Reporting counts on multi-value lookup columns

Hi,
I have a list containing 2 columns - student, and subjects. Subjects is a multi-value lookup column. Students may study multiple subjects. What I'm trying to achieve is a simple pie chart (I don't care if it's done using SharePoint Web Part, Excel or
SSRS) that displays a breakdown of how many students are studying each subject.
So if I have 2 list entries:
Person 1, Science, Maths
Person 2 , Maths
Person 3 , Science
The report/chart would report 2 Science and 3 Maths. What I'm struggling with is that because the data is stored in an un-normalized fashion ('#;') separated it's not possible to do straight charts without coding (C# or VBS). I
would have assumed that this issue would be widely spread but I've had no luck looking through forums. Does anyone have any experience/;ideas on how to handle this??
Thanks.

Hi
From your description, my understanding is that you want to get counted values of a Multi-Value lookup column.
You can get counted values of a Multi-Value lookup column
in DVWP using XSLT.
Refer to the following post:

Issues updating/setting multi value lookup columns via powershell

Hi All,
I have an issue updating multi values in a lookup field via powershell
I can update a single value lookup field as below but can't get to update if its multi value.
As stated below when I hardcode it. It works.
No idea what 'm missing. Any help will be appreciated.
#Hardcoded works below as you can see i'm setting 3 values
$array = @($realval.Split(';'))
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $array.Count - 1; $i += 2)
$word = $array[$i].Trim('#')
$number = $array[$i+1].Trim('#')
"$number $word"
$lookupvalue1 = GetLookUpValues -val $number
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection] $itemValues = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue] $lookupvalue = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue] $lookupvalue2 = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue] $lookupvalue3 = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue
$lookupvalue.LookupId = 1
$lookupvalue2.LookupId = 2
$lookupvalue3.LookupId = 6
$itemValues.Add($lookupvalue)
$itemValues.Add($lookupvalue2)
$itemValues.Add($lookupvalue3)
#$itemValues.Add($lookupvalue)
$CMRSItems["Event Type"] = $itemValues;
Write-Host "items:" $itemValues
$CMRSItems.Update()
# This works when its updating only one value but when it needs to update multivalue it only updates the last one
#so for example with the lookupvalue above only 6 gets updated below
$array = @($realval.Split(';'))
for ($i = 0; $i -lt $array.Count - 1; $i += 2)
$word = $array[$i].Trim('#')
$number = $array[$i+1].Trim('#')
#$number
"$number $word"
#send param to GetLoolValues func to return records as SPFieldLookupValue
$lookupvalue1 = GetLookUpValues -val $number
#I can view the lookupvalue returned successfully
#Write-Host $lookupvalue1
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection] $itemValues = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection
#This LookupId returns 3 values like on the hardcoded one above like so :1,2,6
$lookupvalue.LookupId = $number
$itemValues.Add($lookupvalue)
$CMRSItems["Event Type"] = $itemValues;
#I can view the items returned successfully
Write-Host "items:" $itemValues
$CMRSItems.Update()

The problem I can see with your code is that the below line of code, you are instantiating inside the for loop. This should have been outside the for loop as by keeping it inside the loop you are overriding the value.
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection] $itemValues = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection
Please have a look at the below solution and modify your code as per your requirement. What I am trying to achieve in the below code is that I have a listA in which one of the field is being used as a multi-lookup in my listB.
$lookupCollection = $something.split(";")
$LookupMasterList=$web.Lists["ListA"]
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection] $lookupValueCollection = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection
#Get the Lookup Item from Parent List
foreach($item in $lookupCollection){
IF([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($item.trim())) {
continue;
$LookupItem = $LookupMasterList.Items | Where-Object { $_.Item("FieldInternalName") -eq $item.trim()}
if($LookupItem -ne $null)
$myLookup = New-Object Microsoft.Sharepoint.SPFieldLookupValue($LookupItem.ID,$item.trim())
$lookupValueCollection.Add($myLookup);
#Set the Lookup field value
if([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($lookupValueCollection)){
continue;
else{
$newItem["Lookupfieldinternalname"] = $lookupValueCollection
The above logic has no hard coding and it fetches the lookup information directly from the master list and generates a collection based on that. You can modify the above code as per your requirement.

[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

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.

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! :)

Does Access 2013 Web App support multi-value lookup fields?

I hope someone can please help me with this as I've not been able to find the answer by searching this site, nor elsewhere on the web. I have Access 2013 open connected to my web app on Sharepoint Skydrive with a table open in 'edit table' mode. When I add
a new lookup field I don't see any option to make it a multi-value lookup field. Is there no support for that in web apps or am I doing something wrong?
Cheers, Henk.
Cheers, Henk.

This is what I use in the Parent RowSource:
This in the parent child relationship
In the row source query from the child, I have a simular expression. By inverting the boolean 'childToggler' I can force the child-form to requery. Because the boolean is in the session table record (which is part of the child form recordsource query as
well), the boolean will be inverted in both and won't disrupt the relationship.
Besides the toggler this relationship only contains an ID with preceding zero's, but the expression can contain pretty much everything.

Assignment on Multi-Valued Lookup field

Hi experts,
Is it possible to assign value to a multi-valued lookup field using assignment.
For example, "Products" is the main table. In the products table I have a multi-valued attribute "PLANT". Product table contains a field "PLANT" of type look-up multivalued to the Plants table.
So, is it possible to assign Plant attribute values to PLANT Look-up multivalued field in the main table using assignment??
Is not, then is there any other work around solution to acheive this requirement?
Best Regards,
Shiv

hi,
So, is it possible to assign Plant attribute values to PLANT Look-up multivalued field in the main table using assignment??
No this is not possible, to get the values of the plant attributes you again have to lookup at the plant master data and fetch the values from there in the routine.

Arvind.

How to design SSRS report to filter multi-value parameter?

I developed an RDL which takes a multivalue parameter and I want to set a visibility expression or filter based on this parameter. This parameter uses an "All" value equal to '660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1A7F'.
I want to make the main tablix visible if this parameter is set to this uniqueidentifier and invisible otherwise. How can I achieve this either in the tsql dataset or on the report side? I have tried numerous workarounds, but none have worked so far! I've tried
different expressions and datatypes.
Before I tried If/Else statements in the tsql dataset, but most recently I instead added flags to the tsql dataset for each condition and am trying to make this tablix only include the records with the flag matching the parameters chosen. But even this is not
working for me.
Here is sample data:
create table #dummydata
parameter varchar(max),
b varchar(max)
insert #dummydata values('660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1A7F','record 1'),('660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1vcd','record 2'),('660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1v52','record 3')
select * from #dummydata
And my filter expression in the RDL for this tablix is:
=iif(Parameters!Modifier.Value(0)="660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1A7F",1,0)
With datatype = integer and value = 1 However, this tablix is invisible with the above even when I choose "All" for the parameter value = default value. How can I make this tablix visible?
Ryan D

Hi Ryan D,
After testing the scenario in my local environment, everything goes well. As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by the Available values in the Modifier parameter. Could you tell us the Available values of Modifier parameter in your scenario?
The following scenario in my test is for your reference:
I create a dataset with the sample data you posted.
Add a multi-value parameter named Modifier in the report.
Specify the following values in the Available Values of the parameter (please note that the value “All” should be located in the first place, because we use Parameters!Modifier.Value(0) in the filter):
Label: All                 Value: ="660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1A7F"
Label: A                   Value: ="1"
Label: B                   Value: ="2"
Label: C                   Value: ="3"
Drag a table to the design surface, insert parameter and b fields in the table.
Use the same expression as you said to add a filter in the tablix.
We can refer to the following screenshot:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Crystal Reports For Eclipse - Multi-values not showing on page..

Tried two different ways to set params, but to no avail. Values seems to be set, but only one value appears on the report.The value is updated, so not an old value or anything.
Also if I look at the values I can see the values are set! The Field is set to multi=true and the height is big enough to display lots of date grow=true.

PowerShell: Update SharePoint multiple value lookup column?!

Hi.
I have some PowerShell scripts that access, update and insert data into various SharePoint 2010 lists. This all works nicely but there is one thing I'm having trouble with. I want to populate a lookup column in a list with multiple values. The column allows
multiple values and has many such records inserted manually - but I cannot do this using PowerShell. I can update the lookup column using a single "ID" lookup value - but not with multiple values.
I cannot find any documentation on how to do this using PowerShell. I have seen some examples (C#?) but there's little help in them.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Markus

Sorting and Grouping by multi-value Choice columns - any options?

I found out the hard way that SharePoint doesn't support sorting or grouping lists by Choice columns that are set to "Allow Multiple Values." I'm stunned by this missing capability, and my project has come to a complete halt without it. It's like Microsoft only implemented hafl the feature -- you can put data in, but then you can't do anything with it. You can't even use the column in a formula in another column, so you can't parse it.
I'm not posting just to gripe though. Does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives? What do you do when you need to let people make multiple selections, and then you want to sort or group by those values? Are there any add-on products that allow this? At this point my only option seems to be to not allow multiple choices, but that's taking away a rather significant feature.
Thanks for any ideas,
Steve

Hi Paul,
Thank you for the reply and the additional questions. For my situation I want to use the multi-value choice to indicate a "belongs to" relationship, as in "this item belongs to projectA, projectB, and project C. Because there are more than 10 projects, I didn't want to create a separate Yes/No checkbox for each one.
For viewing the information, I'm looking primarily for a "group by" function. So if an item belongs to projectA, projectB, and projectC, it would appear three times, once under the grouping for each project. What I don't want is for a row that only belongs to projectA to be grouped separately from a row that belongs to both projectA and projectB. I want to see all the rows that belong to projectA grouped together, regardless of whether they also belong to other projects.
I'll look into using a grid control, but if you have any other suggestions I'll certainly listen.
Steve

Multi Value Lookup Save Problem

Hi,
I am trying to save records in Multi value look up table. The problem is that only the last record is getting saved.
Can anyone please help?
Regards,
Sruti

Hi Deepti,
Qualified Lookups are always Multivalued and no specific property has to be enabled atleast within MDM to make it Multivalued.
By selecting The Qualified Lookup table Multivalued,It should allow you to save Multiple NQ values for a given record.
You can have a look at the below link to know about the Java methods provided to work with MDM:

How to get count of unique values of column B for each unique value of column A in Excel 2010?

I have an excel sheet containing 72,000 rows in Excel 2010, column A is "site name", column B is category. I want a result that shows number of sites for each category.
Column A Column B
site 1 Category 1
Site 1 Category 1
Site 2 Category 1
site 3 Category 2
site 3 Category 2
site 4 Category 2
site 5 Category 2
I want this result:
Category 1 2
Category 2 3
I tried some formula in a 3rd column and created a pivot table on that column, but it did not give me the result i want.
Any one has an idea ? what is the easiest way to achieve this?
Appreciate any pointer

I tried both formula referenced in these two post (I think they are a little simpler than the one above):
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11876238/simple-pivot-table-to-count-unique-values
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18898138/pivot-table-count-unique-values-excel-2010
They both worked! and I got the result for my 72,000 rows!
Thanks for your help!

Sort Order of Lookup Column

I have a list with look-up columns.
In particular, 'Market' is a look-up column, pulling the 'Title' column from a document library.
The issue I have is that the 'Market' look-up column contents are not listed in alphabetical order when selecting the menu to sort/filter, however, they are in alphabetical order
in the library they are being pulled from....
What controls the sort behavior of look-up column contents?
UPDATE: I have discovered that, by grouping the View by any column, the error disappears. Although this might be a work-around and provide context to an eventual solution, this is not a solution.
UPDATE 2: The key seems to be multi-value columns OR System Column (TYPE), require grouping to display sort order correctly.
Filtering by the type column (Type = xls ~ 7 items) does
NOT resolve the issue
Filtering by the type column (Type = xls ~ 7 items)
AND Grouping by
single-value lookup column (Year = 2012 ~4 items) does resolve the issue.
Filtering by a single-value lookup column (Year = 2012 ~ 1001 items) does resolve the issue
Filtering by a multi-value lookup column (Sector = Residential ~ 418 items) does
NOT resolve the issue
Filtering by a multi-value lookup column (Sector = Residential ~ 418 items)
AND Grouping by
single-value lookup column (Year = 2010 ~96 items) does resolve the issue.

Here is a way that worked for me. I had a lookup column from a list to a document library. When I opened the form up it sorted by title. I created a new Data Connection in Infopath editing the list. When I created the Data connection
it gave me options which fields in the data connection and the ability to sort based on a field. I then just pointed my drop down list to point to the new data connection. This worked on ipad as well as IE9. No code required and my google
searching did not find this simple solution so putting here.

Mass updating a multi-valued field- to append the new value

I have a question on multi-valued fields:
I have store table with 5 multi-valued fields, say MLB, soccer, college FTBL, college Basketball, etc.
A store can have 4 MLBs, 2 soccer teams, and so on.
Say, there is a new MLB that came out called Mexico MLB team.
A user wanted to add this to 30 stores using a mass update. But remember the 30 stores can have totally different sets of values in the multi-valued fields.
How can I add this new value while still preserving the MLB teams values of each store record?
Does MDM not support this feature?
I am using SAP MDM SP6
An answer would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Savi

Savi,
I assume you are defined these fields as multi-value lookup and linked to main table. In general, you can not because it will mess up and overwrite your multi-value entries for all of your 30 store records.
Here is something in MDM come in handy. It is following the same concept but design your model a little differently. If you model your multi-value fields into qualified lookup table, it will be easier and optimized to handle.
You can select all 30 records and mass-update with adding the new MLB entry into your Q-lookup table. Once you save, this mass-update action will respect all your diversity of each individual records with the new value added.
Hope this helps
If this answers your question, please kindly reward the points.

How to hide edit link for some rows in report? (according to value of col)

Helo,
How to hide edit link for some rows in report? (according to value of column)
regards
siyavuş

Hi siyavuş
You can do this by taking the edit link off the report and putting it into your report SQL.
Use something like Select CASE WHEN (condition) THEN
'Put your edit link in here as an html Anchor like<a href="(target)">Edit</a>'
ELSE
tt.value
END edit_link
