Looking for a way to pass parameter to external list from infopath

Hey, i have a Sharepoint 2010 list for which I want to create Infopath form. I have an external content type and external list based on it.
I want to prepopulate some fields in my Sharepoint list with data from external list. I tried to use external list as a secondary data source and query it for needed values. The issue I encounter is that my ECT has a finder with filter and I can't figure
out how to pass a value to this filter within infopath.
How can it be done with infopath? How can I pass the filter value to the external list using Infopath?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to pass parameter to external list from infopath.
You need to query the external list from InfoPath using coding and CAML Query.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

  • Looking for a way to search artists in Apple TV from iTunes Match?

    Looking for a way to search artists in Apple TV from iTunes Match similar to searching for a movie in Netflix.  

    I'm not sure I understand. You access iTunes Match via the music section, there are different categories and you select artist to search through the artists in your music library.

  • Looking for best way to filter status or meter data from differently formatted text.

    With the product we design we are able to communicate via RS-232 ports. What I'm trying to do is filter out the data that is given by multiple differnt types of products that will give similar data back, but in a differnt format. Such that in a status command I'm looking for everything to be in a non failed state. But some items will show warning, failure, #.##w(for warning), or #.##f (for fail). But the format of each product is different. Also for a meter command I'm looking for a way to filter out just the numeric value for each phase amplitude, but once again the format will be different for each product. I have been able to pull this data out easy enough for an individual product but not on a wide product range with the same VI.

  • Looking for a way to increase the sildeshow size in iWeb

    I'm looking for a way to increase the slide show size from the pictures page in iWeb. It looks like it iPhone sized. I have tried it on 4 different computer with the same result

    There's really no easy way of doing so without post publication editing of some of the support files.  There were other topics earlier on this subject but no one was able to do it .
    You can use 3rd party java script slideshows instead of iWeb's.  Examples of some are:
    Jalbum - it has over 100 themes/skins to choose from and many will let you set the size of the slideshow image. An example can be see on this demo page: Jalbum Examples.
    Other options are:
    SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter
    Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes
    The last two are from an iPhoto plugin.

  • Looking for a way to broadcast a line in to the Airpot Express?

    Looking for a way to run line input into my macbook and broadcast it to the Airport Express to Play on my Stereo..

    It is discussed on the xfce forums but unfortunately that solution requires editing by hand. However it does seem relatively easy to automate. Writing a graphical program for those tasks is something you'd only have to do once.

  • Looking for a way to Export Still Image to iPhoto

    Hi I'm looking for a way to export a still image from iMovie 08 to iPhoto 08? The simple drag, help, web search etc doesn't seem to come up with an answer but it's been a long day.
    Thanks

    Find the still within an event clip, right mouse, select add still frame to project. Repeat for all the stills you want.
    In Finder under pictures, you should find files for all the stills you created. Import them into Iphoto and there you have it.
    There is probably an easier way but this is not too bad.

  • Looking for a way to switch views using Javascript

    Hi ! I'm currently studying Acrobat 3D. <br /><br />I've got a PDF document with a 3D Annotation, which was imported from a U3D file. I defined 3 views : "initial", "front" and "top".<br /><br />My problem is that I'm looking for a way to switch views using Javascript. <br /><br />In fact, when I list cameras using the following code, I only get one camera called "DefaultView". So my question is : where has my "initial", "front" and "top" views been ? Is there a way I can switch between them using Javascript ?<br /><br />for(i=1;i<scene.cameras.count;++i)<br />     {<br />          Cam = scene.cameras.getByIndex(i);<br />          <br />          console.println("camera " + i + " : " + Cam.name);<br />     }<br /><br />Thank you very much in advance.<br /><br />françois

    you are asking about Microsoft products and using a laptop, not a workstation Mac Pro.
    The Numbers and Pages Apple Communities. or MS Community if you want those.
    Importing and Exporting, but Numbers and Pages will not do a SAVE into other formats by default, and therefore have to keep using Export which is messy.

  • Looking for a way to export full Popularity Trends data

    Greetings!
    I'm looking for a way to access all "popularity trends" data for a SharePoint 2013 publishing site in one place. I'm probably missing something pretty basic here, (I hope), but it seems if I pull up popularity trends for the site, all I get is
    the hits & unique users for the site as a whole. If I go into my pages library and choose "Most Popular Items," I'm given a search results page that I can't run reports from. And if I select the "popularity trends" link under one of
    those search results, I get a usage report for a single, specific page.
    I've thought about doing a multi-select of pages from my site's Pages library, but I have more than 100 pages in the site, so I still can't get at everything all at once. Plus, the resulting usage.xlsx file just includes a lot of  reports on individual
    pages.
    There's got to be something more all-encompassing than this...right?
    Help!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to see the all popularity trends data for a site.
    Where did you export the usage report?
    Did you export the report from  Popularity and Search Reports?
    To view the Popularity Trends report for a site collection
    Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure is a member of the Owners group.
    In the site collection, on the Settings menu, click Site ettings.
    On the Site Settings page, in the Site Collection Administration section, click Popularity and Search      Reports.
    On the View Usage Reports page, in the Usage Reports section,  click Usage.
    In the message box, click Open to open the report in Excel, or  click Save or Save as to save the  report.
    Click the tabs to view the usage report for the different usage event types.

  • Looking for a way to create/edit a newsletter online, then be able to generate a customized PDF file

    I am looking for a way to be able to customize a newsletter online, then be able to export/generate a PDF file from that newsletter.
    Basically this is for a friend that is a real estate agent, and currently she is creating the newsletters in MS Publisher. I'm hoping to find a way to be able to allow her to login to a secure area of her webpage(that part isn't a problem) but then be able to create/customize a monthly newsletter that needs to be customizable.
    For example, the August Newsletter will be 2-sided, and most of the newsletter will be the same, but she needs to be able to have a newsletter for different apartment buildings so the customers can just go to their building link/area on the webpage and be able to download that month's custom PDF file that has a portion of the main newsletter that is a table/list of properties for that specific location.  The data will be stored in a database.
    After writing the above, I can probably create a front-end to the database so she can enter everything that way, but I still need a way for her to generate the customized PDFs after she is done with that month's data.
    I was hoping Adobe had something that could be used, or am I stuck using php or Javascript and just doing this with custom scripting?
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!
    John

    I think you will have to do the latter.  While you are thinking about writing the PDF file, don't overlook fpdf (google it)....
