Variables - unique values

Hi Guys
I have a variable with reference characteristic 0Asset_afab. I want only unique values in the input select, ie Depreciation Area = 1 is listed hundreds of times. I want it to appear once.
Also, How do I create Variable in BI7. All the threads in the forums refer to 3.x.
Thanks
Abu Muhammad

Hi Abu,
You can refer to 3.x version document also, there is no difference in creating variable in 7.0 except for visualization.
If you are getting many rows for depriciation area, that means there are some other field which you should consider for selection or you should write customer exit variable. In our case depriciation area are compounded with transaction type.

Unable to Enforce Unique Values, Duplicate Values Exist

I have list in SP 2010, it contains roughly 1000 items. I would like to enforce unique values on the title field. I started by cleaning up the list, ensuring that all items already had a unique value. To help with this, I used the export
to excel action, then highlight duplicates within Excel. So as far as I can tell, there are no duplicates within that list column.
However, when I try to enable the option to Enforce Unique Values, I receive the error that duplicate values exist within the field and must be removed.
Steps I've taken so far to identify / resolve duplicate values:
- Multiple exports to Excel from an unfiltered list view, then using highlight duplicates feature > no duplicates found
- deleted ALL versions of every item from the list (except current), ensured they were completely removed by deleting from both site and site collection recycle bins
- Using the SP Powershell console, grabbed all list items and exported all of the "Title" type fields (Item object Title, LinkTitle, LinkTitleNoMenu, etc) to a csv and ran that through excel duplicate checking as well.
Unless there's some rediculous hidden field value that MS expects anyone capable of attempting to enforce unique values on a list (which is simple enough for anyone to figure out - if it doesn't throw an error), then I've exhausted anything I can think
of that might cause the list to report duplicate values for that field.
While I wait to see if someone else has an idea, I'm also going to see what happens if I wipe the Crawl Index and start it from scratch.

First, I create index for a column in list settings, it works fine no matter duplicate value exists or not;
then I set enforce unique values in the field, after click OK, I get duplicate values error message.
With SQL Server profiler, I find the call to proc_CheckIfExistingFieldHasDuplicateValues and the parameters. After reviewing this stored procedure in content database,
I create the following script in SQL Server management studio:
declare @siteid
uniqueidentifier
declare @webid
uniqueidentifier
declare @listid
uniqueidentifier
declare @fieldid
uniqueidentifier
set @siteid='F7C40DC9-E5D3-42D7-BE60-09B94FD67BEF'
set @webid='17F02240-CE04-4487-B961-0482B30DDA84'
set @listid='B349AF8D-7238-419D-B6C4-D88194A57EA7'
set @fieldid='195A78AC-FC52-4212-A72B-D03144DC1E24'
SELECT
* FROM TVF_UserData_List(@ListId)
AS U1 INNER
MERGE JOIN
            NameValuePair_Latin1_General_CI_AS
AS NVP1 WITH (INDEX=NameValuePair_Latin1_General_CI_AS_MatchUserData)
ON NVP1.ListId
= @ListId AND NVP1.ItemId
= U1.tp_Id
AND ((NVP1.Level
= 1 AND U1.tp_DraftOwnerId
IS NULL)
OR NVP1.Level
= 2)
AND NOT((DATALENGTH(ISNULL(NVP1.Value,
= 0)) AND U1.tp_Level
= NVP1.Level
AND U1.tp_IsCurrentVersion
= CONVERT(bit, 1)
AND U1.tp_CalculatedVersion
= 0 AND U1.tp_RowOrdinal
= 0 INNER
MERGE JOIN
            NameValuePair_Latin1_General_CI_AS
AS NVP2 WITH (INDEX=NameValuePair_Latin1_General_CI_AS_CI)
ON NVP2.SiteId
= @SiteId AND NVP2.ListId
= @ListId AND NVP2.FieldId
= @FieldId AND NVP2.Value
= NVP1.Value
AND NVP2.ItemId <> NVP1.ItemId
CROSS APPLY TVF_UserData_ListItemLevelRow(NVP2.ListId, NVP2.ItemId,
NVP2.Level, 0)
AS U2 WHERE ((NVP2.Level
= 1 AND U2.tp_DraftOwnerId
IS NULL)
OR NVP2.Level
= 2)
AND NOT((DATALENGTH(ISNULL(NVP2.Value,
= 0))
I can find the duplicate list items based on the result returned by the query above.
Note that you need to change the parameter values accordingly, and change the name of NameValuePair_Latin1_General1_CI_AS table based on the last parameter of the
proc_CheckIfExistingFieldHasDuplicateValues stored procedure. You can review the code of this stored procedure by yourself.
Note that direct operation on the content database in production environment is not supported, please do all these in test environment.

Get unique values from Parent List in Dropdown List SPServices

I have a dropdown list created using the SPServices ($().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns). It works as it should, I just need to add a requirement. I need to be able to filter the Parent Lookup list to show only unique values.
$().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns({
relationshipList: "ROInsComp",
relationshipListParentColumn: "AIP-RY",
relationshipListChildColumn: "NameAndCode",
parentColumn: "AIP-RY",
childColumn: "NameAndCode",
debug: true});
The issue is that in AIP-RY I have stored Years and each year could be repeated several times
I followed some of the recommendations from this blog:
GetListItems Unique Values
I this is what I tried:
$.ajax({
url: weburl+'https://my-site/_layouts/filter.aspx?ListId='+escape('{544C8B6A-C9B3-4BA‌D-B9CF-B032E5FD07DB}')+'&FieldInternalName='+"AIP-RY" + '&ViewId='+escape('{4B433420-156F-4F4F-9E3C-551DC43B593C}')+'&FilterOnly=1&Filte‌r=1',
success: function(data) {
alert('It worked!');}
No luck so far! Thanks!
EM

Thanks for looking into this. I'm not sure this would work: SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns
only works (as far as I know) for elements from the same list.

Getting unique values from internal table

Hi Gurus,
From time to time I hit this problem and so far I havn't found any nice solution. I've an internal table with several fields. I would like to get all unique values for one (or several) of these fields. However let say that this table has a lot of entries so making a copy is not an option. Also changing this table in any way is forbiden.
For example for table below I would like to get all unique values for field Number. In this case it would be 1,2,3,4.
Name | Number |
name1 | 1|
name2 | 2|
name3 | 2|
name4 | 3|
name5 | 4|
name5 | 3|
Can anyone propose me better solution than going in the loop through all entries in table? Maybe there is some ABAP functionality that I don't know about?
BR
Marcin Cholewczuk

Let's say that if I sort this table I won't be able to restore it to previous order which is important for me
True...If you sort the table you won't be able to restore. So the only option is to copy/move all the records into another table.
Sorting If you need to retrive unique values. I don't think without sorting the table would be a nice idea and proper programming to proceed ahead.
Regarding logic, as replied earlier
Either we can go with DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES or proceed as replied in my earlier post. There might be number of algorithms to resolve this. But we cannot go ahead without sorting or looping.

Getting unique values from an arraylist

Hi
I have an arraylist that contains stringbuffer objects. The arraylist has duplicate values of the objects. I have to create another arraylist with only the unique values from the first arraylist. I tried it many ways and using many functions, but no luck. Can someone provide me the code for this , as i need to do this urgently.
Thank U
Mansoor,

> Sanity check: when are StringBuffers equal?
Same character sequence.
[EDIT] Or so I thought. Just tested, and found I was wrong. A quick glance at the API confirmed my error; StringBuffer doesn't override Object.equals().

Get previous items unique value in new add item form

Hi
I have on list having items related to multiple locations.
Every location is related to one user.
When user logs in it filters the list with that users location.
Now when user click on add new item I want to get the data related to his location using item event listener.
But in new item form there is no way to get the location of that user in event listener as its new item.
So I passed the qury string parameter form list and changed the add item form link and form to get the query string paramter as default value in Add new Item form.
But again when user clicks on save button it redirects to original url without paramter.
How to redirect user to url with parameter on click on Save/Cancel.
Is there any other way to get the previous item unique value in add new item from before executing the event listener?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to redirect user to url with parameter on click on Save/Cancel.
You need to modify the onclick event need to as below:
javascript: {{ddwrt:GenFireServerEvent('__redirect={{Home.aspx?Participant={@Participant}&@Activity={@Activity}}}')}}
Here is a similar thread for your reference:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b506cfe5-650e-4017-b470-9ca0a75cd390/sharepoint-2010-list-how-to-pass-parameters-in-a-url-to-another-page?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious
In addition, you can creating an intermediate page which just finds the filed value with a DVWP and then redirect to RedirectURL with the filed value on the Query String.
For more information, you can refer to:
Redirect to Another Page from NewForm.aspx with the New Item’s ID

2. If not then how can we use this variable value to invoke ws request in next step ?
Would like to appreciate help.
Pls reply.

This column cannot enforce unique values because this list or document library may contain items that are not viewable by all users.

The above error occurs when I place unique constraint on a column in a custom list. This error only occurs because the custom list has been configured to only allow creaters to view and edit their own list items.
I just can't see why that should prevent SP from placing a unique value constraint though.
One easy workaround would be to place the unique constraint on the SQL Server table that represents this list. However, in a hosted environment, it is not always possible to gain access to the backend server. What is more, I am uncomfortable with this
approach as it may break other parts of SP 2010.
Is there any other approach?

Hi,
If SharePoint were to enforce uniqueness on a column in a list where users are only allowed to see and edit list items that have created, then you could have a scenario where -
a. user1 tries to add a new item to the list which violates the uniqueness constraint
b. SharePoint reports an error
c. user1 gets to know that there is another item containing the same value in this list
d. this violates the security settings that you configured (each user should be allowed to only see the items that they have created). Now if you change the permissions settings to allow users to SEE all items, but only
edit items that they have created, this error disappears (obviously).
Now getting to the workaround you mentioned (creating a unique constraint on the SQL Server table). This is not going to be possible for numerous reasons -
a. Modifying (or for that matter, even performing SELECT operations on) the SQL Server tables is an unsupported operation and it will definetely break other things in SharePoint, not
to mention that you will lose all support options from Microsoft. However if you don't care about this, then it will still not be technically possible because...
1. SharePoint does not create a new SQL Server table for every list/library.
2. If you did get around to enforcing a unique constraint in the one single table that SharePoint uses for all lists, then you will be enforcing this constraint on each and every list in all the sites and in all the site
collections that are assigned to that content database.

How do I count the unique value pairs in two columns of a table?

I have a table (Table 2) that is populated with data from an imported .csv file. On table 1 I need to count the unique value pairs in two columns of Table 2.
Here's what I have:
Date                                        Person
7/10/2011                         A
7/12/2011                         W
7/12/2011                         X
7/12/2011                         X
7/12/2011                         X
7/12/2011                         Z
7/14/2011                         Z
7/15/2011                 X
7/16/2011                         Z
I'm focusing on person "X" and can easily count how many days that person shows up but what I want is to see on how many unique days that person shows up.
Here's the result I'm looking for (Person "X" shows up on 2 different days - 3 times on 7/12/2011 and once on 7/15/2011):
X                    2
I can't seem to find a function that allows me to do that. I also am not allowed to modify Table 2 so that leaves me to come up with a solution on Table 1.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi John,
Not being allowed to modify Table 2 is a minor inconvenience. Just copy (using a formula) the necessary two columns onto Table 1.
Yellow columns may be hidden. The procedure progresses from left to right. All formulas are entered into row 2 then filled down that column to the end of the table. The table must be as long as the list in column A of Table 2.
A2: =Table 2::A
Fill right to column B.
Fill both columns down as far as needed.
I've used actual Date and Time values in column A, formatted to show only the Date part, but the technique will work with text in these cells, provided all cells representing the same 'date' have exactly the same content.
C2: =A&B
This concatenates the contents of each row of columns A and B into a single text string.
D2: =COUNTIF($C$2:C2,C)
This counts the number of occurrences of the Date&Name string on the current row from the first regular cell in column C (C2) to the current cell.
E2: =IF(COUNTIF($B$2:B2,B)=1,MAX($E$1:E1)+1,"")
This constructs the index of first occurrences of each name, in the order they first occur. The index is used by LOOKUP in column F.
F2: =IF(ROW()-1>MAX(E),"",LOOKUP(ROW()-1,$E,$B))
This uses the index value created in E as a search-for value to extract a single copy of the names in column B. The result is a list of all distinct names in the list. Note that spelling differences will be counted as distinct names.The IF statement stops the listing when the last distinct name is extracted.
G2: =IF(LEN(F)>0,COUNTIFS($B,"="&F,$D,"=1"),"")
This counts the number of 'first occurrences of distinct Date & Name strings for each name on the list (ie. the number of distinct dates on which each name appears in the original list).
All of the functions used are described, with at least one example for each, in the iWork formulas and Functions User Guide. You can download the guide, and the Numbers '09 User Guide, via the Help menu in numbers.

Mapping Problem.. I Need to pass Unique value everytime to Target filed.

Hi All,
I need to pass some unique value everytime the message processed to the target field.
Source filed ---> Target Field
can anyone has the UDF to generate like this.. ?
I heard that through RFCLookup we can do that.. by maintaing some table and taking 2 parameters one as input and one as output and everytime when the message processes it will add by one to the previous value and pass to the target field.
I dont know much about these lookups..
Can anyone through some light on this, how i can solve this issue.??
Waiting for your answers.
Thanks&Regards
Deepthi.

Hi Liang,
That's my exact issue.Please let me know when you find the solution.
Actually i tried with some UDF.. its generating unique values whenever mapping is executed.But when we Reboot the system we found that its reinitializing again from "1".
So definetly we need to maintain the count in some database and system has to update evytime according to that.
Iam trying something by calling RFC from UDF and updating the Ztable by incrementing everytime.
I wil let you know if i find any solution..
Meanwhile anyone wants to suggest me... Please respond.
Thanks
Deepthi.

How to have a unique value for each record??

How to generate a unique value for each record.??

could any 1 help me out in this...
I want to have a column name 'Order No' which should be unique.
How to generate a unique value for each record.?? If you are using SQL PLUS to create the table try something like
this:
CREATE TABLE ORDER_TEST (
ORD_NO NUMBER (8) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
ORDERDATE DATE,
CUSTID NUMBER (8) NOT NULL,
SHIPDATE DATE,
TOTAL NUMBER (8,2) CONSTRAINT TOTAL_ZERO CHECK
(TOTAL >= 0),
CONSTRAINT ORD_FOREIGN_KEY FOREIGN KEY (CUSTID) REFERENCES
CUSTOMER (CUSTID),
CONSTRAINT ORD_UNIQUE UNIQUE (ORD_NO)
-- or a simpler table example
DROP TABLE ORDER_TEST;
CREATE TABLE ORDER_TEST (
ORD_NO NUMBER (8),
ORDERDATE DATE,
CUSTID NUMBER (8) NOT NULL,
SHIPDATE DATE,
TOTAL NUMBER (8,2) CONSTRAINT TOTAL_ZERO CHECK
(TOTAL >= 0),
CONSTRAINT ORD_UNIQUE UNIQUE (ORD_NO)
note: ORD_NO can also be a primary key
If you are doing the INSERT during runtime from a form first
create a sequence in SQL PLUS to handle the ORD_NO value:
Create SEQUENCE ORDERNO_UNIQUEVAL_sqnc
START WITH 000001
NOMAXVALUE
NOCACHE;
and reference it as the ORD_NO parameter in your INSERT
statement:
ORDERNO_UNIQUEVAL_sqnc.NEXTVAL
note: to maintain data integrity you must use the sequence
everytime you insert a new order to table. To start a new
sequence drop the sequence and re-create it with whatever "START
WITH" value you want.
Hope this helps
Kevin
