Batch Operation for LookUp Column in SharePoint

Hi
I am trying insert bulk data into list.
For that I am using Batch Process .But the problem i am facing is if the column of type is "LookUp" I am not able to apply batch
Can you please help me like "What is the column format in Batch Operation for "LookUp column.
Thanks
Siddartha

Hi Siddartha,
The structure of the look column is id;#Value, so you can set the lookup column like this:
<Method ID='2' Cmd='New'><Field Name='CustomerID'>1;#Cust_1</Field></Method>.
You can refer to the link below:

How do I strip special characters in SSRS for Lookup columns with Multiple Selections?

Hello all,
Please let me know if I am posting in the wrong location.
I am building reports against my SharePoint List (actually a library). 1 of the columns I want to display in the report is a Lookup column that allows Multiple lookups. Problem is that the SharePoint Web Service call GetListItems returns the values with the item id and ";#" combination. For example:
122;#Apple;#112;#Carrot
but I need the following format:
Apple, Carrot
Following this great article posting - http://www.sharepointu.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx
I was able to drop the first part using the following code
function GetNameFromSP(pFullID as string) as string
dim strRet as string
dim iPos as integer
if pFullID = nothing then return ""
if pFullID = "" then return ""
iPos = Instr(pFullID, ";")
if iPos < 1 then return pFullID
return Mid(pFullID, iPos +2)
end function
But it does not replace the subsquent id references.
Anyone done this before that can provide me tips?
Thanks!

All,
Here is the updated code that resolves my issue (a coworker of mine provided the following code):
Function TrimMultiLookup(ByVal s As String) As String
        Dim combStr As String
        Dim array As String()
        Dim c As Integer
        combStr = String.Empty
        array = Split(s, ";#")
        Console.WriteLine(array.Length)
        For c = 1 To array.Length - 1 Step 2
            combStr += array(c) + ", "
        Next
        Return Left(combStr, combStr.Length - 2)
    End Function

Title and description for lookup column

Hopefully this can be simple. I am working on development in SharePoint 2010 but I do NOT think that it is specific to 2013 or 2010, I am migrating to 2013 in a month or so (hopefully!)
Requirement:
Display lookup list for Server Name (Title) and Server Description (Description)
Problem:
I have a custom list with 2 columns, title and description, both text fields. I am using that list as a lookup to my other custom list.
The graphic below has 2 windows squished into it. The middle window is the list pulling the data from, the lookup list.
The graphic to the right is the issue that I am running into. I create the column and hopefully I can use the lookup column with the title column AND THEN the additional fields for the Description! It DOES appear, but AFTER I fill out the form.
The form is on the left part of the graphic below.
I see the server names or "Title" but I can't even "hover" over it and see the description! I don't know how to present the description lookup in the form when I do "new item." Is this something that 2010 / 2013
can do and OOTB or do I need designer? I don't code so I can't use VS.
Thank you!
Matt

Thank you, I created a calculated column, using Microsoft's recommendations below, and Scott's!
Calculated Field Formulas -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb862071.aspx
The result shows below. the 3rd column is the Server and Description, with the calculated column, "merging" the two text into one, with a space and a dash in the middle to separate them. The list is below and the "look up". The black section
is my new form or add new item, where I would select multiple servers based on their server name and their description.

Setting default value for lookup column in Sharepoint 2013 via powershell

Hi,
when I try to use the 2010 version of setting a default value to a lookup column ( colum.defaultvalue="1;#Open"), this is not longer supported in SharePoint 2013. The defaultvalue is always the alphabetically sorted first entry in the source
list.
How can I change this?
Thanks for any help.
Lutz

Hi Lutz,
You can set the default value of a look-up column. The code is very simple, just need to take care of the code below.
$w = Get-SPWeb http://web
$l = $w.Lists["MyDocumentLibrary"]
$lf = $l.Fields["lookupColumn"]
$i = $l.Items[0] #List item to update
$lf.ParseAndSetValue($i,"1;#lookupvalue") #1;#lookupvalue refers to the ID of the lookup item and the value of the lookup item.
$i.Update()
As another example, if I wanted to update all the items in my document library that had the lookup value
Pending, with the lookup value Complete;
$w = Get-SPWeb http://myweb
$l = $w.Lists["MyDocumentLibrary"]
$lf = $l.Fields["lookupColumn"]
foreach($i in $l.Items)
if($i["lookupColumn"] -eq "1;#Pending")
$lf.ParseAndSetValue($i,"2;#Complete")
$i.Update()

How to change the background color for lookup column options in sharepoint 2007

Hi,
I have a custom List with 10 fields,and in the edit form we want to display only 6 fields,
So I have customized it with sharepoint designer 2007 ,designed a new custom edit form(Insert->ShaerPoint Controls->Custom List Form)
We are using IE8 Browser,and the site has JQuery 1.8 loaded .
The lookup columns is getting rendered as textbox and dropdown arrow image,instead of select html element.
When we click on arrow image,its displaying the values magically,So I am unable to highlight the options with text "ABC" in yellow background color
basically in the input textbox its storing all the lookup values as "ID|value "in choices attribute (I saw this in browser dev tools)
I tried to set the textbox color everytime it loses focus using blur,however its always returning the previous value instead of current selected value.
Is there any way we can achieve this,Any solutions/thoughts
Thanks everyone..

hi i bet you need to amend your jquery script to get onclick values and put it with like append HTML if you want to use Jquery.
Also did you know you could use javascript in calculated column with type number?

List Views displaying error - when using Lookup column for filtering ( which are indexed )

I'm trying to filter a large list that has more items than the list view threshold. The list has a lookup column that is indexed. If I try to filter by other columns, the view works fine as long as it returns fewer than 5,000 items. However, if
I try to filter by the lookup column, I get the error about not being able to display the items because the list is too large.
The views are returning items which are less than threshold value , but still I am seeing the same issue.I Created some pages and added this filtered views to the pages it is showing below error
This view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold ....
IF I navigate the view in the list it's returning zero records with out any error page . But no records.
Is there a known issue with filtering large lists by lookup column? Any other troubleshooting suggestions? Everything I'm doing here is through the web interface.

Thank you for your reply. Yeah it’s default limit. But when I created view based on some filter condition on lookup column it’s not working.
For example:
Created a View based on Lookup column DEPT using filter condition Dept = HR , returned 1400 items
Created another View based on Lookup column DEPT using filter condition Dept=Admin , returned 3600 items
Adding this list view webparts to the page also working fine , displaying the results .
After adding one item to this list , both the views are not displaying any results. Now the count is 5001.(it exceeded the list view threshold)
The page where the list view web parts are added throwing the below error.
This view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold (5000 items) enforced by the administrator.
To view items, try selecting another view or creating a new view. If you do not have sufficient permissions to create views for this list, ask your administrator to modify
the view so that it conforms to the list view threshold.
Learn about
creating views for large lists.
I am experiencing this problem only with lookup columns, Choice and site columns are working fine in this same situation .
Thanks,

Disbaling a value of a lookup column not to display the underlying record

I have a lokup column to a different list.
So, when it displays the record the data is displayed in hyperlinked way so that when we click on the hyperlink, it will take us to the view form of that record in a different list.
Could you please let me know, how do we make the hyperlinkdisplay as normal text just like any other column other than the title column value.
tnx

Hi,
Thanks for posting your issue, To remove your Hyperlink for lockup column you need to replace below tag
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="@mycolumn"/>
By:
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="substring-after(substring-before(substring-after(@mycolumn, 'ID='), '<'), '>')"/>
Also, browse the below mentioned URL for more details

Hi
XantosX5 ,
Thank you for your posting!
According to your description, I try to reproduce your scenario in my SharePoint Server 2013 environment.
I create a lookup column in a list and create a workflow 2013 for the list. In the workflow, I add Send an email action. Then I display the lookup column in the body of the email as the below figure:
When I start the workflow, it works fine.
Have you installed
the workflow manager 1.0 cumulative update 1 ? It can be the point. If not, please install it.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

[Forum FAQ] SharePoint 2013: Extracting values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and merge values to a multi-value enabled column

For some business requirements, users want to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column
and add items to another list based on each separate value. In contrast, others want to find duplicate values in the list and merge associated values to a multi-value enabled column and then
add items to another list based on the merged value. All of these can be achieved using SharePoint Designer 2013 Workflow.
How to extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and add items to another list based
on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Loop Shape; Utility Actions
Three scenarios

Steps to create Workflow
How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
Important actions: Call HTTP Web Service; Build Dictionary
Things to note
Steps to create Workflow
How to
extract values from a multi-value enabled lookup column and
add items to another list based on each separate value using SharePoint Designer 2013.
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to
extract values from the Destinations column
in Lookup2 and add items to Lookup3 based on each country and set Title to current item: ID.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).\
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Important action
1. Loop Shape: SharePoint Designer 2013 support two types of loops: loop n times and loop with condition.
Loops must also conform to the following rules:
Loops must be within a stage, and stages cannot be within a loop.
Steps may be within a loop.
Loops may have only one entry and one exit point.
2. Utility Actions: It contains many actions, such as ‘Extract Substring from Index of String’ and ‘Find substring in String’.
Three scenarios
We need to loop through the string returned from the look up column and look for commas. There are three
scenarios:
1. No comma but string is non-empty so there is only one country.
2. At least one comma so there is at least two or more countries to loop.
3. In the loop we have consumed all the commas so we have found the last country.
Things to note
There are two things to note:
1. "Find string in string (output to Variable:index)" will return -1 if doesn't find
the searched for string.
2. In the opening statement "Set Variable: Countries to Current Item:Destinations" set the return
field as "Lookup Values, Comma Delimited".
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Destinations (Lookup; Get information from: Lookup1 in Title column).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup2.
Add conditions and actions:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup2, then workflow will be started automatically and create multiple items to lookup3.
See the below in workflow History List:
How to merge values to a multi-value enabled column and add item to another list based on the
merged value using SharePoint Designer 2013
For example, they have three lists as below. They want to find duplicate values in the Title column in
Lookup3 and merge country column to a multi-value enabled column and then add item to lookup2 and set the Title to Current Item: Title.
Lookup1:
Title (Single line of text)
Lookup3:
Title (Single line of text), Country (Single line of text).
Lookup2:
Title (Single line of text), Test (Single line of text).
Important actions
"Call HTTP Web Service"
action: In SharePoint 2013 workflows, we can call a web service using a new action introduced in SharePoint 2013 named Call HTTP Web Service. This action
is flexible and allows you to make simple calls to a web service easily, or, if needed, you can create more complex calls using HTTP verbs as well as allowing you to add HTTP headers.
“Build Dictionary"
action:
The Dictionary variable type is a new variable type in the SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
The following are the three actions specifically designed for the Dictionary variable type: Build Dictionary, Count Items in a Dictionary and Get an Item from a Dictionary.
The "Call HTTP Web Service" workflow action would be useless without the new "Dictionary" workflow action.
Things to note
The
HTTP URI is set to https://sitename/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('listname')/items?$orderby=Id%20desc and the HTTP method is set to “GET”. Then the list will be sort by Id in descending order.
Use Get
d/results(0)/Id form
Variable: ResponseContent (Output to
Variable: maxid) to get the Max ID.
Use Set
Variable: minid to Current List:ID to get the Min ID.
Use Copy from
Variable: destianation , starting at
1 (Output to
Variable: destianation) to remove the space.
Steps to create Workflow
Create a custom list named Lookup1.
Create a custom list named Lookup2, add column: Test (Single line of text).
Create a custom list named Lookup3, add column: Country (Single line of text).
Create a workflow associated to Lookup3.
Add a new "Build Dictionary" action
to define the http request header:
Add a Call HTTP Web Serviceaction, click on
this and paste your http request.
To associate the
RequestHeader variable, select the Call action property,
set the
RequestHeaders property to
RequestHeader:
In the Call action, click on
response and associate the response to a new
variable: ResponseContent (of type Dictionary).
After the Call action add Get item from Dictionary action to get the Max ID.
Add Set Workflow Variable action to get the Min ID.
Add Loop Shape (Loop with Condition) to get all the duplicate titles and integrate them to a string.
Create item in Lookup2.
The final Stage should look like this:
Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add item to Lookup3, then workflow will be started automatically and create item to lookup2.
See the below in workflow History List:

GREAT info, but it may be helpful to note that when replacing a portion of the variable "Countries" with a whitespace character, you may cause the workflow to fail in a few specific cases (certain lookup fields will not accept this and will automatically
cancel). I only found this out when recreating your workflow on a similar, but much more complex list set.
To resolve this issue, I used another utility action (Extract Substring from Index of List) to clear out the whitespace. I configured it as "Copy from
Variable: Countries, starting at
1 (Output to Variable: Countries), which takes care of this issue in those few cases.
Otherwise, WOW! AWESOME JOB! Thanks! :)

Reading values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013

We are able to read the values of text, number columns through custom workflow (via coding) in SharePoint 2013. However, we are not able to read values from lookup columns. So, request anyone to provide help on this.
Thanks & regards,
Aditya

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to read values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013.
Since the workflow just doesn't get lookup fields, let's give it something static to work with instead. If we can capture the ID of the lookup field and store that as a static value in our list, the workflow can happily use that to look up our related.
For more information, you can refer to:

How to create a view based on Lookup Column?

Hi All,
I am working as a SharePoint developer 2013.
When i tried to create a view based on look up column it is not showing lookup column.
How to fix this problem?
Please help me out here.
Thanks & Regards,
Santhoshi

can you elaborate the issue? Do you mean you cannot view the column name in the filter section when creating a new view for the list or the column is not getting displayed in the view created?
--Cheers

Is there a way to have tooltips for every column in a TableView?

Hi there!
I found in documentation that any node and control can show a tooltip ( http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/control/Tooltip.html ) but I can't get tooltips to work for TableColumn (a column from TableView).
Do you have any idea how could I have tooltips for each column of the table view?

TableColumn's are neither controls nor nodes, so you can neither set nor install tooltips on them.
You can use cellfactories to set tooltips on cells generated from the factories.
You can use css style lookups (node.lookup function) to get access to table nodes (such as the headers) after the tableview has been displayed on a stage and then manipulate the displayed nodes to add tooltips. It's not a great approach, but it is the only approach I know at the moment that would work.

Is there a way to Insert Data into a Lookup Column Type on a SharePoint List Destination in SSIS?

Greetings.
I have successfully worked out inserting SQL data (2008 R2) into my 2010 SharePoint list (New, Update, Delete) by creating an SSIS Data Flow Task as outlined here:
http://fsugeiger.blogspot.com/2010/01/synchronise-sql-table-with-sharepoint.html
However, the problem I am running into is inserting data into the SharePoint Columns that are "Lookup" column types. I verified that all of the values I am copying from SQL into the SharePoint lookup column exist in the customn list it is pointing to. It
is important to have this column be a lookup column as it links to another custom list that has many more columns of related information.
I have read and re-read the SharePoint SSIS Adapters 2011.docx from
http://sqlsrvintegrationsrv.codeplex.com/ and the only section that seems to apply is this:
"Looking Up Values in a SharePoint List
If you have to look up a value in a SharePoint list, you can use the Lookup transformation in your data flow, and use the SharePoint List source to load the lookup table. You may have to add a Derived Column transformation or a Script component that splits
data in the lookup column on the ";#" delimiter to separate the ID value from the description.
If you are replacing values in your data with the values that you look up in the list, then loading the changed data back into SharePoint, you only have to include the ID from the lookup column. SharePoint ignores the description if you include it."
I am not sure if the above statement means that I should be passing the assocaited ID's other than the actual data into the SharePoint List destination. If that is the case, that will not really work as the lookup contains hundreds of rows. Not too mention
I have several of these lookup column types pointing to several different lists.
Any guidance in how I can put data into a SharePoint Lookup column type via Data Flow Task would be so much appreaciated.
Thank you.
My errors are:
Error: 0x0 at Data Flow Task, SharePoint List Destination: Error on row ID="1": 0x1 - Unspecified error, such as too many items being updated at once (batch), or an invalid core field value.
Error: 0xC0047062 at Data Flow Task, SharePoint List Destination [1903]: Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer.SSIS.SharePointListAdapters.PipelineProcessException: Errors detected in this component - see SSIS Errors at Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer.SSIS.SharePointListAdapters.SharePointListDestination.ProcessInput(Int32

component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will

I have found a solution to my problem and thought I would share it here in case there are others who are struggling with the above scenario. If you have a better way, I would love to hear about it since my way is a bit tedious.
In a nutshell, in order to have an SSIS package put data from an OLE DB Source into a SharePoint List Destination Lookup Column, you need to pass the ID of the value that is being looked up, not the value that is in the “master” OLE DB source.
Rough explanation, OLE DB Source value for column “Approp” is “4005” --> SQL matches “4005” with the ID in the new lookup table (“4005” = ID “5” as defined in the SharePoint lookup list) --> “5” gets passed into SharePoint List destination lookup
column --> SharePoint displays “4005” and successfully links to the lookup list.
Funny thing (not really), the error(s) outlined in my original post are not related in getting data into a SharePoint Lookup column as I am now successful in getting data into the system but I am still getting the same above error(s). I think it has to do
with the ID column in the SharePoint list destination. What I can’t seem to figure out is why since I am not linking any data to that ID column (at least on new records). I am however linking it on Update and Delete and the errors mentioned above disappear
and things work well.
There are three tasks that need to get done in order to get data from SQL into a SharePoint lookup column assuming you have already set up your SharePoint lookup lists:
1. Create new lookup table(s) in SQL that has the IDs from the SharePoint Lookup list and the values coming from the “master” OLD DB Source. You can see the ID column in SharePoint by toggling it on in a view.
2. Create a SQL command that JOINs all the databases and tables so that the ID is passed and not the value into the SharePoint lookup column
3. Change the “Data access mode” to “SQL Command” instead of the “Table or view” in the OLE DB Source and paste your command into the “SQL command text:” area.
Other helpful info is that you may also need to add additional columns in the new lookup tables in SQL for the scenarios when the data is not unique. You can see this two times in my SQL command example for Units and JobTitles:
SELECT
pps.SSNm,
pps.file_updated,
pps.Employee_id,
/* pps.CheckDistNm,*/
Check_Distribution_id = COALESCE( d.ID, 0 ),
pps.Job_nbr,
pps.SeqNm,
pps.action_eff_dt,
Fund_id = COALESCE( f.id, 0 ),
Appropriation_id = COALESCE( ap.id, 0 ),
ActionCode_id = COALESCE( ac.id, 0 ),
SpecNumber_id = COALESCE( jt.ID, 0 ),
pps.Employee_id,
/* pps.Fund,
pps.Approp,
pps.Unit,*/
Unit_id = COALESCE( u.ID, 0 ),
PosNm,
PosCode,
pps.LastName,
pps.FirstName,
pps.MI
FROM
x_PPS.aReportVw.pps_screens_active AS pps
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.DistributionNumbers AS d ON
pps.CheckDistNm = d.Check_Distribution
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Units AS u ON
pps.Fund = u.Fund AND
pps.Approp = u.Approp AND
pps.Unit = u.Unit
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Appropriations AS ap ON
pps.Approp = ap.Approp
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Funds AS f ON
pps.Fund = f.Fund
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.ActionCodes AS ac ON
pps.ActionCode = ac.ActionCode
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.JobTitles AS jt ON
pps.SpecNm = jt.SpecNumber AND
pps.JurisClass = jt.JurisClass

Updating a title column in list that is a lookup column to document library in sharepoint designer workflow 2010

Hi I have a requirement to create a list item in Contracts List when a document is uploaded in Contracts Vendor library.
Contracts List will
have columns - Contract Name ( title column), Contract Number, Contract Start date and end date.
Contracts Vendor library will have Contract
Name,Contract NUmber.
User will select the Contract Name from drop down ( this is look up column linked to Contract Name in Contract
List).When user uploads document in Contract Vendor library then item should be created in Contract List with selected Contract Name and
Contract number .
Contracts and Contracts Vendor are related by look up Contract Name. Contract Name is internally a title column in
Contracts List.
Issue1 :
Since Contract number is look up column, while I am creating item the Contract name is not getting updated in
Contracts List. I have to use sharepoint designer workflow to achieve this task. Title colum or Contract Name shows no title.
Issue 2:
One
more issue I am facing is that Contracts List has Section and Division cascaded drop downs when i select values from section and division
dropdowns and save item in Contracts list the values are getting saved in Contract List.
Could anyone suggest me how to handle this ? I am
attaching the screenshots of the list and library structure. TRuly appreciate your help.
Below are screenshots of the list structure

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to update a title column in list that is a lookup column to document library in sharepoint designer workflow 2010.
I try to reproduce the issues as follows:
Create a custom list named Contracts List, add columns: Contract Name ( title column), Contract Number(Number), Contract Start date(Data and Time) and Contract End date (Data and Time).
Create a document library named Contracts Vendor library, add columns: Contract Name(Lookup), Contract NUmber(Lookup).
Create a workflow associated to the Contracts Vendor library.
Add action: Create List Item.
   5. Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
   6. Upload a document, select the Contract Name and Contract NUmber, the workflow will be started automatically.
   7. Open the Contracts List, an item will be added with the Contract Name and Contract Number in the Contracts Vendor library.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Linda Li
