Using a Search Window to Filter Data In PowerPivot on Sharepoint?

When viewing a PowerPivot workbook natively all is well. However when I save it to Sharepoint and view it via a browser, I find that the option to filter data by typing in a value is no longer present. (All there is is an extremely LONG list of values
which must be scrolled through and checked.) Being able to type in a value to search on is rather crucial feature when one wants to filter on a row where there may be thousands (or more) distinct values. Using a slicer or the standard filter drop-down in this
case is pretty unworkable! Is there no way around this?

Hi Ed, we have a workaround that one of my team members found.
Even though there doesn't appear to be a way to have a search window associated with a long filter list, it is possible to filter by column, by clicking on its respective drop-down to bring up a short-cut menu. From there you can expand either the
"Label Filters" or "Value Filters" sub-menu (depending on your data-type) and bring up, among other options, the "Contains..." dialog box. It's not as convenient but it does the job.
Now we just need to check with our users that this is an acceptable solution. Thanks.

Filter data from Powerpivot to Excel

Hi Everyone
Is there a way to filter data from Powerpivot to Excel so that you are only selecting a subset of records to pivot over in Excel?
Paul

Hello Paul,
Your requirement isn't quite clear for me, can you explain it more detailed, please?
If you add a PivotTable with PowerPivot as data source, then you can use slicer/filter in the PivotTable to filter a subset of the existing data.

I just upgraded to Lion and now cannot add attachments to my emails in Safari or use the search window. What gives?

I had been holding off upgrading to Lion because of the bad press, but discovered that I could no longer receive email on my Mac because my iPhone had been moved to iClound by an Apple tech when it had to be replaced, and my Snow Leopard version wouldn't support iCloud. So I upgraded to Lion and immediately began having trouble. First I was told that several of my software applications were incompatible and had been removed. Then I discovered that Safari (apparently the latest version 5.1.3) had lost functionality. I can't attach anything to my emails and the search window is grayed out and inoperable. Is there a fix or do I need to retreat to Snow Leopard? Bob Kellam

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
As Guest, test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

How do I unhide the URL window/field that allows me to directly enter a different URL without using the Search Window/field?

I need to unhide the window or field that allows me to DIRECTLY enter a different URL. I do not want to use the search engine. I want to manually enter the URL of my choice and go DIRECTLY there.
So, how do I unhide the URL window?

It is still there at the left most part part of the address bar, but you have to press and hold the trackpad to use it.
Click the Share (arrow out of the box) button to add bookmark.

Including a date in a photo caption and being able to use the search function for the date

I have included both a text and a date as part of the photo caption on each of my photos. When I have attempted to search for a specific date or year, however, nothing comes up. For example, if I search for my photo on "Fido 1985", I can find Fido, but if I simply enter "1985", I get nothing.

Use Find >> By Caption Name or Note menu option for such a search.
Thanks

What's the version of your Excel version?
I found that the limitation is in the number if unique items it can list in the dropdown: 10,000 which is a significant increase over Excel's limit.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/excel-specifications-and-limits-HP010342495.aspx#BMpivottable
This is a display limitation, and the data is not missing. We can still use the Search box in
Filter to find the items over 10000.

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:

Windows NDIS filter - how to check if port is used by operating system

Hi,
I am writing a windows NDIS filter driver (for versions 6.0,6.2.6.3) and would like to be able to query from inside the kernel about the status of a tcp port (is it in use?).
The function: FilterReceiveNetBufferLists is called when I receive a packet. Afterwards the tcp header of the packet is extracted. I want to check if the destination port which I've extracted from the header is being used on the local machine.
Can I use WSK Network API, WFP or some other API to check if a port is being used by the operating system? and if so how do I do it?
Thanks in advance!

This won't be easy, but you can get the address table by sending IOCTL_TCP_QUERY_INFORMATION_EX to \Device\TCP as documented
here. You'll need to spend some time looking at TCPIOCTL.H in the SDK, too. If you search the Internet for IOCTL_TCP_QUERY_INFORMATION_EX, you'll find some hints on how to use it.

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

HT6114 Can't save downloads to existing files?? In the "save as" box I use the little "search" window to locate where I want to put a new file but when found the location file does not operate. And dropdown menu says "save to online acct"

When I try to save an emailed-to-me document to an existing file on my hard drive by using the little "search" window the recipient file is inactive and does not open to recieve the document I want to save (nothing happens when I click on it and it's a subdued color).
If I click through my files manually by starting on the desktop and working my way to the location of the recipient file I can save.
This takes a lot of time and is DRIVING ME CRAZY!
Please tell me I've just missed something obvious that can be fixed in a jiffy!?

OMG!! It also happens when I try to open a file from inside a program like Adobe Reader. If I use the little corner search window all the files are inoperable.

How do I get all the control buttons in one place in 3.6.16, like they used to be in previous versions? Having the refresh and stop buttons between address and search windows, and the home button to the far right is awful.

In 3.6.16, the buttons are all over the place. In previous versions, the forward, back, refresh, stop and home buttons were all together. In this version, the refresh and stop buttons are between the address and search windows, and the home button to the far right.
I would love to have them all together as they used to be - much more user friendly that way. I have tried installing alternate themes, but the coding of this version over-rides the themes.

Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload and Stop and Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar.
To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
* Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
* Move the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the location bar.
* Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
* Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant do not restore MS Windows, it only does the OS X partition. All of your Windows stuff must be backed up and restore using a MS Windows application. If no one on this forum is able to answer your question then I'd repost it on a Parallels forum to see how other Windows users approach this.
