I uploaded an Excel spreadsheet to Sharepoint 2013 & I'm getting this message "we can't show these features in a browser: text queries". What text queries are they referring to? I can't edit in the spreadsheet in the browser because of this
I found out what the issue was.
I followed the same steps as listed in the "Most Helpful Reply" and the problem went away:
I was having this issue also and came across this post. I followed the suggestion of deleting the info in the connections tab and the problem continued. However, after that if you click on the properties tab under the connections tab, there is a choice in there about saving the query data. I un-checked that and at the moment I believe this has solved the problem.

In Excel Online, there is a feature called "Catch Up" that permits seeing a list of changes made to the workbook.
Is there a way with any API (Graph?) to get this list of changes made to the workbook ? I would like to have the data shown in the "Changes" panel in a PowerBI report.
Thanks,
I have been using PowerApps for a couple of years now to create simple user interfaces with SharePoint lists as the database.
Since last week I have started to experience a number of issues with my apps. For example, when referencing a SharePoint list single line of text column by its field name, PowerApps says that it doesn't recognise the identifier. I use the exact same formula for a different single line of text column in the same database and it works fine.
I have a gallery that I have added a couple of extra label fields to. The formula that I am using is simply 'ThisItem.ColumnName'. For one that works this is 'ThisItem.Address' and this displays the address which comes from a single line of text column. One that doesn't work is 'ThisItem.Industry'. The internal field name for the column is definitely Industry and it is definitely also a single line of text column. In the label itself I have switched between both formulas and again the Address column displays fine but the Industry column is not recognised.
I have further tried:
Recreating the database from scratch
Deleting the column/s that aren't being recognised and recreating them
Refreshing the data connections, including deleting and re-adding
Using Edge instead of Chrome
Creating a database on a different teamsite (same site collection tho)
Turning off all experimental features in the settings
I would upload some screenshots but as this is my first post, I'm not allowed to....
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Anyone able to provide some insight as to why this has suddenly started occurring? HELP, anyone????
Thanks in advance.

So i found what was causing the issue, still in the dark as to why though.
The gallery is linked to multiple databases (sharePoint lists) through an IF statement. The user selects a district from a drop down box and depending on what they select, the gallery is filtered using this IF statement.
The weird thing is, that the filter on the gallery works perfectly fine and displays all the records from that database. But for some reason, it only chooses to recognise a select few of the columns within that database.
When i removed the IF statement and just linked up one database, it works perfectly fine and all columns are recognised and display fine.
So, back to the drawing board on this one. At least i know now that i need to rework my gallery set up and that it isn't a case of corruption with the app or the database (that was my biggest fear!)
Hope this info provides some help if anyone else experiences this same issue.
I have a display template called "Item four lines" based on the out of the box "Item two lines" template which I modified to shown 4 lines rather than 2.
My documents are coming up correctly to match my search query, however when I click on the documents returned by the search results instead of these opening in the browser (Word Online, Excel Online, PowerPoint Online, etc) I get propmpted to save the documents locally. The ideal behaviour here will need to be the same as clicking on a document from a document library where the documents are opened automatically by Word Online, Excel Online, PowerPoint Online, etc in the broweser.
Is there anything that I need to add or do to the display template to achieve this?
Any help will be greatly appreactiated
I am using a lotus notes database, where our whole company adds its customer data to it. The search function should give me the customer and when I click it I get more detailed information, which I need for my daily work.
However, I have to search this database and it is quite unreliable in terms of displaying the data and also often because of data insertion errors I do not find what I am desiring.
Therefore, I was wondering if I could export this database to excel and search it through with the filters.
Any recommendations how to do that?
I appreciate your replies!
You could also utilize the native full-text search of Domino : in the [View] menu, click "Search this view".
Select all the rows you want to export.
Do Edit/Copy AS>Table (could be long)
Past in EXCEL you will also get a link to the document in Excel.
This solution is relevant only if you research in few data. You may also build a "clever" view in Notes (exploding spaces for example) and search "start with" which is alway up to date.
I have pulled Notes view information into Excel from the Excel side via VBA - you'd need (to create) a view with all the relevant fields in columns first. Here's some code that worked for me: Accessing Lotus Notes database from Excel VBA - how do I pick up COLUMNVALUES?
I was picking up category subtotals..presumably you want the document contents instead so change the
Set Entry = nav.getNextCategory(Entry)
to
Set Entry = nav.getNextDocument(Entry)
and tweak the VBA code to suit which columns you want... good luck !
I am retrieving a list of values from a sharepoint list, which works well but my problem is that it only retrieves the first 100 records. there are currently 500 records that should be available.
Scenario: I have two comboboxes on an infopath form:
A List of Locations
A list of areas within the locations
the list of locations will filter the list of areas but as infopath seems to only retrieve the first 100 records so most of the locations do not show any areas as there is nothing to filter.
By design, the query will only return the first page of results from the default view for the list. Change the item limit for the default view in SharePoint, and you'll change the returned values for InfoPath.
EDIT (links from my comments, here for greater readability):
Here are sources describing this fix in MSDN forum (scroll to the bottom), a blog comment that describes the SharePoint setting step-by-step, one with a screen cap of the somewhat counter-intuitive interface, and another describing performance implications on the server side.
Hope this helps.
Just documenting what I have discovered trying to resolve the problem. I have not been able to change the default view as yet as I dont have the permission to. That should change though.
One possible workaround I have found is that you can export the list to Excel which contains all the data that I was looking for. the file that sharepoint produces is an Excel Query file like "export.iqy". You can save and open the file in notepad. which will look something like the following

http://SharepointSite/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?XMLDATA=1&List={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}&View={8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}&RowLimit=0&RootFolder=%2fLists%2fSharepoint%20Sites
Selection={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}-{8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}
EditWebPage=

SharePointListName={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}
RootFolder=/Lists/My list
You can take the third line which is -
http://SharepointSite/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?XMLDATA=1&List={14C4ED2B-3050-4C47-B5F3-6333C3B0FB28}&View={8E6124E0-23F2-4BA2-86E7-96E7F36BAEC8}&RowLimit=0&RootFolder=%2fLists%2fSharepoint%20Sites
And use that to retrieve the complete list. I added an new receive data connection, selected an xml document and added the above URL.
It is not formated particullary nice but it will return all the data that I was expecting.
I think that Argalatyr solution is much simpler at this point, but it depends on if i am able to get the default view changed.
there is yet one workaround of this without such hardcoding. If you open Query editor, then you have there available ribbon with menu items. Open "Home" -> "Select top rows" and enter there some realy high number (I have in my list 596 rows, so I entered there as limit of top rows 20000 and I got whole list).
Sorry, I don't have available English version of Excel, so I cannot add screenshots.
