I have a problem with the workflow which I prepared for Communities users. The idea whole idea is to populate Address field according to the values which Communities users will enter. However, when I did the test it looks that the workflow doesn't work. I feel lost as everything looks fine for me. Here is the screenshot of my workflow:
and here is the action which I set up for this workflow:
At this point I was trying to refer to Description field just to be sure it works and it is not spoiled by any of Address field settings. However, it doesn't even populate the results in the Description field. Could anyone help me with that please?
I see the error in your field update. You are using description field in both places: as a field to Update and as a formula value. If you want, that description field are populated from adress field, you should chose adress field for formula value.

I have a report/letter with a query as its record source.
Some of the paragraphs I would like the user to be able to amend instead of asking each time it needs a change.
I set up a local table called LetterWording; this has one record with four short text fields which contain the wording for the paragraphs which need amending.
In the letter I added textboxes for these paragraphs with the control source pointing at the relevant field (e.g. =[LetterWording]![1stInterviewParagraph1]).
However, when I open up the letter in report view I get the Enter Parameter Value popup asking for LetterWording.
If I click OK without entering anything (I don't know what it wants anyway) the letter opens and those four paragraphs say #Error.
Can anybody please advise what I'm doing wrong here?
Thank you!
Just me being silly. As I can't/don't want to add to the original record source query I should add these paragraphs as sub-reports.
Let me explain my problem,
in Pentaho Report Designer I want to build such a report, where I have one data set, i.e. one request to database
SELECT code, name FROM EMPLOYEES
and show result of this request not in the form of list, but put every result in appropriate place. i.e. like in below picture
Where field "code" is unique, just one result can be put into red label in picture.
How can I do this in Pentaho Report Designer?
I can solve this problem by creating 3 data set, for each of caption. But what if captions like this will be much more, creating requests for each of this caption will not be so effective.
Hope I could explain my question.
I don't know if I got it right, but If you want to use the values returned by your query, you could create a new formula called "your_formula":
=MULTIVALUEQUERY("name_of_your_query")
This will give you an array with the result of the query. Then you could use another formula to get the 1st result of the array. For example:
=ARRAYLEFT([your_formula])
and get the first result of your query. This way let you use your_formula as parameter. This means you can drag and drop it on your report and use it.
I hope it helps.

I know this is a repost, I have done my research on everything possible and I couldn't find anything to assist nor help me with my current problem. No matter how many times I re-create my Query or Form, I just can't seem to get it to work correctly. if I run my Query, I will get the correct information displayed, but when it comes to adding information through a custom form I made, I get this error -> "cannot add records join key of table not in recordset".
My current Query, incase you wanted to see. I only access vendorNoID from the vendor table. I require all the information from the rest of the tables.
I am able to enter information in this form for tbl_address and tbl_addressType, but I get the error for vendor / purchaseOrder. Any reason whats causing this?!?!
Any advice will be greatly appreciated
The selected value of the vendor combobox got to be bound to [tbl_purchase_order].[vendorID]. To the table, where the selected value is the foreign key.
It's got to be the same as you already did with the address_typeID.
The selected value of the vendor combobox got to be bound to [tbl_purchase_order].[vendorID]. To the table, where the selected value is the foreign key. (#VMai)
In my opinion, open the Query Builder of Form (as picture below), then add column [tbl_purchase_order].[vendorID]

In an alternate application, the user has the ability to update their address and phone number. When these are changed, three fields will update: Old Value, New Value, and Field Changed. If the Field Changed was the address, I need to create two report pages - one with the old address and one with the new. However, if the Field Changed was the phone number, I only need to create one report page for the current address.
My initial plan was to do a Union that would have one record with the Old Value and another with the New Value. This should work when only the Address has changed. However, it won't whenever the Phone Number has changed. I assume I need to do some sort of case statement, but I'm not really sure if this is the right approach. Sorry if the data is a little confusing (I didn't design the data structure. This was provided by our professor's assistant). If you need more information, I'll try to provide it.
I'm not looking for exact SQL, but I am wondering if I'm approaching this the correct way.
What do you mean by a 1 or 2 page report? Are you outputting to a CSV, PDF, XLSX or something eles?
If you need to do this through "pure" sql I would recommend a stored procedure that is given a value stating whether it's the address or phone number that is being updated. It can then do the update and you can simply do an if statement which determines which report to run and return.
I'd recommend handling it programatically if possible. Have your code run the sql update and then call the appropriate function within your code to get the report you need. You can then easily re-use the code for that report in other ways.
I'm using a data view to display a list (Sharepoint 2010) that has several columns including one that has a Name column. I've provided the user with a text filter on the page to send values to filter the Name column in this list. The problem I'm facing is that the filter only works for exact matches and not partial matches.
I tried to overcome this problem by using Sharepoint Designer to:
create a parameter that uses the textbox control value.
Filtering the Name column with this parameter and setting the comparison to "Contains"
Unfortunately if the default value of the Parameter is blank, the list does not display any data. If the default value of the parameter is set to part of a name in the list, the list displays names that contain that string. However, when changing the value in the text box and searching, the list does not return results. Please let me know if you guys know how to fix this. Any help is much appreciated and let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks!
Managed to find a solution to my problem. I used a custom javascript solution designed by jvossers (http://instantlistfilter.codeplex.com) that involves the list being filtered instantly much like Google's search!
The only downside of this solution is that it only filters the items currently displayed on the screen. Therefore, if you have a data view web part which limits the amount of items displayed on the page, this solution won't help you. In order to facilitate this solution, display all the row items on the page (by increasing the item limit per page to a larger number than your total list rows) and then add this code into a content editor web part on the same page. Worked brilliantly for me. '
By the way if you are using jQuery 1.3.x or higher, you should modify the script a little as described in the disscussion here: http://instantlistfilter.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=49123
