I have a sharepoint list with 2 different content types (A and B). Now I wanna fill this list with either an Index like: "A-123" or "B-123". A-123 and B-123 are both allowed to exist, but not A-123 twice (or B-123 twice).
the problem is I cant really figure out how to do that in a nice way. Also, I already have many Indexes already filled in, but some are missing (like A-123, A-125, and A-124 is missing or got deleted).
how can I auto-increment both numbers independently? Excel Visualisation of what I mean
You can create a Microsoft Flow to achieve auto-increment custom Index
Please following steps:
1.A SharePoint list with 2 different content types (A and B)
2.Integrate >> Power Automate >> Create a flow
3.Create the following Flow
4.Save and Test Flow

I am trying to populate unique values across a multiple columns in a SharePoint list. For example if we have "column A" with value "X", none of the columns should accept the value "x" in the entire list.
Is it possible?
I tried the formula using an example.
=IF([columnA]=[ColumnB],TRUE,IF([ColumnB]<>"",TRUE,FALSE))
But i felt stupid as i had no idea why i feel it is right. But it doesn't work
Any simple and better ideas will be a great help!
I think you need PreSaveAction for this requirement, when item saving, the function will execute for client side validation, then you could call rest api to validate column A value and user input value, when return false, means validation failed and item will not save.

I'm designing an Infopath form to help guide people in a data creation process. The form needs to draw from a Sharepoint list that contains around 19,000 rows, each with six columns that contain attributes (Column 1 = Attribute A, Column 2 = Attribute B, etc.) I've reduced the first three columns to their own lists, which contain only a few hundred unique entries each, if that. When I get to Column 4, there are 8,000 unique entries, which makes querying the list outright impossible
In an attempt to get around the item limitation, I've created an Infopath form with a data connection to the list (which does not automatically query when the form is loaded). Additionally, I've added drop downs that sets values for the queryFields of the secondary data source (one for Column 1, another for Column 2, and another for Column 3). On the last drop down, I set an action to query the database, but I still get the error regarding limitations and that rules cannot be applied.
Is there any way to "pre-filter" the data connection so that I can bypass the limitation by only drawing the data I need? Am I going about this the right way?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Are you able to add indexes to your list columns that you intend to query on? I've found that I can get around the error message on list limits if I go to the list and add an index for the columns that I will be setting as query fields prior to running my query data connection.
I need a formula to calculate how much inventory is left on had after a work order has been completed. The work order I am developing is a separate list in sharepoint and I have an inventory list as well.
In the inventory list I have a field called amountinventoried and itemname which the user would put the amount of the item we had on hand during the last manual inventory.
On the work order list I have a field called itemused and amountused I need to find a formula to use on a calculated field in the Inventory list that would go out and simply subtract the amountused from the amountinventoried but only if the itemused and itemname fields matched.
I have been working on this for quite a while and have hit a wall, I'm probably overlooking something extremely easy but I'm still new to sharepoint 2010.
Thanks!
You may be able to do this in a grouped view of the work order list (sort of like this), but I think the design of what you are doing is not suited to using SharePoint lists.
You may be much better off using an SQL database to host and calculate the data and connect it into SharePoint as External Lists using the Business Connectivity Services (brief explanation here).
This gives you the benefit of CRUD functionality in SharePoint, with the extra calculations and trickery available within SQL views and tables.
BACKGROUND:
We’re developing a custom application which access SharePoint through the Client Object Model and this application need to access ECT (external content type) lists defined in SharePoint using the OM (Object Model). This application is a product that should be usable with most SharePoint installations and configuration and cannot have prior knowledge of External Lists.
When there are no filters set up for the ECT, SharePoint returns all the available items in the list (given the number is below the threshold). The moment we define a filter for this ECT, SharePoint return only the items after this filter is applied (probably correct behaviour from SP).
PROBLEM:
We need to be able to search this ECT list (non-filtered) based on text entered by a user in a search box. At the moment there seem to be no way to change the filter SharePoint applied when returning the values to the calling object.
I.e. I have 10 items in my ECT list (1,2,3…10). Each Item has 3 columns (ID, Name, Description). After setting up a filter for the ECT list, SharePoint return items 2, 3 & 6 when I ask SharePoint for a list of items.
No the user does a search the matches the description of item 7. How can I search/filter the list to return the item that match my search query?
I’ve been running in circles trying to solve this, but nothing seem to work. I tried setting the CAML query as well as the LoadQuery as defined in both http://pholpar.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/how-to-query-external-lists-on-the-client-side-using-caml/ and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff464384.aspx but nothing seem to work.
Even I had this problem. Let me tell you there is no way of doing this.
Even in Server object model, there was an option to change the filters of the default view but then the SPList will return 0 items once the filter is applied.
The funny part is once your code runs & you open the list in SP UI, you can see the actual modified list. But the same cannot be queries in the object model.
Looks strange. I guess if you modify the SPList (ECT based) in this instance, then you can only get results in the next instance (like in next page refresh.....)
I want to store Word forms into a library and then use them to populate with data from a SharePoint list. Push data from the list to the forms, by selecting one of them.
Has anyone do it? is there a simple way?
This sounds like a mail merge kind of operation. Mail merge does not work with datasources with a HTTP path. The workaround to this is to map the document library as a network drive. When performing mail merge in Word, you would then select the drive as the source.
See Q 14 in this link for more info

Each list can only (I think) 1 form that is used as the template document.
Make secondary lists for each Word form.
If you have a primary input list, then a workflow that recreates a list copy in the secondary list as per the required form.
This should force the secondary lists to populate data onto the form as per each type, then save the form back to your primary list.
A bit out of the way, but should be able to be done.
You can use word (2007/2010) quick parts to pull metadata from SharePoint, but it works only if you use document library and not a list.
