I have a SharePoint 2013 list where I hide a column "Incremental Number" on the list view but when I download the list it shows up in the excel download. I checked the modified view setting and the hidden column is checked off. How can I NOT show it in excel download? This Column-"Incremental Number" is used to create another column which is an ID column.
Thank!
The “Export to Excel” function is used to export all items in the current view. It means, the columns and items in the exported table are determined by the current list view. So make sure you have selected the correct view before exporting the list.

I have a SharePoint list that contain columns of the type "person or group", and I have an excel file of rows I want to add to the SharePoint list. Normally with other SharePoint lists, I can simply go into the "grid view" mode on the list and paste all the excel rows in. However, this method is not working for the columns of type "person or group". Is there another way to do this?
Thank you.
Try entering email id in the Excel column. It will import fine into the Person or Group field.
I'm trying to create a table with a repeating row in InfoPath 2013 (editing a Sharepoint 2013 custom list in case that matters). I'm unable to post a screenshot of the table to show you, but it is a 2-row, 2-column table with text in the first row, a Date/Time field in the 1st column of the 2nd row, and a text field in the 2nd column.
When trying to create this repeating table, I'm getting a prompt that says "InfoPath cannot automatically create a field or group in the section containing this control. To set the binding, select a field or group in which to store the control's data:" (I would post a screenshot of this too, but reputation is too low)
Any ideas as to why this is happening? I'm having trouble finding out exactly how repeating controls work in InfoPath and how to create them.
I'm new to Sharepoint Designer and I'm having trouble to get a task done.
I've created a list and each item of this list should have a specific code.
Here's an example:
**2014DEM/000023**.
I got this format done by creating a column named "Code" based on another columns value and inserting the following formula:
*=CONCATENATE(YEAR(TODAY());"DEM/";FORMAT([ID];"000000"))*
This formula works fine, but the problem is that when a new item is being created, its ID is zero, so when the user saves this new item, the code column value for this value returns
**2014DEM/000000**.
If I try to edit the Code column formula, don't change anything, and only click the OK button, all the Code values will be updated to the value it was supposed to be.
Does anybody know how I can solve this problem? Could I update the column values using Sharepoint Designer Workflow?
Obs.: I'm using Sharepoint Designer 2013.
I have a survey in Sharepoint 2010. Now i added a new question . Then I went to survey settings to make sure that this question is order 1 . However when i export the survey to excel spreadsheet , this question is the in the last column ?
in the survey itself , the new question appears the first , order 1(BTW there is no branching ) .
However when i export it to spreadsheet it it the last . How can make this question to be the first in the spreadsheet either ?
The Export to Excel function simply takes the SharePoint list data without any views applied. So that means it takes the columns in the order they were created.
You could delete the columns and recreate them with the first column being created first, then the second and so on. But if there is a lot of data you want to keep in those columns you could keep it and simply create another list then find a way to copy the items over to the new list.
I believe the "export to spreadsheet" function in SharePoint surveys use the "Overview" (view) by default.
Go into SharePoint Designer and select your survey list
Under the "View" section (on the right) select "Overview". It should be the
default
Double-click overview to open / edit it
Look for the "Viewfields" section. Under it all your survey fields will be
listed with the first listed column to be exported (Excel A1) followed by
the rest (note that your column names many be truncated)
Cut the columns you want to move and paste them where you want them
Click save before exiting
When you perform your next export, the columns should be in the order you desire
I was wondering how I can pull the sharepoint list items data and display it in the Infopath form. I have a feeling I will have to use the repeating table but can't seem to figure it out/find tutorial. I'd like to display columns, ex. "Book Title", "Author", "Notes" and have it just pull data and make rows automatically. Thanks
Figured it out, once you make a data connection to your sharepoint list library, you just set it as the repeating table properties.
Double click on "Repeating Table"
Change Binding
Select the data source then select the FOLDER that contains the columns data, then next
Add the columns you want to display and your done.
