useful to fetch all the configured Namespaces? If so, which jar file should I place in my build and class path?
Also, Can I get the property names associated with each namespace?
Any help or hint is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Suresh.Hi Praveen,
Thanks for the information on km.shared.service.propertyconfig_api.jar file. I have located the file in the mentioned location and was using it sucessfully.
I was able to use IPropertyConfigurationService and fetch the MetaData properties in the Portal application.
But, when I place the same code on WebDynpro application it doesn't work.
I have placed the km.shared.service.propertyconfig_api.jar in lib folder of the WebDynpro project, but on runtime I get ClassNotFound exceptions of various classes.
I was wondering if there is any configuration that need to be mentioned for accessing KM Portal applications in WebDynpro.
I have found one post related to this which was talking about using IPropertyConfigurationService in WebDynpro, but not directly, using EJB
Link:[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=338383]
Can you throw some hints on how to go about this issue.
Thanks,

How to use sharepoint online lists in different subsites as a datasource to powerpivot
My customer has sharepoint online + project online.
As you might know each project has a site, and in each site there are lists with the same name on each site.
We need a pivot table where we can aggregate all that list data, is this possible? Do I need powerbi, or can I do it without power bi?
Can u guide me in the right direction?
Follow me on Twitter
levalencia BlogI opened a ticket with MS support on this. They concluded that there is no means of scheduling an auto-refresh when you are aggregating more than one SharePoint list as your data source. They recommended buying a third party product to accomplish
this. Below is the relevant text I received from MS tech support for my ticket....
CAUSE: This is by design. The functionality needed for this is not currently implemented.
RESOLUTION: We were able to find a 3<sup>rd</sup> party tool that may be able to schedule refresh for these
reports (http://www.powerpivotpro.com/2015/02/introducing-power-update/)
TROUBLESHOOTING:
We assessed the report. It seemed that a Power Query data source needed to be created within Power BI, so we attempted to create that:
We were prompted to create a default gateway, even though the data was O365 data
We were only able to find references directly related to on-premise data sources and the default gateway
We attempted to find a workaround for this particular situation. We attempted the following configurations:
PowerPivot report populated by SharePoint lists
Excel report implementing SharePoint lists with the Data tab
Connecting the report to a SharePoint Document Library data source
Using OData feed for report
*All of the above configurations were unsuccessful
Additional Information
Even if a gateway could be created for the report, it would require Anonymous or Windows Authentication. O365 data sources require Claims Authentication.
Scheduled refresh can be made for SQL Azure data sources. However, this would require configuring some type of automatic refresh for the SQL Azure data source itself to populate with the SharePoint list
data. -

How to use sharepoint CSS in asp:gridview
Hello
How can I implement sharepoint css (blueone) with asp:gridview for header, footer, rowtemplate etc?
AviHi, Avikumar
Developer Toolbar is a recommended tool for UI and CSS design, also you can check this for moss css style
http://www.heathersolomon.com/content/sp07cssreference.htm
And for displaying data with SharePoint style, you can use SPGridView instead of gridview. The SPGridView control provides a great alternative for displaying tabular data in SharePoint-based solutions.
Here are some links for this:

I’m a new owner currently working on moving my concert video collection (.mp4 and .m4v files) to the iPod Touch. I’d like to find a way to use one of the metadata fields to store an abbreviated song listing and then display it at my request when viewing the video on the iPod device. Typically a field of 250-300 characters has been required for this. I’m running iTunes on a Windows PC.
I’ve used “Get Info” to call up the dialog box with the various tabs and fields, entered test data in likely spots (Comments, Description fields, etc) but after a sync operation is completed, none of it appears to be available for display when viewing the video on the iPod.
The text I enter in the Video description field IS displayed in the description column of the library listing in iTunes on the PC, so I know my data is being stored, and at least the iTunes software in the listing format can retrieve and display it.
On a related item, I expected to see my description text entered on the Video tab when I right-click the video, then click Show Description. But the window that pops up is named “Information” and it is always blank.
So, I guess it is clear that I don’t understand how this is all supposed to work. Could someone please explain some of this to me or get me pointed in the right direction?
Thanks!

Tap the album cover and the art dims as the lyric text is superimposed over it, and you can finger scroll up and down if necessary. Tap again and the lyrics are gone.
But.... doesn't seem to work with videos - just music. -
How to use SharePoint integration in Adobe Reader XI?
Acrobat XI and Reader XI are now offering a SharePoint integration feature, supporting SharePoint 2010 and 2013.
In 'Adobe Enterprise Administration Guide' there are some requirements mentioned for SharePoint, saying that there is a Acrobat License necessary for every client computer!
Does that mean, that I can only use the SharePoint Integration in Adobe Reader with an additional Acrobat license?
Has anybody tried this?

How to use a datagrid as an excel sheet
Hi
I m new to flex.I want to use a datagrid such that it behaves as a excel sheet .So I can give every column(cell) a different formula and this can be dynamically updated every time I change the input say through a numeric stepper may be.
If code help can be provided it will be very helpful as I m still trying to learn it.
Thanks a lot
NikiDataGrid is not written to work as a spreadsheet. It will be a lot of work. I think some third-parties have done somethings like it.

How do use iCloud with Microsoft word, excel and power point? are they compatible
i am trying to use i cloud with mircosoft word and excel but i am not sure if its compatible. do i first need to purchase pages?
The kernel failure panic kind of message points to some other activity;
as such, it may be there could be a conflict in some applications; as a
logical failure is indicated by the first part of the message content.
Whether or not any common kernel panic resolution ideas could work
in regard to the trigger of this action, is another matter & unresolved.
Reading and understanding the resulting logs is part of this resolution;
the following link has information on these kinds of issues in general.
Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2063.html
Resolving Kernel Panics:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
If there were more, perhaps from another error log in the system, to
point to other contributing factors in the cause of this action & report,
some course of correction could be indicated; should that involve a
reinstall of certain programs (and their update files, as Office has) or
perhaps removing other seldom used applications if they were proven
to be part of conflict in the system, with Office triggering its appearance.
Some troubleshooting of this issue may point to some course of action
and if the problem is only software-based, then it may involve testing
or moving, or reinstalling some applications. There is a chance, too,
that something else may be acting up at a low-level of the system. If
that were the case, sometimes a re-install of the system on a wiped
and zeroed drive would be a path to consider to test or resolve this.
But only after other things have been tried. If you have a full backup
of the computer's contents on a bootable external drive, that would be
a means of testing the computer itself.
Good luck & happy computing!
