Performancepoint custom list connection - no data

Hi,
I have created a custom list in sharepoint and I want to create a dashboard from it. I have opened up dashboard designer and created a Data connection to my list. I've tested the data source and my connection is successful. When I go to the view tab of the
data source to configure the columns I can see all the column names as headers, but if I click preview data, no data is previewed.
The impact of this is then when I try to create a KPI from a field no data is shown in my KPI either.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Dan

Hi,
Please set your Column Name, Column Unique Name, Column Type and Aggregation as mine
and see the result. Make sure all the four properties have values.
Thanks,
Eric

Customer listing with address data and credit limits

Hello all,
I need a report I can download to Excel detailing address data and credit limits by customer.
Many thanks.

Hi
You can not get the report with address details from standard reports. You have to download the address from table level to excel and you can do what ever you want. If you want a special report what you want you have to contact your programmer (ABAP).

Infopath 2013 - Values are not appearing in a drop down field referencing site column which uses lookup in custom list

I have a master custom list that has a set of site columns. For each site column there is a lookup to a custom list with reference data. When I edit the list in data entry view all values in drop down fields work fine, but when I customize the form for
the master list, no data appears in the drop down fields. I can change the data binding on the form so it references the the correct data and when I preview the form it works. But when I publish it, no data is available in these drop down fields.

Hi shakonarson,
According to your description, I try to reproduce your scenario but the lookup field works fine.
When we customize the form for the list in the InfoPath 2013 , it is by design that the Drop-Down List Box control cannot display its value.
For troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
Go to lookup List Box on your form in InfoPath 2013 , right click it and choose “Drop-Down List Properties” from the bottom of your field menu.
Make Sure you select “Get choices from an external data source” and correct Data source.
Make Sure the Xpath of Entries is “d:SharePointListItem_RW” under the dataFields.
Here is a good blog for sorting lookup column DropDown by customizing your list form with InfoPath you can have a look:

with InfoPath
Hope this helps!

Project Site custom list data reporting with Odata connection, BI reports in Project online 2013.

Hi,
Can we create an excel report with Odata feed connection which includes project site custom list data?
Example: My Project is "ProjectTest" and it has a project site in which i created a custom list "ProjectNotes" with some new columns. I want to include these columns in my report.
sandeep

Hello,
when using the SharePoint ODATA or REST APIs each list and site would have a different endpoint URL. Some example URLs are below:
REST API:
https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/Project01Test/_api/Web/Lists/getByTitle('ProjectNotes')/Items
https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/Project01Test/_api/Web/Lists/getByTitle('Risks')/Items
ODATA SVC:
https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/Project01Test/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Issues
https://test.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/Project01Test/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/ChangeRequests
The down site is that in Excel you cant dynamically update the connection URL so would have to add all of these in manually and create the data models - I guess this is ok if you don't have many projects and don't create many new projects. In code such as
JavaScript it is easy and you can build up the URL dynamically using variables like below:
projSiteUrl + "/_api/Web/Lists/getByTitle('ProjectNotes')/Items"
The options to explore to see if you have make this dynamic and get the data you want are:
Potentially look at the search API and use that in Excel:

Power Query:
http://blog.oraylis.de/2013/05/using-dynamic-parameter-values-in-power-query-queries/
JavaScript (put the data on a page), example:
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Server-Risks-and-Issues-on-65dcbe0e
Or bring the data down to a custom SQL database table and report of that data:

Create a Report with InfoPath to Show Only Some of Data in a Custom List

I have to create a report using InfoPath from a SharePoint 2010 custom list.
The report has 8 columns, and there will be four repeating? tables in it, each table including data that is filtered from the bigger list to meet two criteria. All the items in all four repeating tables will meet one of the criteria (Type of Task field
= Human Capital) and each of the other four repeating tables will be different depending on the contents of the Personnel Action Location field. Neither Type of Task or Personnel Action Location will be columns in the repeating tables.
How can I filter data from a custom list as it goes into a form?
Can I do this on fields that don't otherwise appear in the form?
If I can just figure out how do to one form, we can do many, many more, and finally really move over to SharePoint, but I just need to get the first one figured out please. Thanks!

Hi,
If you would like to connect data to InfoPath form from SharePoint list, you could make use of Data Connection. You could locate it via InfoPath form > Data ribbon > Get External Data > From SharePoint List.
And here are the links to use it for your reference:

Sharepoint list dataheet view error "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available"

I have a List which is having around 14000 items in it.while opening that list in datasheet view it is giving error .
Below is a summary of the issue:
After selecting datasheet view beow error occurs:
    "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available."
    "Unable to retrieve all data."
    The item counts displays say 100 out of 14000 items.
Exporting List to excel is giving only 2000 records out of 14000 records.
Other Observations   -
This is happening to only one list on the site .There are other lists in the site whose no. of records is equal to 8000 to 9000.They are working absolutely fine without any error.
Also, If I am saving this list as a template and creating another list with it ,then it is working absolutely fine with 14000 records,so the issue does not seem to be related with no. of records as the template list is working fine.
I have checked the Alternate access mapping setting ,its fine.
It should not be related to lookup,datefield or any other column as the list created from it template is working fine with all these columns.
I checked below links also ,but doesn't seem to work in my case.

I have spent two days to resolve this issue. Microsoft has released two KBs with reference to this issue...but are not appearing in search results at the top.
I am sharing my finding.
1. First install the
KB2552989 (Hopefully you might have already installed it. The KB detetcts it and informs the user.)
2. Then update registry by adding new key for data fetch timeout as mentioned inKB2553007
These two steps resolved the issue in our environment. Hope it might help others as well.

How do I import Excel cell data in to an already built custom list.

I have a custom list that we are using as an End Of Shift Report.
I would like to expand the list to incorporate some of our process data. (We are a paper mill). We have a data historian, PI Process Book, that has an Excel add-in, that allows us to import the process data in to Excel.
I am able to do the "import spreadsheet" function and get the data in to a new list. What I can't figure out is either how to import directly in to the custom list I have already created, or how to import from the new list to the custom list.
I could use the "new list" as a container for several different process points if I could figure out how to load the process data in to the custom list.
We are currently using WSS3, but are upgrading in either the 4th Q this year, or Q1 2014.
Any other suggestions on how to display single point data (End of Shift Inventory calculations for example) in a custom sharepoint list are welcome.
I want to take a tank level reading, which we monitor and multiply it by X gallons per foot, then load the total gallons in to the custom list

1) Open WSS List, and Export it to Excel
2) Open the Excel file you want to import
3) Copy the cells in the source and paste them into the Excel file openned from the WSS List (only highlight one row to paste, it will fill down)
4) You will see vaildation errors (yellow triangles), if there are any, correct them
5) In the menubar go Data --> List --> Sync List
6) You will see a blue status bar fill in the bottom left as data is copied up to the List
Or you can try the below tools

Created By and Created Date fields not showing up on Custom List form webpart

Hi,
I have added Custom Listform WebPart on "DispForm.aspx" of custom list. I need to display, out of box fields "Author" [Created By] and "Created" [Creation Date] on this custom list form webpart, I have added them on the webpart, following is the code behind of aspx page:
<td width ="400px" valign= "top" class="ms-formbody">
<xsl: value-of select = "@Author" disable-output-escaping = "yes"/>
</td>
However these fields are not showing/populating data on the form ?? Any inputs ???
Regards

Hi,
I think that when you insert a custom list form web part you select “Item” content type, so custom list form is designed to display only the fields that are appropriate for that content type “Item”, but the item content type doesn’t contain the created and created by column, when you add the two columns, it will not find the field value. By default, the two columns will display at the foot of the list form using SharePoint:CreatedModifiedInfo.
Hope it can help you.

On deleting an item "Name" column of recycle bin is updating with data in one of the custom column instead of title field in SP 2013 Custom list

On deleting an item, "Name" column of recycle bin is updating with data in one of the custom column instead of title field in SP 2013 Custom list.
Thanks, Chinnu

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update title field in recycle bin with other field value of the item.
We can use the ItemDeleting Event Receiver to achieve it.
While item is deleting, replace title field value with other field value using ItemDeleting event receiver, then in the recycle bin, the title value will replace with other field value.
However, there is an issue while restore the item from the recycle bin, the item title would be replaced.
As an workaround, we can create a helper field in the list to store the title field value while deleting, then replace back while restoring using
ItemAdded Event Receiver.
I have made a simple code demo below to achieve this scenario, it works like a charm(the
Test2 field is the helper field, you can hide it in the list), you can refer to it.
public override void ItemDeleting(SPItemEventProperties properties)
properties.ListItem["Test2"]=properties.ListItem["Title"];
properties.ListItem["Title"]=properties.ListItem["Test1"];
properties.ListItem.Update();
base.ItemDeleting(properties);
/// <summary>
/// An item was added.
/// </summary>
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemAdded(properties);
properties.ListItem["Title"] = properties.ListItem["Test2"];
properties.ListItem.Update();
Thanks & Regards,

Date and Time column in custom lists - is default time possible?

I've created a custom list and included a column using the Date and Time field. I have this set up to default to "Today's Date." But, is there any way to also have this default to today's time? While the date will default, the time must be manually
selected using dropdown boxes.
We want this field to default to the date and time but also allow users to change the date and time if necessary. This is why we're using this instead of the "Created by" field, which is not editable.
Has anyone found a solution to this?
Thanks!

Set calculated option for default value, and set =NOW():

Custom list 2013 user have access to only data that they entered

I am using a custom list 2013 that is updated by InfoPath 2013 and I am using Workflow 2013. I have set the following options in the advance settings for the custom list to be the following:
1. Read access-Read items that were created by the user,
2. create and Edit access: create items and edit items that were created by the user.
I basically want the users to only have access to the entries they made to the custom list.
This seemed to work ok at first. Now some of the users can see files created by the other person.
This is may first sharepoint 2013 project and I have been changing permissions on various groups due to what I am testing at the time with my user test accounts. Could this be the reason why my test accounts can see the data entered by each other?
For the users to be able to enter data into a test custom list 2013 and only see the data they entered, should the users only have 'edit' permission access? Does the permission levels make a difference?
Basically can you tell me what I can do so that the users can only see the data that they entered?

Hi wendy,
In SharePoint permissions, "Override List Behaviors" permission can discard or check in a document which is checked out to another user, and change or override settings which allow users to read/edit only their own items.
By Default, the Edit permission level doesnot contain "Override List Behaviors" permission, the Design permission level and the Full control permission level contains "Override List Behaviors" permission. So if your user account has Design
permission or Full control permission, the user can see files created by the other person.
Thanks,
Eric

Data Sheet View - Cannot Connect to Server at This Time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available

After a couple of years of trouble free operation, one of the lists in our SharePoint Foundation site suddenly (overnight) started presenting the error against Datasheet views on lists.
The view returns a large number of items when working correctly c.6K - however Throttling Settings have been adjusted accordingly some time ago without detrimental affect on SharePoint users and network in general. As admin and therefore throttling at 20k
items the error message still presents.
The view was working fine at 4:30pm Wednesday 27/3, but was returning the error at 8:30am the next morning. To my knowledge very few items (if any) had been added to the list between those times and no system level changes had been made (SharePoint,
SQL Express, or virtual Windows 2008R2 server).
The problem is most apparent on 2 lists in SharePoint. I've checked that the settings within SharePoint admin are set to deal with queries that should accommodate the
number of rows that are returned by the views associated with that list. It is still possible to create new items to the list and access data via 'standard views' that are presented with groups that are collapsed.
Items in Documents Libraries on other parts of SharePoint and within the same subsite can be accessed at what feels like pretty normal speed -though small query size
may mean the problem is masked to a large extent.
More Specific
The lists still open in Standard View -though much more slowly than was the case before the above error started to present.
List Details
Referrals Tracker (10,442 items) -the list was 10,420 something items on Wednesday when all was working fine.
LD Tracker (4,390 items)
Both lists have grown incrementally over the period of a couple of years rather than by adding a block of data to the list. Items are added/ updated one at a time using the associated
form or directly into cells within a datasheet view.
That it is also experienced against the smaller list suggests to me that the number of items in the Referrals Tracker is not the main factor here.
In attempting to resolve the issue I have managed to get datasheet views working that deliver 100 items and c2k items. Both views present much more slowly than we would normally expect.
Throttling Settings
List view limit - 12K items - has been this high for some time without damaging SharePoint performance across the company.
Actions Taken So Far (no improved performance seen)
The SharePoint Foundation WSS Content DB did was closer to the 10GB SQL Express limit earlier this month, however a clear down and rationalisation of versioning settings
was undertaken to ensure that did not become a problem going forward.
We did a Shrink on Thursday (the day the issue started presenting) to rationalise whitespace as all indicators were that this was where the problem may lie, but this has
not resolved the problem.
The WSS Content DB now sits at c5.5GB.
What I Need to Know
1) I'd like to understand what is causing the problem?
2) What the fix is? or,
3) How I might go about diagnosing the problem further to arrive at a fix.
With all the above, I'm part wondering if the problem is related to the virtual server or poss SQL Express related rather than being a 100% SharePoint issue?

Hi
afearn,
More often this is related to columns which are not editable by user, some columns are not editable in datasheet view. Please check if there is any new column addition and then you started getting this issue.
Also datasheet view displays all items on same page so definitely it takes little long time then load in standard view.
Let us know your results, thanks

Adding items to custom list - performance issues - Request timed out error

Hi,
I am using VS 2010, c#.
I am inserting records from an excel file, which contains 6000 records to a custom list.
I am using the Visual webpart, and oledb connection. I am not using the openXML format, as i need to use "xls" and "xlsx" type.
I am doing the below steps currently:
1) From the file upload control, i am saving the excel to the sharepoint layouts - inside that a custom folder, to keep the records.
2) Using the oledb connection to read the records and fill it in a datatable.
3) Inserting the datatable values to a custom list.
Looping through the datatable and inserting 3000 – 4000 records to List, I am getting the "Request timeout error".
Below is the sample code, where i am looping the datatable and inserting the record:
SPList prjCmpList = oWeb.Lists[strListName];
SPListItemCollection prjCmpListItems = prjCmpList.Items;
SPListItem prjCmpListItem;
foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
try
prjCmpListItem = prjCmpListItems.Add();
prjCmpListItem["Title"] = dr[0];
prjCmpListItem["FirstName"] = dr[1];
prjCmpListItem.Update();
catch (Exception)
I am using the "using block" for the spsite and web objects. When I see the execution time out in my web.config it is set to 3600. But I am getting the request time out after 2 mins only.
I have checked these link's : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa973248%28v=office.12%29.aspx
http://www.etechplanet.com/blog/how-to-import-an-excel-spreadsheet-in-sharepoint-and-save-it-as-a-custom-list.aspx

However, I am following the best practices, and also the insertion of records is to be done programmatically.
Has anyone faced this kind of issue? How to fix this?

HI,
Thanks for the reply.
If the list has custom columns which consists of string and Date types, can the same type be used? Or should the list be an empty list without any columns?
In the xml if it is put as "onerror= continue", how to fetch the records which error out?
Also, in the datatable code block, which I had put in the first post, I am also trying as below:
if(dt[1] != null)
if(!string.IsNullorEmpty(dt[1].toString())
prjCmpListItem["FirstName"] = dt[1].toString();
Can these condition checks be performed with the "processbatchdata" approach?
Thanks
