Unable to export all columns from sharepoint 2010 survey

Have a user that cannot export all columns from a sharepoint survey. When exported, he only gets 3 columns. We've tried a number of things, including exporting from the overview view. We've also made sure that readers had full edit rights, etc. Just for
background, this survey does contain branching logic. Any ideas?

I have had
exactly the same problem before.
There's already a ton of suggestions on these blogs, and I suspect there is a bug somewhere.
As I'm lucky to have Reporting Services in SharePoint mode, I've been using it to export Survey data, pre-process it, and export it to Excel or PDF.

  • Exporting ( all rows) from 11g OBIEE Analytics

    Just recently converted to OBIEE 11g, and I am unable to export all rows from a query results set.
    It appears to only export the results displayed in the presentation view. Our export parameter is 2500 rows however the maximum it will export is 500 rows. And if I expand the results set it will only show and export 500 rows at a time. ( and yes even with the parameter set to render 65000 rows in the presentation view.
    Help with exporting all query results in OBIEE Analytics needed.
    Edited by: user9369009 on Feb 10, 2011 12:44 PM

    Hi Lamonte,
    Increase the size of <MaxCells>50000</MaxCells> (Default 50000) (This number should not exceed the product of MaxVisibleColumns times MaxVisibleRows, which is what the system attempts to render.), Once you change the value the download option will download more rows.
    By Default <MaxVisibleColumns> is set to 300 columns and based on what value you have set to <MaxVisibleRows>, just change the <MaxCells> option.
    Eg., if you have set MaxVisibleRows to 10000, then change the MaxCells value to 10000*300 = 3000000. Once this is down, you will be able to download upto 10000 rows.
    Thanks,

  • Error: Unable to find all subVIs from saved VIs.

    TestStand 2010 SP1, LabVIEW 2011, WinXP
    Trying to build a deployment in TestStand.
    During the build, I get the now-infamous popup:
    Title: "Save Modified VIs?"
    Text: "An error occured while trying to read the dependencies of your VIs; a possible cause for this problem is VIs not saved in the current version of LabVIEW. Would you like to save any modified VIs now?"
    I select "yes", and the build then fails with errors in the log pane of the "Build Status" window.  The error is:
    Error: Unable to find all subVIs from saved VIs, either a subVI is missing or the VI is not saved under the current LabVIEW version.
    The missing file path is:  etc, etc.
    I go to said missing path.  The VI is in fact present.  I open the VI and do "Save All", try again.  Same thing.  Then, I try a Mass Compile on the test VI directory.  Attempt to build again, same error.
    Note that I do call some VIs dynamically, but those are all present in my workspace, and are not found in this error.
    Is there a debugging option or log file or some kind of trace I can do to dig into this and find out the state of things causing the error?  Please help me out here.
    -Andy

    One quick way to narrow down the issue is to change your LabVIEW adapter to Run-Time engine and then try and run the sequence in the Sequence Editor.
    Also, triple check your search directories and make sure you're not pulling in VIs from an unexpected location.
    When you see that dialog it's already too late to save so trying to Save at that point never works.
    Another tip is to ignore which VIs it says are not saved in the current version and instead look at the subVIs that those VIs are calling. You can run into this if you have two subVIs loaded with the same name.

    I am unable to export my contacts from my iPhone 4 to the hands free unit on my Honda Civic VTI-LN.    Has anybody had this problem and found a solution.

    Strange that your dealer could not help.
    When my car was in for its 6 month service in July/August I mentioned this problem to the dealer service dept  (Northway Honda, Bundoora, Vic)
    The person booking the car in told me an update to the software was needed and that they would do the update.
    I don't know if it was free as there was no specific listing of a software update on the invoice - just a lot of item numbers.
    All has been well since

  • TestStand Deplyment Error- Error: Unable to locate all subVIs from saved VIs because a subVI is missing

    Hi,
    I am a Systems and Software Engineer based in Vancouver. I developed an automated test system using LabVIEW 2013 and TestStand 2013 with custom operator interface.
    I encountered 'missing VIs' problem which is kind of weird because I passed analyzing the sequence for both TestStand Sequence Editor and TestStand Deployment Utility >> Distrubuted Files Tab.
    But when I tried building the installer and reaching the point 'Calling distribution VIs, it always throw an error saying 'An error occurred while trying to read the depencies of the VIs, possible because the VIs are not saved in the current version of LabVIEW. Do you want to save any modified now?'. I tried both cases (i.e. Yes and No) for this option but it did not solve the issue.
    This is part of the original error message displayed in TestStand Deployment Utility:
    While Processing VIs...
    Error: Unable to locate all subVIs from saved VIs because a subVI is missing or the VI is not saved in the current version of LabVIEW.
    The call chain to missing VIs:
    1 - ATE_AccelerometerTest.vi
    2 - CreateAndMergeErrors.vi (missing)
    3 - LogControl_CheckForErrorSendUpdates.vi (missing) "
    All missing VIs are coming from userlib.
    Actions Done:
    - Analyzed sequence file using TestStand Sequence Editor and TestStand Deployment Utility
    - Verified 'Search Directories' include all necessary files/dependencies.
    - Mass compile the directory of the missing VIs
    - Added all needed files and folders in the workspace file.
    The result is still the same based from the actions done.
    The last debugging I did earlier is that I tried locating the sequence and steps of missing VIs as mentioned above (e.g. ATE_AccelerometerTest.vi)
    and I found out that the step seems to be an empty action step. Would this be possible even if it already passed the analysis?
    Other considerations include:
    I am using LabVIEW 2013 sp1 and TestStand 2013. We tried building from three (3) computers and we only succeeded once to a freshly-installed comptuer.
    Hope to hear from you soon.

    Hi All,
    We were able to resolve the issue. First to note is that the release notes in TestStand 2013 is outdated and we confirmed from NI Engineer in Austin that TestStand 2013 works fine with LabVIEW 2013 SP1.
    Secondly, we played around TestStand Deployment option that resolved the issue. Attached are the images.
    We just enabled the 'Remove Unused VI Components'. It could be one of the libraries (lvlib) we included in the build but we haven't figured it out yet because we verified that all VIs are working. It could be also something else that I think very difficult to find based from the information. However, if anybody experienced the same issue, this could be helpful.
    Again, we revert back in using TestStand 2013 and LabVIEW 2013 SP1.
    I appreciate any comments and feedbacks. Otherwise, you can close this support request.
    Thank you.

    Hi Rashid,
    Before Creating the Service Application, User Profile Service should be started as Central Administration -> Manage Services on server -> Start User Profile Service.
    After the serivce is started, then test again, compare the result.
    Also, you can upgrade User Profile service as the following article:

  • Multiple SharePoint 2010 Survey Questions

    Hi All
    Apologies if this has been answered and solved somewhere else, but I have probably spent 4 days looking through the web for answers.
    We have a SharePoint survey with multiple page breaks and branching. Here are the issues we need solutions for, please let me know if I need to add them as separate questions:
    We need to change the "Specify your own value:" field to say "Other:" instead. I've read and tried the article from iedaddy
    http://iedaddy.com/2012/05/sharepoint-2010-change-survey-option-specify-your-own-value-to-other/ multiple times, but I'm having no luck in getting it to work.
    We also need to limit the number of checkboxes that can be selected to 3 in a multiple answers can be selected section. I've read the article on doing this
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2770077/using-javascript-to-limit-survey-choices-to-three-unique-values but that doesn't work and looks like it might only be for 2007, even though some of the commenters said it worked on 2010.
    Then we need to be able to export an individual's response to either a PDF or word format or be able to print it straight from the page. When right clicking and printing on the page it has the sides cut off. Someone suggested removing the "nowrap"
    tag, but I'm unsure that will solve it and I'm not sure how to do that in SPD.
    I also need to redirect the user to a "Thank you" page once they click finish. I've found a solution that works for a one pager, but since we use page breaks, this does not work.
    I have access to SDP and limited knowledge of coding, but am willing to try.
    Please accept my apologies if there are solutions for these, but I have not been able to locate any that worked for me on the web.
    Thank you!

    Hi, for your first problem I faced it sometime back and though not the sturdiest solution, it did function for me since I did not have very many "Specify your own values" to change.
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/9349cde4-1ab6-40b3-b572-a7ddea748d8f/sharepoint-2010-survey-add-additional-text-boxes-beside-choicescheckboxes?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious#4fdcdd7f-0443-4a98-b9d8-8527fad05d59
    Looking at your other requirements, I am reminded of my own when I started off with the OOTB SharePoint survey and realized that it is very cumbersome to customize it because it will need you to meddle with the MasterPage and you don't want to take a risk
    in Prod environment. I would suggest you to look into other options like InfoPath. InfoPath gives you a much easier platform to design and customize surveys. Page breaks are very easy to design. You can also implement your own code for PDF and publish it as
    an admin template. I can promise you that the surveys come out much prettier.

  • Error when exporting to Excel for SharePoint 2010 List

    We have few users who are getting the following error message when they try to export to Excel from the SharePoint list:
    "An operation that uses the database driver could not be completed. If the driver is a Microsoft driver, make sure the driver file isn’t damaged, and if it is, reinstall the driver by reinstalling Microsoft Query. For other drivers, contact
    your database administrator or driver vendor.‘
    The export option works for me on my machine and also tested it out on other users' machines without issues. The list is currently holds 29763 items.
    1. Created a view that filter the list to show few items, and the user was able to export without issues.
    2. Followed the steps in the following Blog:
    http://www.sharepointserverrecovery.com/blog/troubleshooting-problems-when-exporting-sharepoint-list-data-to-excel-spreadsheet-and-fixing-database-corruption/ and the user was able to export the original list.
    3. My colleagues and I don't have any issues exporting to Excel. (Note: even my test account, that does not have any special permissions or members of any SharePoint group(s)).
    4. Some Blog/Forums suggest to increase Threshold limit in Central Admin, which we don't want to do, since the issue only affect certain users.
    Any idea on how to troubleshoot/resolve the issue?
    Thanks,
    Yassar

    Do they have to export all the information or is a subset of it ok? 
    Creating an index on the columns that your users interact with the most and then creating views that limit the returned results will be useful.  This will then allow an export.

    Hello Shahid,
    Your question has been quite clearly answered here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/126076e8-7511-44cc-9c59-ce8cdd534758/sharepoint-foundation-2010-ocr-help?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
    If you are looking for an OCR solution that will allow you to use the full-text search without having to dive into all the technicalities of it, maybe Udocx is something for you (see Udocx.com). It allows you to upload documents from your MFP and desktop
    directly into SharePoint folders including OCR and metadata.
