Site lookup columns that contain a list with lookup columns help needed

Here is the theoretical scenario,
I have a list called Shirts. The list contains name,color, and size columns.
I have a list called Pants This list contains name, color and size columns as well.
These two lists are contained at the root level of the site. I created site lookup columns for these two lists and used the name, color and size columns as additional fields on both lookup columns. Lets call these lkupPants and lkupShirts.
On a sub site I have a list called people. It contains name,date,lkupPants and lkupShirts columns.
The list looks something like this is dataview:
Name Date lkupPantsName lkupPantsColor lkupPantsSize lkupShirtName lkupShirtColor lkupShirtSize
This is the behavior I expected. The additional columns selected in the site lookup columns appear in the list.
I now create another site lookup column this one is based on the list called people at this subsite level. When creating the site lookup column, the data from lkupPants and lkupShirts are not available.
How can one create a lookup column that contains list data and any lookup columns contained in the list as additional fields.
If anyone can see where I am going with this, can they provide another means to accomplish what I am trying to do?

create additional columns in people list. look up values are available in the workflow so populate the additional columns with the values you need. this will allow you to create another look up column based on this list and all the fields needed.
just a thought.

List with multiple column

hello all ,
how to create a list with multiple columns ? can anyone share some examples or code snippets

What I would usually do is create a movieclip/sprite that contains a row with every column in it (each column being a textfield). Then pile up the rows one atop the other (using Actionscript) as they are populated with data.

Is there any object in labview that contains a list of data for the user to select (selection one at a time) or add a new data?

List and table controls -> listbox..is that what you are thinking of?
The listbox presents the user with a list of options, and you can set it to only accept one selection at a time...Adding new data to the list can not be done directly by the user but if you make e.g. a text control and a button you can programatically insert new objects described in the text box when the button is pressed...(see example).
If you need more than one column you have the multicolumn listbox. If you want the users to write new entries directly yu can use a table and read selected cells using it's selection start property to read what cell has been selected.

Embedding a Button that contains a MovieClip with a filter on it causes a build error in Flex

I'm trying to embed (via [Embed(...)] code) a button that
contains a movieclip with a blur filter on it. This causes Flex to
stop compiling my project (actually it says that it cannot find
another symbol that I'm also embedding). I've narrowed it down to
this problem though.
As soon as I remove the filter on the movieClip, Flex likes
it again.
Does anybody have experience with this or found a workaround?
thanks, Frank Hermes

This is really a SQL issue, not SharePoint. After 5000 rows, SQL does a lock escalation from a row lock to a table lock. The table lock prevents operations on the entire table, hence why you want to stay under 5000 rows, especially for a busy content database.
One way to mitigate this scenario is to dedicate the content database to the Site Collection. This way only the Site Collection is impacted by the lock escalation.
You can also set specific Lists/Libraries to disable the throttle entirely by using PowerShell to set the EnableThrottling property to $false. Alternatively, you can use a sandbox or full trust solution to display the data where it also ignores the throttle.
To answer your question, yes it will fail after 20,000 items.

Handling Large list with 150+ columns(40+ Searchable) and 100000 rows.

Hi All,
We are working on project architecture for project with the following issue:
1. List having 150+ columns out of which:
- 40+ columns need to have search (i.e Indexing)
- 30+ lookup columns
- 10+ date time columns
- 40+ multiline text columns
2. List having 100000+ records
- As per business we don’t have any specific folder criteria to divide list items into folders.
Business Requirements:
- filter on the list (it should show real time data so can’t use SharePoint Search)
- Export to Excel 30000+ data in <30 Sec
Our list is already normalized and we don’t see any scope to normalize it further.
Problems of breaking the list into multiple list:
1.)Low performance as join is taking very much time(due to 30,000 items)
2.)Secure transaction problem i.e. suppose we broke list into 5 child lists. Now if I need to add an item in list then it has to be implemented by adding part of item to each child list.
There may arise problem such as items inserted to 4 list successfully but failed in insertion into last list.
Thank you in advance.
Thanks, Satish

Hi All,
We solved this problem by normalizing list into many list.
Then creating one search list with all columns as plain text no look up this list have all the columns from all different list. Then writing event receiver to update this search list on item change.
and one timer job which will delete and recreate this search list weakly.
Let me know if you have any better solution.

I created a photo book in Photoshop elements 11 that contains png files with the invisible backgrounds. When I export the book to a jpg or a pdf, the png files appear with white backgrounds.

I created a photo book in Photoshop elements 11 that contains png files with the invisible backgrounds. When I export the book to a jpg or a pdf, the png files appear with white backgrounds. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.

Creating Select List with multiple columns

I want to create a select list with multiple columns. I followed the demo application model described in the by Denes Kubicek (Currently my reference for APEX !!)
The code is as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getcrops(p_cropid IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
v_cropid VARCHAR2 (400);
v_fcode VARCHAR2 (400);
v_product VARCHAR2 (400);
v_var VARCHAR2 (400);
v_fname VARCHAR2 (400);
v_acres VARCHAR2 (400);
v_style_start VARCHAR2 (400);
v_style_end VARCHAR2 (400);
v_return VARCHAR2 (400);
BEGIN
FOR c IN (select "CROP"."CROPID" as "CROP ID",
     "CROP"."FIELDCODE" as "FIELD CODE",
     "CARROTPRODUCTLIST"."CARROTPRODUCTNAME" as "PRODUCT",
     "VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYNAME" as "VARIETY",
     "FIELD"."FIELDNAME" as "FIELD NAME",
     "CROP"."SIZEINACRES" as "ACRES"
from     "FIELD" "FIELD",
     "CARROTPRODUCTLIST" "CARROTPRODUCTLIST",
     "VARIETYLIST" "VARIETYLIST",
     "CROP" "CROP"
where "CROP"."CARROTPRODUCTTYPE"="CARROTPRODUCTLIST"."CARROTPRODUCTID"
and     "CROP"."VARIETYID"="VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYLISTID"
and     "CROP"."FIELDID"="FIELD"."FIELDID")
LOOP
v_cropid := TO_CHAR (c.'CROP ID', 'FML999G999G999G999G990');
v_fcode := c.'FIELD CODE';
v_product := c.'PRODUCT';
v_var := c.'VARIETY';
v_fname :=c.'FIELD NAME';
v_acres :=c.'ACRES';
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c."CROP ID")
LOOP
v_cropid := v_cropid || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'FIELD CODE')
LOOP
v_fcode := v_fcode || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'PRODUCT')
LOOP
v_product := v_product || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'VARIETY')
LOOP
v_var := v_var || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'FIELD NAME')
LOOP
v_fname := v_fname || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'ACRES')
LOOP
v_acres := v_acres || ' ';
END LOOP;
v_return := v_cropid || v_fcode || v_product || v_var || v_fname || v_acres;
END LOOP;
RETURN v_return;
END;
I created this anonymous Pl/SQL function at a application level ..Then I followed up to create a select list with a function inside. However I could not create select list with the command suggested in the demo which is
select getcrops(cropid) d, cropid r from crop;
APEX (2.1) returns a error message. What am I missing ? Should the function be called from somewhere else after creating a regular select list..? Where the functions (Pl/SQL) should be ideally stored for application level access..? and for across application level access ? How can I check the function works good. Help is appreciated.

Still really one column.
If they need to be independent then you've got to have three selection lists.

Can I have a product formula in an entire column that will multiply the previous two columns?

Trying to enter a product formula for an entire column that will multiply the previous two columns without having to select each row of two cells and clicking on "product". This is tedious. Thanks.

My own tip to apply fill down to a column :
click the tab at top of the column to select the entire column
press command then click the header cells to unselect them
Trigger Table > Fill > Fill Down
It's the kind of info which is available in Numbers User Guide.
It's always good practice to Read The Free Manual.

When creating a "lookup" column be able to display not only one column from the other list, but additional columns

With the lookup technique, it is possible to select an item from another list and display one column of this item
It is obviously possible to create several lookup columns on the same list and therefore display several columns
There’s a high risk of not selecting the same item and therefore have inconsistent columns
The Requirement therefore consist of being able of displaying several columns of the same item from the other list, based on one unique selection
Example:
In list(x), define lookup column on list (y), column Title (possible today)
Then define a “secondary” lookup column on same list, column Code
The effect would be that when selecting an item from list (X), both Title and Code would show up consistently in 2 different columns of list (Y)
All possible solutions are welcomed

If you are using SharePoint 2010, you can retrieve additional columns when adding a Lookup. If you are using 2007, there is no direct OOTB way, but the following two posts provide potential work-arounds:

Creating List with Lookups based on metadata

Good morning,
I have a large library with thousands of files that all have an Activity_Number & Doc_Classification. Each Activity_Number should have multiple files with Doc_Classification's "1","2" & "3" etc.
For audit reasons, I'm trying to create a list where I can paste Activity_Numbers into a column and bring back a lookup from the library with columns for each Doc_Classification 1, 2, 3 with a Yes it exists or No it doesn't.
Is this possible out of the box? I've managed to do a lookup for that Activity_Number and it pulls just a random Doc_Classification, but how can I get it to grab all of them?
Please help!
Thank you!

Yes its possible OOB but require little effort to update Activity_Number for all records. Follow below steps:
Create lookup column for Activity_Number in your document library
Now go to view all items of document library, click on library tab and then select Quick Edit (Excel view)
Select Activity_Number(old) and copy fields, and paste them in the Activity_Number lookup column.
Once you complete it, you can match the fields as now both fields will be showing same value (old and new)
Now you can delete the old field.

Popup List with multiple columns but returning a single column (key value)

Hi,
1. Is it not possible to show a POPup (returning a key value) or Select list with more than 1 column? If so how?
2. I have an item in a page which should be hidden if 1 particular button was pressed. This is is to use the same page but have some behavioural change based on which button (option) was selected. How can I get the name of the BUTTON PRESSED TO INVOKE THIS PAGE.
thanks
SebJos

Hi,
In that case, you should make the page item conditional. There are many techniques to do this but it would depend on what the button is for.
As a simple example...
1 - Create a hidden item on your page called, say, Pn_SHOW (replace n with your page number - eg, P1_SHOW). Set the default value of this item to either 0 (zero) or 1 - 0 will hide the item and 1 will display it, so in your example, set it to 0
2 - On the page item you want to show/hide - on its definition, you have a Conditions section. Set the following:
Condition Type: Value of Item in Expression 1 = Expression 2
Expression 1: P1_SHOW
Expression 2: 1
When the page is loaded, because the value of P1_SHOW is 0, and due to the conditions we have just set (where P1_SHOW must be 1 for the item to be shown), the item will not appear on the page.
When you created your button, a new page branch should have been created. On this branch, you have two settings - "Set these items" and "With these values". Set the following:
Set these items: P1_SHOW
With these values: 0
You should also have at least one other branch on your page - one of these will need to set the value of P1_SHOW to 1 to get the item to display.

Get Managed Metadata (Taxonomy) ALL Lists with Columns and ALL Choice Lists with Columns VALUES programmatically

Hi there,
How to get Managed Metadata Lists ALL Columns and ALL Choice Lists Columns that are used in the Site Collection programmatically please.
Regards

Hi sharepointaju,
Managed Metadata list is a hidden list, that you can access it through
http://siteurl/Lists/TaxonomyHiddenList/AllItems.aspx, then it is similar to other lists, you can use server or client code to interate each field in the list, show the the value for each item.
For all choice list columns, I'm not clear what you mean in this situation, do you mean to get all choice columns in the site collection, if so, iterate site columns, and lists to get list fields, check whether it is a choice type field.
This may be not your requirement, please provide more information how you want to get which value.
Thanks,
