Sharepoint List DataSource

Forgive me as I am new to Sharepoint though a veteran SQL Developer. I am having difficulty writing back to a joined query that has but 3 tables. I have tested ability to write back to a single table from a list successfully but can't do so from a slightly
more complex query that has the 3 tables. I understand how Sharepoint could get "confused" and not know which of the 3 to write data to. My question is how do you designate which table to write back to? Thanks in advance.

Hi DevDiver,
According to your description, when you use SharePoint List as DataSource, you want to directly use created views so that you can show the specific values you need. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we use SharePoint List as DataSource, all columns in Lists will be exported into Query Builder. There's no feature in Query Builder to show the views created for each SharePoint List. If we only need some specific columns, we
can only select them manually. So your requirement can't be achieved currently.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Sharepoint List DataSource does not exists

Hi,
I wanna create a SharePoint List Datasource in ReportManager, but the only DataSource type avaiable is MS SQL Server.
Is it because I'm using SQL Express (with advanced services) ?
Do I need a superior edition? or do I need to install the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint ?
I think the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint is only to use Report Server in Sharepoint Mode, is this correct?
Tks,
DD

Hi DevDiver,
According to your description, when you are trying to create a SharePoint List Datasource using SQL Server Express, the only DataSource type avaiable is MS SQL Server. In fact, SQL Server Express does not support non-SQL data source. So if we want to create
a SharePoint List Datasource, we need to update it to Standard or higher.
Besides, we don’t need to install Reporting Services Add-in when trying to create a SharePoint List Data Source. The Reporting Services Add-in is a required component for a report server that runs in SharePoint mode. It enables Reporting Services features
include Power View, a Report Viewer Web Part, a URL proxy endpoint, and application pages, so that you can create, view, and manage reports, report models, data sources and other report server content on a SharePoint site.

Build Report using sharePoint list datasource for EPM projects.

Hi all,
I am using Project Server 2010.
When project is created using EPT then for that project a site will be created and each site has sharePoint Lists.
I want to build SSRS report that uses this sharepoint list as datasource.
My connection string to the site URL must be dynamic as each project site URL will be different.
Your help will be appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Rohit

Hello,
Look to use an expression and pass in the Project Site URL, see the example below:
SharePoint Web Services (XML) version but gives you the idea for using an expression:

Updating a secondary datasource to a Sharepoint list via infopath form rules

Using SharePoint 2010 and InfoPath 2010 I created a form that prior to submission it gets an integer value from a separate SharePoint list via a secondary datasource. Just before the rule that submits the form to a document folder via the
main datasource I increment the integer value and try to write it back to the secondary datasource I got it from. I know that I have the correct value. That is, it is reading from the data source the correct integer information and it is incrementing
it in the form but when it writes the value back to the same column in the same secondary datasource it doesn't give any indication that it didn't work. But when I look at the list of the secondary data source I see that the integer value is
not updated.

Hi Jonas,
You can attach your Excel doucment into InfoPath form and send InfoPath form to a custom web service. Then you can parse the Excel data and combine the Excel data and additional fields into SharePoint list in the customized web service.
For more information, you can have a look at the thread:

Hi Kannalo,
You should first deploy the Dashboard to a preview site then you can preview in Dashboard designer.
For more detailed steps to deploy a dashboard to a preview site ,please view this site:

Unable to connect to SharePoint list data from PowerPivot in Excel

Hi,
I have the PowerPivot excel add-in installed and I can connect successfully to SQL data. I have two SharePoint farms - Farm 1 and Farm 2.
I am able to connect PowerPivot to SharePoint lists in multiple web applications in Farm 1 by using the ListData.svc.
e.g. https://farm1/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/Tasks
In Farm 2 I am unable to connect to SharePoint data. I have tried multiple web applications on Farm 2 and can't connect. I receive the following error. I am able to browse to the address in Internet Explorer and see a feed.
Has anyone else had this error?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Millard1,
From your descripton, it seems you want to use SharePoint list as a data souce. If so, you should export the SharePoint as data feed in your SharePoint site, and then create a new PowerPivot table that contains the list. Here are some articles for your reference,
please see:

Use parameters in SQL Server reporting services with sharepoint lists

I want to make report from sharepoint 2010 list and forms library in sql server reporting services.
but also want to apply parameters.
I tried but parameters but it is not working.
How I can apply sharepoint lists parameters in sql server reporting services ?
How to run or view report of sharepoint lists or form library in sqlserver reporting services with required parameters?

Hi John,
When we use SharePoint list as datasource in SSRS it has two method to add parameter. Suppose we have a dataset (DataSet1) get data from SharePoint list. Please refer to the methods below.
Method 1: We can add parameter in the Query Designer dialog box to add parameter.
Click “Add Filter” icon in the “Applied filters” dialog box in Query Designer.
Select the corresponding field (Title), fill with specific conditions, and select Parameter option in the end of the row.
Create a dataset (DataSet2) fill with Title field.
Double click the parameter we create above, set the available values from DataSet2 field Title.
(Note: In the situation, we are get the single-value parameter.)
Method 2: It is a general method to add parameter in SSRS report.
Create another dataset (DataSet2) in the report fill with Title field.
Add a parameter (Title) get available values from DataSet2 Title field.
Add filter in the DataSet1.
(Note: This method, we can configure multi-values parameter.)

Displaying a SharePoint List in a ListView Control with Grouping by Date

Dear All
I have created a ListView to display items from a SharePoint list:
<asp:ListView ID="UpAndComingEventsLV" runat="server">
<LayoutTemplate>
<ul>
<li id="itemPlaceholder" runat="server" />
</ul>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<li id="Li1" runat="server">
<asp:Literal ID="CurrentDate" runat="server" />
<%#Eval("Title")%> <%#Eval("Event_x0020_Category")%> <%#Eval("EventDate", "{0:HH:mm}")%>
</li>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
To perform the binding and then display the date I'm doing the following:
Using oSiteCollection As New SPSite(_ListPath)
Using web As SPWeb = oSiteCollection.OpenWeb()
List = web.GetList(_ListPath)
End Using
End Using
Dim Query As New SPQuery
Query.Query = "<Where><And><Eq><FieldRef Name='Status' /><Value Type='Choice'>Approved</Value></Eq><Geq><FieldRef Name='EventDate' /><Value Type='DateTime'><Today Offset='4' /></Value></Geq></And></Where><OrderBy><FieldRef Name='EventDate' /></OrderBy>"
'Query.RowLimit = 1
Query.ViewFields = "<FieldRef Name='Event_x0020_Category' /><FieldRef Name='Title' /><FieldRef Name='EventDate' /></ViewFields>"
Dim ItemColl As SPListItemCollection = List.GetItems(Query)
UpAndComingEventsLV.DataSource = ItemColl.GetDataTable
UpAndComingEventsLV.DataBind()
dfgdfgfg
I would like to group my events by date though, rather than display the date against each row. To make things even more complicated, I would like to use friendly names like Today, Tomorrow, Monday, Tuesday instead of dates:
TODAY
Event number one
Event number two
Event number three
TOMORROW
Event number 4
Event number 5
MONDAY
Event number 6
Event number 7
At the moment, I've created a ItemDataBound event on the ListView control and I have been able to display the Today, Tomorrow, Monday etc bit but I can't figure out the best way to perform the grouping. Incidentally, I only want to group on the date not
on time:
Private Sub UpAndComingEventsLV_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As Web.UI.WebControls.ListViewItemEventArgs) Handles UpAndComingEventsLV.ItemDataBound
If e.Item.ItemType = Web.UI.WebControls.ListViewItemType.DataItem Then
'Retrieve data item
Dim DataItem As ListViewDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, ListViewDataItem)
Dim RowView As DataRowView = DirectCast(DataItem.DataItem, DataRowView)
Dim EventDate As DateTime = RowView("EventDate")
'Get literal control
Dim CurrentDate As Literal = e.Item.FindControl("CurrentDate")
'Display friendly date
If Not IsNothing(CurrentDate) Then
Select Case EventDate.Date
Case Is = Now.Date
CurrentDate.Text = "Today"
Case Is = Now.Date.AddDays(1)
CurrentDate.Text = "Tomorrow"
Case Is = Now.Date.AddDays(2)
CurrentDate.Text = Now.Date.AddDays(2).DayOfWeek.ToString
Case Is = Now.Date.AddDays(3)
CurrentDate.Text = Now.Date.AddDays(3).DayOfWeek.ToString
Case Is = Now.Date.AddDays(4)
CurrentDate.Text = Now.Date.AddDays(4).DayOfWeek.ToString
Case Is = Now.Date.AddDays(5)
CurrentDate.Text = Now.Date.AddDays(5).DayOfWeek.ToString
Case Is = Now.Date.AddDays(6)
CurrentDate.Text = Now.Date.AddDays(6).DayOfWeek.ToString
End Select
Else
CurrentDate.Text = "-"
End If
End If
End Sub
Please could you help me understand the best way to perform the grouping by date?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
Daniel

When I've done this in the past I've always used a calculated field that translated the days into the groupings I wanted. You couldn't do quite the groupings that you list above, but it would give you categories to group on. You could then
apply the groupings in the base view. Then you could use the Row Databound event to change the labels on the Groupings at runtime to the ones you want to use.

Hi Hasan,
Per my understanding you want to add mutilple value parameters to filter the data in the sharpoint list datasource report, right?
I have a test based on the step by step details information in below link and all works fine which will make the multiple value parameter works fine:
https://audministrator.wordpress.com/2014/02/17/sharepoint-list-add-distinct-parameter-value/
Add the custom code from above link
Parem1 is the parameter which get values from a query and with all the values(duplicate value),please setting as below:
Param2 is the parameter which will display in the report have done the deduplication, check the "Allow Multiple values" and then Specify the available value and default value using below expression:
=Split(Code.RemoveDups(JOIN(Parameters!Param1.Value, ",")), ",")
Add the filter and preview.

SSRS Clustered Column Report with SharePoint List

Hi Guys,
I have a SharePoint List which has 3 columns: Team Status Date and i want to generate clustere column chart using SSRS report. Could you please provide me steps for the same?
X Axis - All the teams
Y Axis - Count
Legends
1. Pending - status <> "Completed"
2. Task Overdue - status <> "Completed" && (Date == Today between Date == Today - 30
please find attached sample of report.
This is what I have tried so far...
I just need help on forming expression.
Thanks, Nilesh

Hi Nilesh,
According to your description, you want to use a SharePoint list as datasource then create a chart.
In your scenario, we can add a calculated field which includes “pending” and “Task Overdue”. Then add the calculated field to the Series Groups panel. Please refer to the steps and results below:
1. Add a calculated field and specify the value with the expression below:
=switch(Fields!status.Value <> "Completed" and Fields!Date.Value <= now() and Fields!Date.Value >= dateadd("d",-30,now()),"TaskOverdue",Fields!status.Value <> "compeleted","pending")
2. Design the report like below and preview the report.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to custom action for context menu in "Site Content and Structure" in SharePoint 2010.
In "SiteManager.aspx", SharePoint use MenuItemTemplate class which represent a control that creates an item in a drop-down menu.
For example, to create or delete the ECB menu for a list item in
"Site Content and Structure", we can follow the steps below:
To add the “My Like” menu, we can add the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemLike"
runat="server"
Text="My Like"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"

<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemDelete"
runat="server"
Text="<%$Resources:cms,SmtDelete%>"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"

Open a SharePoint List item in Modal Pop up in SP 2013 fails after you filter or sort the list

Sorry for the long post. This has been killing me. I had this script working perfectly fine in SharePoint 2010 (online) and basically i have a source custom list (list A) with a hyperlink column and a Destination List with say title and my name.
Source List (list A) looks like this with these 2 columns
Title Test Link
A Link 1
B Link 2
C Link 3
Each of these links link to the actual list item in the destination list, so for example, link 1 is/sites/2013DevSite/Lists/Destination%20List/EditForm.aspx?ID=1
So basically i want anytime the Link are clicked that point to another list's item to open in a modal dialog and the script below worked perfectly fine in SharePoint 2010 (online)
<script language="javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language ="javascript" type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('a[href*="EditForm.aspx"]').each(function (i, e) {
// Store the A tag's current href in a variable
var currentHref = jQuery(e).attr('href');
jQuery(e).attr({
'href': 'javascript:void(0);',
// Use the stored href as argument for the ShowInModal functions parameter.
'onclick': 'ShowInModal("' + currentHref + '");'
function ShowInModal(href) {
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog({title: "Edit Item", url: href});
</script>
All it does is find the href tags for that particular value Editform.aspx and the pop modal works in SP 2010 online. So the site page is designed in such a way there is a content editor web part with the reference to this javascript file and the sharepoint
list is right beneath it and this worked perfectly opening in modal windows in SP 2010.
Since migration to 2013, this is what exactly happens
1.) when you come to the site page, the modal works,
2.) If you filter or sort on say the Title or Test Link column in Source list (lets say you select the Value A), the script does not fire at all, if i hover over the hyperlink, the who hyperlink is shown and does not open the hyperlink in the modal pop up.
- This is important because i want to be able to sort on a particular item...
Could someone please let me know what am i doing wrong and why is this not working when i sort the list. Thanks for all the help.
Once again i am trying to open a sharepoint list item in Sharepoint 2013 from another list using Jquery

A ListItem has its own unique row id so in all likelihood, an insert with the same data will result in a new list entry. The Lists Web Service however, has an UpdateListItem method which will take an update request. [refer

There is another note in the conference (marked answered) to your List Item Update problem. Probably worth a try too. [refer
