I have two lists on my report page. In report studio, I am trying to drag one list on top of the other with the intent of creating a master detail relationship between the two lists.
I am getting this error:Data items cannot be moved to a data container that uses a different query. But when we link two data items through a master detail relationship, the data items will always refer to different queries. No?
I always do this by putting all of the detail/header data into one list, then pick a header column and click 'section'. Then unlock the list and drag the remaining data items into the header

I am using Cognos 11 and have created a report. My report has a number of lists embedded within it. I have filtered some of the data items e.g. excluded no etc. When I run my report I get No data available in some of the cells. This data is to be excluded.
However, when I run the report and convert it into Excel, I get No Data Available for these excluded data points. How can I exclude/supress for No Data Available? I have tried many different options in conditional styling, data items and Supress but do not seem to be selecting the correct option?
"No data available" is the default presentation when a list or crosstab produces no results. It is not a per cell setting.
You can change this by setting the No data contents property of the list or crosstab.
This information can be found by searching the Cognos documentation for "No Data Available".
A list within a list will either use a section or a master-detail relationship. The no data available cells are caused by a match in the data for the section and or master-detail relationship but no detail values. So if you have a report which has product line and revenue where 1 product line has no revenue values, it will display the no data available for that particular product line. You might be able to add a detail filter which filters out the Revenue<>Null or Revenue <>0.
I'm looking for a way to build a table in a docusign template where the rows could be bound dynamically using the input data. For example, in the sample below the "Selected Options" is the table and the rows are dynamic user inputs :
**Selected Options**
2 bedroom
lake facing
non-smoking
Thanks
DocuSign does not support generic "tables" in the documents, so if you want to use a table it will have to be created at the document layer then uploaded into DocuSign.
One possible option is to create a the layout for a table in your document and leave spaces where the data will eventually go, then read or otherwise designate those locations on the document where the fields are, then finally you can place DocuSign tabs at those locations and that would in turn populate your table.
As Ergin says, DocuSign doesn't support dynamic creation of tables in a Document, such that the length (size) of the table will automatically vary according to how much data (i.e., how many rows) are specified. Your Create Envelope request specifies a (static) document, and you use DocuSign tabs to overlay data on top of that static document in specific locations.
That said, few options you might consider:
Create the table in your (static) document to contain the maximum number of columns/rows that it could ever possibly contain. Then, place tabs in every cell -- but in the Create Envelope request, only populate the tabs that correspond to the data the user provides. The down side of this approach would be that you could end up with a table that has several blank/empty rows, if the user doesn't specify much data.
OR
A more complex approach would be not define the Document in the Template itself, but rather, have the Create Envelope API request dynamically specify the Document, based on how much data the user provides. For example, if the table could contain between 1-3 rows, you could create 3 static documents -- the first with a one-row table, the second with a 2-row table, and the third with a 3-row table. Then, include logic in your code to determine how much data the user provides (1 row, 2 rows, or 3 rows), and specify the appropriate Document in the Create Envelope request. (Hint: you'd need to use 'Composite Templates' structure in the API request to accomplish this -- there's lots of info about that here on StackOverflow.) Biggest upside of this approach would be that the table in the document would always be the right size to exactly accommodate the user-provided data -- but obviously this approach could be challenging to implement and maintain if your document contains multiple tables and/or a large number of max potential rows in each table.
OR
Finally, in the same spirit as option #2 above -- if there's just a small number of variations of table size (for example: the table will always contain 1, 2, or 3 rows), you could simply create 3 Templates via the DocuSign web UI -- the first Template containing a Document with a one-row table, the second Template containing a Document with a 2-row table, and the third Template containing a Document with a 3-row table. Then, include logic in your code to dynamically choose the right template to use in the Create Envelope request, based upon how much data the user provides (1 row, 2 rows, or 3 rows).
I am wondering if it is possible when I choose some item from let's say drop down menu in one place , on some other place to appear just some definite items that are preliminary identified to be related to this item. As an example, if you have a company structure- See below the picture- Subsidiary 1( Sub1) has just one Subsidiary with a code Sub1Sub1, so I will be expecting under the required place to appear (which might be in different worksheet ) just Su1Sub1, if I choose Sub2 from the main menu, I will be expecting in this place to get Sub1Sub2 and Sub2 (two different rows) , etc. Initially I was thinking to do this with multiple vlookup formula with syntaxis (iferror(index(.....),small(..)), but in this case we don't have values to bring, we have a combination of symbols (Sub1sub2) etc.. It can be done with multiple if(if(if( etc, but imagine we have many companies so it would be difficult with if(if)s..Please advise.
Use a list box element to select from your master entities.
Use the Change event of this list box to preload a second listbox for the child entities via VBA
The same can be done with the data validation items if you prefer in cell dropdowns. Then you use the worksheet_change event and check if the cell containing the master entity has changed, and if so you reload the correct set of child entities into the data validation list of the child selection field.
So - I'm making a data view that is to contain a list. This list has a field that will be used to match up against two other lists. If there is an entry for this value, it should show the value from the other list, otherwise show a link to add a new one.
So, what I need to do is make a data source consisting of the rows from list 1, and fill in the Ticket field with a value from the Tickets table matching the ID value from list 1. The same should be done for the Change Type field.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to accomplish this? I've found a few tutorials, but they seem to be for showing all the data together and not match up on any specific columns for linkage.
Thank you
What you are aiming at is not available in SharePoint out of the box.
There are two approaches you can look at:
Create your own custom lookup field template for single/multiple field
selection with some sort of field
editor. Create your own controls and
program the associated code behind
logic.
Use some existing custom solutions. One such sample is on codeplex:

In my Infopath form I use a repeating table. On opening this form on sharepoint I would like to have some rows of the repeating table filled out using information from an other list. I use content types.
What i am working on is a Timesheet system where the user can register how many hours a week he worked on different projects.
I would like that by creation of a timesheet some predefined projects will be already inserted, meaning that the repeating table will have for example 5 rows already with 5 favourite or most used projects selected based on a separate PetProject list.
When I looked at the workflow in the list where the timesheet is being created I couldn’t find the column projectname in the dropdown so I cant give it a value. When I went to look in the Form settings of TimeSheets I saw that projectname cant be selected/edited, its in plain black whereas the other columns are blue and clickable. I thought its probably because the value of projectname is merged from the different rows in the repeating table.
Is there any way I can work around this problem and assign a value to projectname by creation of the timesheet?
Thank you so much!
I think that you will need to write some code to query the data that you are after and add the data to new rows in the repeating table.
There is a loading event that you can hook into to then query a secondary data source and then
add the row to the repeating table.
Will this run with in infopath as a thick client or will it run as a browser based form using infopath form service?
