As shown in the image if i mention {$}, it will take the current columns value and pass as a parameter to the queryString(URL). I am not able to figure out how to pass the first column (TM_TRANSMISSON_ID) value here, I tried the following and failed:
1.{$0}
2.{$TM_TRANSMISSION_ID}
3.[TM_TRANSMISSION_ID].
Can you create a calculated column so that both values are in the same column? Since that is a column property I believe you can only access the specific column.

I have a default column filter and I'm wondering if there is a way from excluding it from one column.
You can check an example from React-table that I'm using: https://codesandbox.io/s/github/tannerlinsley/react-table/tree/master/examples/filtering
The 'DefaultColumnFilter' is being used in useTable hook and all columns are using it by default
Is there a way from excluding one column from using it?
Two options -
If you don't want the given column to have filters, then use disableFilters flag on that column in options.
If you want to have different type of filter for the given column, then use Filter property in the given column(as shown in provided example)
I try to add a new calculated column to sharepoint list that will show elapsed day. I enter name and write a formula like;
=ABS(ROUND(Today-Created;0))
The data type returned from this formula is: Single line of text
When I want to save I get an error like
Calculated columns cannot contain volatile functions like Today and
Me.
Calculated Column Values Only Recalculate As Needed
The values in SharePoint columns--even in calculated columns--are stored in SharePoint's underlying SQL Server database.
The calculations in calculated columns are not performed upon page load; rather, they are recalculated only whenever an item is changed (in which case the formula is recalculated just for that specific item), or whenever the column formula is changed (in which case the formula is recalculated for all items).
(As a side note, this is the reason why in SharePoint 2010 you cannot create or change a calculated column on a list that has more than the list view threshold of 5000 items; it would require a mass update of values in all those items, which could impact database performance.)
Thus, in order for calculated columns to accurately store "volatile" values like "Me" and "Today", SharePoint would need to somehow constantly recalculate those column values and continuously update the column values in the database. This simply isn't possible.
Alternatives to Calculated Columns
I suggest taking a different approach entirely instead of using a calculated column for this purpose.
Conditional Formatting: You can apply conditional formatting to highlight records that meet certain criteria. This can be done using SharePoint Designer or HTML/JavaScript.
Filtered List views: Since views of lists are queried and generated in real time, you can use volatile values in list view filters. You can set up a list view web part that only shows items where Created is equal to [Today]. Since you can place multiple list view web parts on one page, you could have one section for today's items, and another web part for all the other items, giving you a visual separation.
A workflow, timer job, or scheduled task: You can use a repeating process to set the value of a normal (non-calculated) column on a daily basis. You need to be careful with this approach to ensure good performance; you wouldn't want it to query for and update every item in the list if the list has surpassed the list view threshold, for example.
I found some conversations about this issue. Many people suggest to creating a new Date Time column, visible is false, default value is Today's Date and it will be named as Today. Then we can use this column in our formulas.
I tried this suggestion and yes error is gone and formula is accepted but calculated columns' values are wrong. I setted column Today is visible and checked, it was empty. Default value Today's Date was not working. When I looking for a solution for this issue I deleted column Today carelessly. Then I realized calculated columns' values are right.
Finally; I don't know what is trick but before using Today keyword in your formulas if you create a column named as Today and after your formula saving if you delete Today column, it is working.
UPDATE
After #Thriggle's answer I realized this approach doesn't work like a charm. Yes, formula doesn't cause an error when calculated column saving but it works correctly only first time, in the next day the calculated column shows old values, because its values are static as Thriggle explained.
I am facing problem in passing a dummy column's value in URL of <asp:HyperLinkField>.
My first column in gridview contains value from <%#Container.DataItemIndex+1> which gridview is populating however on click on my 2nd column which is a hyperlink field i want to pass value from 1st columns generated by <%#Container.DataItemIndex+1>.
So the problem here i am facing is how to pass a value as querystring which is not getting populated from database however is available as column in gridview.
Thanks in advance,
Can you paste the code so i can detect the problem and tell you what to do. Cos one thing you need to understand is the gridview tend itemize cell as zero index. So if your intention is to get say the ID of a table to a linkfieldbutton, i will advice you to use LinkButton.
Assuming I understood your question:
Have you tried binding column 2 to the same field (DataField) column1 is so you can use the (same) data any way you want.
Alternatively, perhaps you can (already) use column1 for the same purpose (re: display and link)?
Hth....
I have an xPage which I have built with 3 combo boxes and 1 view control. I would like to use the 'Filter by column value' option within the view control to provide the options to filter the values, allowing the user to display any combination of the combo boxes. e.g. Only comboBox1, or comboBox1 and comboBox2, or comboBox3 only, or comboBox1 and comboBox2 and comboBox3.
I used the example in the 'xPages Demonstration Application' (http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/xpagesdemoapp.htm or http://xpagesblog.com/XPagesHome.nsf/Entry.xsp?documentId=AAC8E26599256FDC852578CB0066CC13) to do the multi-column filtering using a vector of non-categorized columns.
So, I have come across what appears to be a fairly major issue whereby the data needs to be sorted by date. Date is not one of the filters, but it needs to be the first column in order for the data to be sorted correctly. So my first column is a string, YYYYMMDD, to ensure the data is sorted correctly. I tried to use the sort option within the view control and that does not appear to work with the column filtering implemented in this manner.
So, as Date one of the criteria I am filtering by, I have passed that as an empty string - using the thought process that an empty string will select all (as in the url examples above).
The code I have used to do the filtering is:
var vtr:java.util.Vector = new java.util.Vector();
var t1 = sessionScope.Email;
var t2 = sessionScope.Own;
var t3 = sessionScope.Module;
vtr.addElement("");
#If(sessionScope.Own=="My calls",vtr.addElement(t1),vtr.addElement(""));
#If(sessionScope.Own=="My calls",vtr.addElement(""),vtr.addElement(t2));
#If(sessionScope.Status=="Open",vtr.addElement("Open"),vtr.addElement(""));
#If(sessionScope.Module=="All",vtr.addElement(""),vtr.addElement(t3));
return vtr;
What I have found is that not all data is being returned. I thought this might be due to the date field. So I removed it (changing the view and removing the first add element), and yet I still find that not all data is being returned. I suspect that this might be due to the empty strings being passed, or, that this does not actually work the way I had hoped.
Does anyone know if I can get this working the way I want it to, and if not, do you have any suggestion on how I can go about this?
Date is not needed as the first sortable column in the view. The first column does need to be sorted for the lookup to work just like the Notes view needs to be sorted for #DbColumn and #DbLookup to work. XPages uses the same underlining architecture. This example - http://dev.openntf.org/demos/demoapp.nsf/viewFilteringVector.xsp - works without the data being sorted by Date.
My guess as to why your example isn't working is down to how your Notes view sorted. Try creating a new view with column 1 (email) ascending sort, column 2 (own) ascending sort, and column 3 (module) again ascending sort. You should be able to get vector filtering working in this situation.
If all that doesn't work for you, you might consider multi-layer category filtering (new to 853). This filtering type in XPages is related to how categoryFilter works but allow you to filter a view by the sub-category (or sub-categories) too. This technique might suit your scenario better. Hope this helps.
I have a grid view, which has several columns, one of which is a numeric column. When the grid loads first time, the data on the numeric column gets sorted on the server side itself and gets rendered. I apply client side sorting on another column also using table sorter. Now, the requirement is, because the number column comes already sorted in ascending order, upon clicking the number column header should sort it in descending order first. How can I achieve this? I thought of doing it in the following way, but getting no help.
1. How to find out the data type of a column by giving column or index using table sorter?
2. Identify whether a column is already sorted on load and if so, the sort direction of a that column.
3. Sort that column (mentioned above) in descending order, upon first time header click of that column.
I did try with debug option of table sorter, but it is simply giving some alert message, which is not much helpful.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Set the initial sort order in tablesorter to be the same as what is returned back from the server. For example, say your numeric column is column zero and you are returning it back from the server in desc order. Use the following in the table sorter config:
sortList:[[0,1]]
This will tell tablesorter to sort the first column in descending order. Now that tablesorter knows how the data is sorted, the next time you click on this column to sort it, it will sort in ascending order (since it's currently sorted in descending order).
