Solution to a Datasheet view in SharePoint 2007 - loads slowly for about 15000 items

Hi
Is there a solution for the above issue, I found some sites suggesting to remove a margin in the stylesheet on custom master pages, but this issue occurs in the default.master page.
Could someone please help me...what can I do from the front end to speed up the rendering of the view

Michiel,
I've "unproposed" a few answers of yours now, please can you wait for members of the community or the OP to do this for you.  You'll get more points that way.
Call,
The first thing I'd ask is whether all those 15000 items should be considered live / relevant data?  How do your users react with this information?   Have you tried creating a filtered view to see if the DataSheet load times are more acceptable
for you?

  • Datasheet view in SharePoint 2013

    Is there a way to display the datasheet view in SharePoint 2013 like the older version i.e. MS Access Web Datasheet component? There are lot of features removed from the current datasheet view.
    Thanks Arut

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display the datasheet view in SharePoint 2013 like the older version.
    In SharePoint 2013 the Datasheet view was replaced with the new Quick Edit option which works now in all browsers (since it is no longer using ActiveX).
    Though the new Quick Edit mode does not support all the "Excel-like" features, it has many improvements.
    To use the old Datasheet view, the
    KwizCom Datasheet view seems to be a solution. After using the add-on, the Datasheet view ribbon button will be located left to the Quick Edit button.

  • SharePoint 2010 Datasheet view problem - Office 2007 database engine download not fixing the issue

    We rolled out new laptops (Dell Latitude E7440)/desktops with 64-bit Windows 7 and 64-bit Office 2013 a couple of weeks ago. We installed the 2007 Access Database Engine to enable Datasheet views on our SharePoint 2010 site for our employees, and it worked
    before Thanksgiving. However, after the holiday, datasheet view is not working for anyone. I have my old 64-bit Dell laptop with 64-bit Office 2010/2007 Access Database Engine, and it still works there.
    I have tried the x86 2007 Access Database Engine, the 2010 Access Database Engine, the Office 2013 Access Runtime, with 32-bit and 64-bit IE (trying any combinations to see if I can get datasheet views to work).
    The one obvious difference is the new laptops have Office 2013. Has anyone run into this before, and is there a solution when the standard 2007 Access Database Engine download does not fix the datasheet view problem?

    Coworker figured it out. After the 2007 Access Database Engine is installed, go to Internet Explorer, Tools menu --> Compatibility View Settings, and add your SharePoint website to the list. Your SharePoint datasheet list views should start working
    after that. Might be something particular to Internet Explorer 11.

  • Is there a way to use SharePoint 2010 Datasheet View in SharePoint 2013?

    Quick edit mode doesn't meet users' requirement.  They want the header freezing and column width adjustable like what they did in SharePoint 2010.
    I understand the Datasheet view is achieved by Access ActiveX control.  Can this be used in SharePoint 2013? And SharePoint 2013 online?

    Anyone with a solution to use SP 2010 datasheet AxtiveX control somehow as SP 2013 datasheet view?

    That wouldn't be possible, this is controlled server-side.

  • Is there any way to revert back to the old Active X based Datasheet view?

    Hello,
    Is there a setting I can check to use the old Active X based Datasheet view from 2010? If not, then is there a way to have the new 2013 Datasheet view display more than 30 items per line? I clicked display all in the view settings and it displays 30
    items and gives me a little arrow at the bottom to get to the next set of 30. My list has close to 800 items and I want to edit them on one page without having to scroll to other pages. Its more user friendly that way

    > use the old Active X based Datasheet view from 2010
    No way I know of.
    But you can edit the view and set the item limit to a large number. One of my lists has 672 items and I can display them all in a single Quick Edit view.

  • Cannot paste data into datasheet view

    I have a user who is reporting a problem when trying to copy/paste data from Excel 2007 into a MOSS 2007 Datasheet view.  This functionality was working for her previously as recently as last month.  According to the user, she has not had any changes
    done to her machine recently (same machine, still using IE7, no recent installs).  I tested the copying/pasting feature from my machine and I also cannot paste into the datasheet view.  My colleagues do not have an issue though.  Has anyone
    run into this problem before?
    My gut reaction is that this is a broswer issue, rather than a SP issue but I am not seeing any browser settings which appear to apply.  Any suggestions?

    I experienced this issue on a list field that was defined as multiple lines of text where I had 'Enhanced rich text' as the default. Users got a 'read-only' error when attempting to paste data frokm Excel into a record.
    Once I changed the setting in 'Specify the type of text to allow' to
    'Plain text', the issue resolved itself.  I hope this infromation helps someone else out there!

  • Sharepoint 2007 - Possible to have customized ID and field auto-filling?

    Hi guys.
    I'm new to sharepoint, I have 2 questions that I could not get answers(mostly Sharepoint 2010 onwards) from Google, please help me.
    1. I need to have an ID that is unique and with the format ABC123 ( 1 = Year, 2 = Month, 3 = running number) and I need to reset the running number to 0 on every year, are these possible in Sharepoint 2007?
    2. My form will be having some fields that are identical, for example Student Name. I want to make other same fields have the same student name when users fill up or after submitted the form. Is this posisble in Sharepoint 2007?
    Appreciate for all helps and suggestions.

    About 1.
    Where is the 'ID' belong to?
    About 2.
    I  think you need develop some customized solution to accomplish this, for example, develop an Event Receiver.
    Thanks a lot,
    Hi Gavin,
    Thanks for your help on this.
    For question 1, I've got a requirement changed. That ID is actually a request ID, now users want it to be displayed on the form once the form is loaded, and that ID will be used as the Title. Is this possible? It sounds to me that the ID might be duplicate,
    unless the ID is increased once the form is loaded. But there is a risk if users didn't save their forms and just close it, the ID would be out of order.

  • Custom Error handling in DataSheet View with pop-up message or label controls or HTML

    I have a requirement in which DataSheet view is used to bulk edit or input list items and handle validations while in the process.
    We have validations done in event recievers before creating the list item. But could not provide a pop up or message with summary of all validation errors. these are buiness custom validations.
    Is there a way to custom error handle datasheet view? Is there a way to invoke a UI in context from event recievers?

  • View settings for individual sidebar items

    Is there a way to save the view settings for individual sidebar items? For example, always have "Documents" open in list view and always have "Applications" open in column view. Finder seems to always use whatever view setting I just used previously for every Finder item (except Photos, which will always display in icon view).

    If you hold down the Command key (the one with the cloverleaf looking thingy) and click on an item a new window will open with whatever settings the item had last time it was used. If you hold down the Option key and click on an item, its window opens, with whatever settings it had, and the original Finder window closes. Otherwise just clicking an item in the Sidebar opens the item in whatever format the current window has.

  • Sharepoint 2010: prevent users from editing a list in the datasheet view

    Hi,
    I have a sharepoint 2010 list that I need to prevent users to edit from the datasheet view. This is because I have edited the add item form on sharepoint designer and included some custom code. Moreover, I need to allow the users to view the list in datasheet
    view to make use of the datasheet custom filter view feature which is not available in the standard view. So I need users to access the datasheet view of the list in read mode only but be able to edit the list in standard view only. Is this possible? How?
    Thanks,
    George

    Hi.
    Maybe this helps...I found some users having the problem that the list WAS read only in datasheet view...this is a list of reasons why this could happen:
    Certain columns, such as Created By and Modified, are always read-only. Values for these columns are entered automatically.
    The changes you made to the selected row or column have been submitted to the server. If there is no conflict or error, you will be able to edit the row or column after the changes have been saved.
    There is an unresolved conflict or error in the selected row or column. Resolve the conflict or error before attempting to edit the selected row or column.
    The list is set up to require content approval, and you are viewing the list in the All Items view.
    In the My Submissions view of a list that requires content approval, the
    Approval Status and Comment column are read-only. Only a user with Manage Lists right can edit these two columns.
    Attachments are read-only in a list that requires content approval. You cannot view or edit attachments in any of the views.
    The document in the current row has been checked out by a user. You cannot edit the columns in the row until the user checks the document in.
    You do not have permission to edit the column or row. Contact the list author for more information.

  • Infopath fields binding not visible in datasheet view Sharepoint 2010

    Hello Everyone!!!

    But when i open the DataSheet View of custom list, field is displaying but the drop down list is not getting bind with data. what is issue. Infopath binding and rule don't work with datasheet view?
    Please reply 

    Hi,
    As you mentioned dd data is appearing in form but not in datasheet view...
    maybe there are compatibility issues
    with 32 bit and 64 bit component of office and IE.
    Try reinstalling "2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components" (link below)it installs a 32-bit version
    of the Datasheet component that will work with the 64-bit version of Office 2010 as long as you are using a 32-bit version of an Internet browser.

  • SharePoint 2007 Export to Excel 2010 or Excel 2013 Fails to Export All Fields in All Items View

    Hi All,
    When I am trying to export the SharePoint View from SharePoint site to Spreadsheet (Excel 2013), I am able not able to export the the whole data, I'm missing some numerical columns from being displayed in Excel
    I have Infopath form (2007) published on SharePoint Site and I am using MOSS 2007 and Excel 2013. My form has only 20 or so fields and the rest are fields I generated in the form library to do several other calculations. I have already 73 columns
    displayed which should be exported to Excel, need help

    Hi,
    As per your post, I understand “Excel cannot connect to the SharePoint list” is thrown out in Excel 2010 when exporting the external list in SharePoint 2013. We are able to export the external list to Excel 2013.
    This issue does not occur on the standard lists.
    I am able to reproduce the issue and it could be a potential issue in SharePoint 2013.
    We will log this issue to our suggestion box. As after the submission, we may not have any time guarantee when the fix may be released, but it may come out on next cumulative update.
    Appreciate your time and efforts.
    Thanks.

  • Sharepoint 2013 Datasheet View Navigation performance Issues on large lists

    I was recently upgraded to SharePoint 2013.
    In SharePoint 2010 Datasheet View, one could scroll through and bulk select 100s of line items in Datasheet view very easily.   Navigating the datasheet view was just like navigating through a worksheet in Excel, and one could use quick select
    keys like ctrl-shift-right arrow / down arrow to bulk select items.
    After the upgrade to SharePoint 2013, using the "Quick Edit" tab in Datasheet view and changing the Item Limit to 5000 items, it takes an inordinately long time to load the list.   None of the quick select keys like ctrl-shift-right arrow
    works anymore and the browser keeps warning about a slow-running script when attempting to select multiple items while scrolling through the list. 
    The functionality I need is for users to be able to bulk delete all line items in a SP list and copy (from Excel) and paste new line items into the SP list through their browser. 

    I am running SP Server 2013 with the Dec CU on my internal farm.  This past week, I migrated 1 database containing 1 site collection (also ran the site upgrade to 2013).  Prior to the migration, the users were using Datasheet View in 2010 to bulk
    edit and also add attachments through the pop up window while in Datasheet View.  After the migration, performance on their list using IE8 with less than 300 items was horrible for the end user and also for me as a farm admin (I'm running iE11). 
    I created a new view and performance seemed better for me and a slight improvement for the end user, but still not satisfying.  The end user is using Chrome in the interim until I can test with IE9 to see if that makes a difference.
    My main concern is the Quick Edit view.  This user needs to be able to use the 2010 Datasheet View to manage attachments while in DS view.  I created a new DS view on the affected list, but it still defaults back to the Quick Edit view.  This
    list is on 1 of 3 web apps in my internal farm.  The interesting thing is that I can create a 2010 Datasheet View in a custom list on a site that was created in 2013 from scratch in another web app on my internal farm.  However, I can only do
    this on 1 of 3 web apps.  On my 2013 external farm, I can create a DS view in a 2013 site created from scratch in 1 of 2 web apps.  Creating a list on the 2nd web app in DS view defaults the list back to Quick Edit.  I checked in SharePoint
    Manager thinking there was a web app feature that wasn't getting activated.  There was only 1 web app feature that jumped out.  Academic Library Site Safe Controls was activated on the 2 web apps I could create the 2010 Datasheet View on, but
    not the other 3 web apps I could only seem to get the Quick Edit view when creating the DS view.
    Is there a feature that needs to get activated or one that might need to be deactivated/reactivated?  My internal farm with the 3 web apps is running the Dec 2013 CU and the external farm w/the 2 web apps is running the March 2013
    PU.
    Aside from that, I've received complaints on the list performance using IE and not being able to use the 2010 datasheet functionality as noted above.  I haven't received any complaints on being able to only copy 100 items in Quick Edit view at a time,
    but I have also noticed that issue.  In my case, the retry doesn't work and I have to delete anything over 100 items before it will save.  I would like to find a resolution on this as well.  Every bit of help I can get with this issue is very
    much appreciated.  Thanks in advance!
