Sorting a conditional list column doesn't roll up same results?

I have a list with a column that adds the data of some other columns.
When I look at the list in Standard View, and click on the column heading to sort, the dropdown looks like:
Smallest on Top
Largest on Top
Clear Filter...
0
0
0
1
1
2
2
2
2
etc
Why wouldn't it be rolling up same output? And how to fix?
Thanks,
Scott

The average is also called the mean. To calculate the average of numbers in two or more columns in a row, use the AVERAGE function.
COLUMN1
COLUMN2
COLUMN3
FORMULA
DESCRIPTION (RESULT)
6
5
4
=AVERAGE([Column1], [Column2],[Column3])
Average of the numbers in the first three columns (5)
6
5
4
=AVERAGE(IF([Column1]>[Column2], [Column1]-[Column2], 10), [Column3])
If Column1 is greater than Column2, calculate the average of the difference and Column3. Else calculate the average of the value 10 and Column3 (2.5)
I tested in my local environment,it is giving average value only.Please check the same thing in another list.
If your number contains N/A value, then check the below article

The same selection doesn't return the same result in 2 identical systems

Hi,
After a copy we have 2 systems with same data.
In a program the same selection doesn't returns the same result, it seems that the sort is different.
I have checked indexes but they are ok in both systems.
Here is the selection:
SELECT but000~partner
INTO TABLE lt_partner
*UP TO 50 ROWS
FROM but000
JOIN but020
ON but020partner = but000partner
JOIN adrc
ON adrcaddrnumber = but020addrnumber
JOIN but100
ON but100partner = but000partner
WHERE but020~addr_valid_from LE '20100727000000'
AND but020~addr_valid_to GE '20100727000000'.
Is there a customizing point to define how the database must be sorted ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
Result is the same and I don't sort data after the selection.
Do you think the system copy has "broke" the records order in database ?
If it is the case it will be impossible to reproduce the same sort, is it right ?

In list view: Why don't searches include results from the Collections field? Why won't the Collections column sort properly?

In list view: Why don't searches include results from the Collections field? Why won't the Collections column sort properly?

I create a new index on column2, (INDEX_N3)
and change SQL to
select 1 from table T1 where
T1.COLUMN_002 = '848K 36892'
This time INDEX_N3 will be used.
but change SQL to
select 1 from table T1 where
T1.COLUMN_002 = '848K 36892'
and T1.COLUMN_004 = '1000'
The explain plan will show full scan.
Why？
Thanks.

Custom list column not showing up in View Order by or Group by dropdown list

Hi All,
I have created a custom list with a custom column called "Description". Some items in the list do not have a description. What I wanted to do is create a view where the items with a description show first, and the items with no description are
at the bottom of the list. I thought I could make a simple view that uses the Order by or Group by on the description column.
The problem I am having is the description column doesn't show up in the dropdown list for either Order by or Group by within the custom view. Can someone please tell me why this happens and if there is anything I can do to rectify this problem.
I hope you can help
Colin

Hi,
I believe the "Description" field type is Multiple Lines of Text. Sorting doesn't allow in this field type. In order to do the sorting, you would require to create additional column like single line of text column (note that it supports only 255
chars and require to truncate the data if more than 255) and update the data using event receiver or workflow. and do the sorting with that column.

Finder show items in columns an item arrangement selected: Right size this column doesn't works

like the title says, under these condition (note that an item arrangement must be selected) the “right sized” to the maximum width, necessary to display the longest item in the column, doesn't works even with a double click or choosing "Right size this column" option (in both cases the column is set to the default size).
Anyone else experience this issue?

You understand me well, sorry I'm not native English.
Have you selected an item arrangement? if I select "None" it works for me too, the issue is when I select an item arrangement (arrange by Kind for example).
My setting:
Finder > View > Show View Options:
- Always open in column views: SELECTED
- Browse in column view: SELECTED
- Arrange By: Kind
- Sort By: Name
- Text size: 12
- the "three show" SELECTED
Under the above conditions I've the issue, the column isn't resized.

Sort order in list wrong: in CAML and in view

Hello,
When I order my list with document sets by ID, the order is wrong. It is wrong in the list and with caml.
This is my view (I just set the sort on the ID column):
The first 4 objects are created by the Client Object Model; the last 4 are created by a SharePoint webpart that I developped myself...
My code for creating document sets in COM is something like this:
ListItemCreationInformation newItemInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation
UnderlyingObjectType = FileSystemObjectType.Folder,
LeafName = _strLeafname // = date in format YYYYMMDDhhmmss
ListItem newListItem = myList.AddItem(newItemInfo);
newListItem["ContentTypeId"] = targetDocumentSetContentType.Id.ToString();
newListItem["Title"] = title;
newListItem.Update();
clientContext.Load(myList);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
The code in the webpart is this:
SPContentType docsetCt = myLst.ContentTypes[p.GetFromResourcefile("xxxxxxxxxxxxxx")];
Hashtable properties = new Hashtable
{"DocumentSetDescription", ""},
{"Title", txtTitle.Text}
SPFolder parentFolder = myLst.RootFolder;
int newId = GetLastId(myLst) + 1;
DocumentSet ds = DocumentSet.Create(parentFolder, newId.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), docsetCt.Id, properties, true);
ds.Item["Title"] = title
ds.Item.Update();
why is the sort order wrong?
if i do this query in the U2U Caml builder, the order is also wrong
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ID' Ascending='FALSE' /></OrderBy>
if i order by "created", the order is also wrong....
i don't get it....

Document Sets are great tools for grouping multiple documents together. However, if every set has exactly one document, it would be better to just upload the file and not place it within a Document Set:
Uploading documents using object model - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms454491(v=office.14).aspx
Uploading documents using web services -
http://cecildt.blogspot.com/2010/10/upload-documents-to-sharepoint-2010.html
If you have requirements to use Document Sets, keep in mind that this adds a layer of complexity beyond a simple Document Library. Behind the scenes, each Document Set is treated as a separate folder, and although can you query items within it, there might
be extra steps for getting the sort order to ignore the folder structure. Can you try setting the Scope to be "Recursive" and also specify that you are looking only for files and not folders:
<Eq><FieldRef Name='FSObjType'/><Value Type='Lookup'>1</Value></Eq></Where>

Can I perform a lookup to verify the value of a variable is contained in another list column?

I am working in Sharepoint Designer and am trying to figure out how I can set a condition in an approval workflow to only complete a task if the value of a variable is contained in another list column. So if I had a list called A with column
A1 and I am working in the approval workflow, I only want the approval to complete if my variable is equal to any value in list A column 1. Otherwise I want to keep the approval task pending. I am very new to sharepoint so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
You can use the condition "if any value equals value". Please refer below links for reference.

DB Tools List Columns.vi Error code -2147217865

Using DB Tools List Tables.vi I can sucessfully display the tables in the database. However when I attempt to read the colums from a existing table I get the following error -2147217865.
Conn Execute.vi->DB Tools List Columns.vi->Untitled 1<ERR>Exception occured in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'Department'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly. in Conn Execute.vi->DB Tools List Columns.vi->Untitled 1
What I found was that if a space was used in the name of the table I get the error. example "Forms List". If I changed the name of the table to "Forms_List", I am able to read the columns. My problem is that the database already exists with many table names that include spaces. If I rename a table the relationships are all deleted.
Anybody know a easier way than to redo the access database?

The problem is that names in databases should not have spaces. Table names, column names - no spaces... To make matters worse, different DBMS use different delimiters. Some use double quotes, some (like Jet) use square brackets. It can get messy very fast. How many tables do you have that have "bad" names in them? If you created the databases originally, you might be money ahead to recreate the database with good names and write a small program to transfer all the data to the new tables.
Mike...
PS: This sort of situation is why I always recommend that you don't create tables interactively. Take the time to write the SQL scripts to allow you to edit and recreate the entire database if necesary. Alternately, Oracle distributes (for free) a tool called Data Modeler that has a nice interface for defining database structure and can then generate the SQL scripts for you in versions that are compatable with several major DBMS.

How to open a hyperlink in a list column in a modal window

Hi guys,
I have a custom list with a custom column in which a workflow copies the URL of workflow task.
If I open that task with the same URL from the Title field in the workflow task list, the task opens in a modal window.
But if I open that URL from a custom hyperlink column in a custom list, it opens in the same main window, not in a modal window.
How can I achieve, that also in the custom list the task item opens in a modal window?
Is there any way e.g. with javascript?
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks in advance
matxxx
Forgot an additional info: The custom column doesn't have to be a hyperlink column. Also rich text would be fine as long as the link is opening in a modal window afterwards.

Sorting into Linked Lists

What I want to do is make a Linked List that has options.
1. Allows Duplicates & Non Sorted
2. Allows Duplicates & Sorted Alphabetically
3. Allows Duplicates & Sorted Reverse Alphabetically
4. Doesn't Allow Duplicates & Non Sorted
5. Doesn't Allow Duplicates & Sorted Alphabetically
6. Doesn't Allow Duplicates & Sorted Reverse Alphabetically
sortOrder and duplicate are my global variables controlling those two options.
Reverse alphabetical and alphabetical will just be opposites.
I've got the duplicates or non duplicates part working as well as non-sorted part.
    public void add(Object obj){
    // post: appends the specified element to the end of this list.
        Node temp = new Node(obj);
        Node current = head;
        Node hold = head;
        // starting at the head node, crawl to the end of the list
        //Takes care of duplicates
        if (!duplicate) {
            if (lookup(obj)) {
            return;
        System.out.println("OBJECT: " + obj.toString()); // See what I am passing
        if (sortOrder==0) { //non-sorted
            while(current.getNextNode() != null) {
                current = current.getNextNode();
        // the last node's "next" reference set to our new node
            current.setNext(temp);
        if (sortOrder<0) { // decreasing
            while(current.getNextNode() != null) {
                current = current.getNextNode();
                System.out.println("CURRENT: " + current.getData().toString()); //Where I am sitting in the list
                System.out.println("IF STATEMENT: "+ obj.toString().compareTo(current.getData().toString())); // Where the object sits alphabetically to current
                    if(obj.toString().compareTo(current.getData().toString())>0) {
                        hold.setNext(temp);
                        temp.setNext(current);
                        System.out.println("Object is closer to z Alphabetically");
                        return;
        // the last node's "next" reference set to our new node
/*    if (sortOrder>0) { // increasing
        while(current.getNextNode() != null) {
            current = current.getNextNode();
            System.out.println("CURRENT: " + current.getData().toString());
            if (obj.toString().compareTo(current.getData().toString())<0){
    // the last node's "next" reference set to our new node
                temp.setNext(current.getNextNode());
                current.setNext(temp);
                return;

sortOrder and duplicate are my global variables controlling those two options.Sounds like an implementation decision before its time to me, unless it's dictated by programs that you have no control over. Get your lists working and then decide how you want to implement your system parameters.

Validate list column based on entry from another column

Hi there
I would like to ensure that a value is entered in list column B, if there is a value of 'Yes' in list column A.
I assume this formula is entered in the Validation settings of the list, but cannot work out what is required.
Is it something like? =IF([Col-A]="Yes",IF(LEN([Col-B]<1,TRUE,FALSE),TRUE)
Thanks
Asher
Fast, Cheap, Good. Choose any Two!

Ahh, found a solution:
=IF([Col-A]="Yes",IF([Col-B]<>"",TRUE,FALSE),TRUE)
Now i need to do the same for other fields in the list, and these formulas must go together in the validation settings of the list, which is going to look messy.
If i want to do the same with columns C and D, how would i append this to the formula?
=IF([Col-C]="Yes",IF([Col-D]<>"",TRUE,FALSE),TRUE)
Thanks

Sorting singly linked list with minimum time complexity

Hi ...
anyone could tell me how can i sort singly linked list with minimum time complexity .... ????
Regards...

By MergeSort or QuickSort O(n log n). But then you
have to first extract the objects in the list,sort
them, then rebuild the list. But it will still bealot
faster than by keeping the list linked.Technically, I believe insertion sort is marginally
faster for small n ( <20 or so).Woohoo! So for 20 out of the possible 2147483648 array
sizes Insetion is faster!
Unfortunately, checking for that case probably wastes
all the time you get from using the faster sort...
That would depend on the actual distribution off array sizes. So it's an engineering decision.

Is there a way to know if my Content Type's fields are a Site columns or List columns

I am totally confused about Site columns, list columns and content types. as seems i will have the same column name , sometimes dealt with as site column while the other as list column. for example i created a new Issue tracking list which comes with the
following columns:-
now i realize that the Description column is a list column (not site column) because if i rename the site column named Description, this list column will not get affected, while column such as "Issue status" is a site column because if i rename
the site column named "Issue Status" the column inside the "Issue" content type will get affected. while there are two site columns named Description but none of them are used insidie the "Issue" content type, and the Description
field in the above picture is a list column !!
so can anyone advice from where i can differentiate if a column inside the Issue content type is a site column or is a list column ???
Thanks

Combine 2 different list columns and showning in 1 column

Hi,
Is it possible to combine columns of 2 different lists and show in one column?
I have a custom list called "Levels" which contain data like "Developer", "Tester". The levels have some training associated. Training is another column.
I have another custom list called "Project", which contain "project name" and also some training for each project. Training is another column.
I have another list in which i have user names which contain the level and project name columns as look up.
I want to show all the trainings attached to the user in another list in a single column.
Example: If user is a developer and part of project A, then column named training should show all the developer training and the project related training.
Note: custom coding is not possible.
How to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi,
For your issue, you can combine 2 different list columns into one cloumn using SharePoint Desinger Workflow with update list item action:

Protect Condition Value Column in VA01

I have a security problem on my sales orders: If somebody adds a line and enters the discount Z condition and some number on the value column, SAP updates the Order without going thru the regular checks of discount limit which it does on the amount column.
What I want is to put an if to check if the Amount column its 0, to delete the number on the condition value column, I have tried with ' ' but the value turns to cero and it does not show an error.
Here its the code:
IF xkomv-kbetr = 0.
        MOVE '' TO xkomv-kwert .
        MODIFY xkomv INDEX sy-tabix.
    ENDIF.
Regards,
Carlos
Edit: or if somebody knows how to make screen input = 0 (gray) for the Value Column that would be great.
Edited by: Carlos Salazar on Jul 9, 2010 4:09 PM

turns out 0 its correct as it will not get saved.
