Using Sharepoint List Columns to create a simple trend chart

Hello,
I am trying to use a single sharepoint list fields with as my data to create a chart.
I have only two columns I want to create the chart with: The date and time picker
column where the user picked a date and time and it is formatted accordingly and the Item ID.
I just want show how many items were created in each month and year. For e.g if there were 3 items created in between Jan 1st- 31st, 2014 then I want it to show a count of 3 for the month of Jan.
I used the MonthName and string conversion for the X axis and it seems to be showing the month and year, but I cannot get the items that were created to show up for each month.
Any guidance is welcome!
I would like to create a trend chart that shows how many

Hi PinkPowerRanger,
Per my understanding that you have two fields in the table "Date and Time picker" which is Date/time type and another is "Item ID", you need to get the Month from the Date field to display in the X-axis and count(Item ID) related to each
month to display in the Y-Axis, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can do this by create two calculated fields to get the month and year values from the Date/Time field.
Details information below for your reference:
Right click the main dataset to select the "Add Calculated field", specify an name of the new calculated field and add the expression in the field source as below:
Year: =Year(Fields!Date.Value)
Month: =MonthName(Month(Fields!Date.Value))
Add the three field in the Chart as below and remember in the Value area you have got the Count(ItemID) but not SUM(ItemID):
Preview you will got the chart like below:
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Hi MercuryMan,
Yes, Power View, a feature of SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 or SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition, is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience.
It provides multiple views featuring tiles, slicers, a chart filter, and a number of visualizations, including cards, small multiples, and a bubble chart. So, we can use Power View to do intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users such as data analysts, business
decision makers, and information workers.
Currently, Power View report only supports two types of data models: PowerPivot Worksheet, and data models based on Analysis Services Tabular Model or Multidimensional Cube.
In your scenario, you can create PowerPivot worksheets using SharePoint List as data source, deploy the PowerPivot worksheet to a SharePoint Library or PowerPivot Gallery, and then generate Power View reports based on the PowerPivot worksheets on the SharePoint
site.
To use SharePoint List as data source in Excel PowerPivot, you can refer to the following resource:

To create a Power View report based on PowerPivot model, you can refer to the following links:

WebPart average of a SharePoint list column

Hello;
I need a Web Part that displays the average of a SharePoint list columns
thank you

Open the AllItems.aspx page of that list in SharePoint Designer
Select a title and right click on it. Format item As -> Hyperlink to -> Edit Form
This will redirect you to edit form when the title column link is clicked.
But if you want to show the modal pop up it edit mode, open the Allitems.aspx page in designer
Select the list view web part, on the ribbon in the List View Tools -> Design tab -> Customize XSLT -> Customize Entire View
Switch to the code view, search for FORM_DISPLAY and change it to FORM_EDIT.

How to make a SharePoint list column ReadOnly using Sharepoint designer

Hi,
         I am new to sharepoint. Need to make a few columns readonly in a sharepoint list.  Not sure how. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Here is one more Simple and Best practice to be fallowed using powershell
http://soreddymanjunath.blogspot.in/2014/04/readonly-field-using-powershell.html
Cls
Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.Sharepoint.Powershell"
$web= Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://test.dev/sites/Wftest"
$ls=$web.Lists.TryGetList("test");
$flds=$ls.Fields["CustID"]
$flds.ReadOnlyField=$true
$flds.Update();
Note:  If
ReadOnlyField =TRUE,
the field is not displayed in New or Edit forms
ReadOnly to TRUE hides
the field from Site Settings pages for managing site columns and content types. Setting the Hidden attribute
to TRUE completely
hides the field from the UI.
Default  ReadOnlyField value
is set to false.
Best Practice is to Use
$flds.ShowInDisplayForm=$false;
$flds.ShowInEditForm=$false;

How to update SharePoint list columns including choice fields programmatically?

Hi All,
I have a requirement to update multiple columns (which are choice columns) in a SharePoint list. I'm a newbie at creating event receivers and timer jobs. Not sure which one to do and where to start first. There are approximately 4500
list items in the lists.  I was thinking I could use one list to maintain the Keywords and perform updates or timer job to any targeted lists.
Scenario. Anytime a power user of the sharepoint list wants to update any of the choice field items or possibly even the column name itself, they want to be able to make updates to any of the list
items or other
lists that contain the new name. The columns I'm using are all choice fields named Assigned To, Division, Region, Job Title, Department, and Zone.
Here's sample code for Updating list:
using     (SPSite oSPsite = new SPSite("team url/"))
using     (SPWeb oSPWeb = oSPsite.OpenWeb())
oSPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates =   true;
// get the List
SPList list = oSPWeb.Lists["Keywords"];
//Add a new item in the List
SPListItem itemToAdd = list.Items.Add();
itemToAdd["Title"] = "My Title Field";
itemToAdd["Assigned To"] = "Assigned To";
itemToAdd.Update();
// Get the Item ID
listItemId = itemToAdd.ID;
// Update the List item by ID
SPListItem itemToUpdate = list.GetItemById(listItemId);
itemToUpdate["Assigned To"] = "Assigned To Updated";
itemToUpdate.Update();
// Delete List item
SPListItem itemToDelete = list.GetItemById(listItemId);
itemToDelete.Delete();
oSPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates =   false;
Any help is greatly appreciated. Please provide code sample and references. Thanks!

Thanks Ramakrishna -- Here's what I have so far.

        class MyTimerJob : SPJobDefinition
            public MyTimerJob()

                SPList Listjob = contentDb.Sites[0].RootWeb.Lists["ListTimerJob"];
                // Add a new list Item

SSIS Data Flow task using SharePoint List Adapter Setting SiteUrl won't work with an expression

Hi,
I'm trying to populate the SiteUrl from a variable that has been set based on a query to a SQL table that has a URL field. Here are the steps I've taken and the result.
Created a table with a url in it to reference a SharePoint Task List.
Created a Execute SQL Task to grab the url putting the result set in a variable called SharePointUrl
Created a For Each container and within the collection I use the SharePointUrl as the ADO object source variable and select rows in the first table.
Still in the For Each container within the Variable mappings I have another Package Variable called PassSiteUrl2 and I set that to Index 0 or the value of the result set.
I created a script task to then display the PassSiteUrl2 variable and it works great I see my url
This is where it starts to suck eggs!!!!
I insert a Data Flow Task into my foreach loop.
I Insert a SharePoint List Adapter into my Data Flow
Within my SharePoint List Adapter I set my list to be "Tasks", My list view to be "All Tasks" and then I set the url to be another SharePoint site that has a task list just so there is some default value to start with.
Now within my Data Flow I create an expression and set the [SharePoint List Source].[SiteUrl] equal to my variable @[User::PassSiteUrl2].
I save everything and run my SSIS package and it overlays the default [SharePoint List Source].[SiteUrl] with blanks in the SharePoint List Adapter then throws the error that its missing a url
So here is my question. Why if my package variable displays fine in my Control Flow is it now not seen or seen as blanks in the Data Flow Expression. Anyone have any ideas???
Thanks
Donald R. Landry

Thanks Arthur,
The scope of the variable is at a package level and when I check to see if it can be moved Package level is the highest level. The evaluateasexpression property is set to True. Any other ideas?
I also tried to do the following. Take the variable that has the URL in it and just assign it to the description of the data flow task to see if it would show up there (the idea being the value of my @[User::PassSiteUrl] should just show in the
description field when the package is run. That also shows up blank.
So i'm thinking its my expression. All I do in the expression is set [SharePoint List Source].[SiteUrl] equal to @[User::PassSiteUrl] by dragging and dropping the variable into the expression box. Maybe the expression should be something
else or is their a way to say @[User::PassSiteUrl] = Dts.Variables("User::PassSiteUrl2").Value.ToString()
In my script task I use Dts.Variables("User::PassSiteUrl2").Value.ToString() to display
the value in the message box and that works fine.

Using a List Component to create a photo gallery.

This feels like a lot to be asking but i'm gonna go ahead and
ask to see what happens.
I'm trying to figure out how to use a list component to
select 6 items from a large list, display the words to the 6
selected items (in a text field), then finally (by pressing a
button) I would like to load the 6 corresponding pictures for the
selected items into a seperate frame. If there is anyone that could
point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. I
have been trying to find information online about programming the
List Component but haven't had any luck. Is there a book that
anyone recommends that could help me? I've been doing simple
animations and websites in flash but i'm now looking to learn some
actionscripting as well. Thanks.

Hi PinkPowerRanger,
Per my understanding that you have two fields in the table "Date and Time picker" which is Date/time type and another is "Item ID", you need to get the Month from the Date field to display in the X-axis and count(Item ID) related to each
month to display in the Y-Axis, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can do this by create two calculated fields to get the month and year values from the Date/Time field.
Details information below for your reference:
Right click the main dataset to select the "Add Calculated field", specify an name of the new calculated field and add the expression in the field source as below:
Year: =Year(Fields!Date.Value)
Month: =MonthName(Month(Fields!Date.Value))
Add the three field in the Chart as below and remember in the Value area you have got the Count(ItemID) but not SUM(ItemID):
Preview you will got the chart like below:
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

ISO help using SharePoint Designer 2010 to create an External Content Types from a table that has many columns

I am trying to create an external content type for a specific list. The problem is that there are so many columns (more than 200) that I get the error:
The operation(s) generation creates an SQL query which exceeds the length limit in Business Data
Connectivity Metadata Store. The operation(s) will not be generated. Recreate
the operation(s) with less number of columns in the configuration.
I tried turning off a dozen columns and I am still getting this error. I am nearing the limit of the "extra" columns I can eliminate.
What is the actual limit on number of columns?
Thank you.

Hi,
From my research, it seems to be the limitation in response TTL and response size. To confirm
it, would you please check the detailed errors logged in ULS log? <o:p></o:p>
