  • SharePoint/Excel 2010: Relative Hyperlinks and Local Documents

    calendar Apr 16, 2012 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    Relatively linking to local documents is much simpler you'd expect. Just save the Excel file and the documents in the same directory and =HYPERLINK(filename,filename). No need for "file://" or any fancy hyperlinking. This method works anywhere -- your local drive, a CD-ROM drive, USB stick, or a networked …

    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    Google is kind of hiding this French guy's webpage (at least in America) so I thought I'd point it out. You can install Project Server 2010 and few other Office App Servers on Windowes 7 by making two changes: modify the setup\config.xml and adding a faux ServerManagerCMD.exe to your System32 directory.

    To compile your …

    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    Did you know that SharePoint supports list validation in addition to column validation? I've seen the option 100 times before but it never clicked before I actually needed to use it. In this case, I needed to make sure that anyone setting a task item Status column to Completed" was also filling setting the % …

  • [Client-side Workaround] SharePoint 2010 Excel Services cannot Automatically Refresh Data when using SharePoint Lists as a Data Source

    calendar Apr 6, 2012 · 4 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    So far as I can tell, Excel Services is not capable of automatic data refreshes when using SharePoint Lists as a data source. If you're looking for this functionality, you have two choices: PowerPivot (best) or scheduled client-side data refreshing (ghetto).

    In order for Excel Services to communicate with other data …

  • SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot Services: Service Account Keeps Getting Locked Out

    calendar Mar 29, 2012 · 1 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    Okay, I've had to call Helpdesk an embarrassing 8 times today because my PowerPivot upgrade is going horribly wrong and locking out my AD account that, admittedly, I use as a "service" account. I'm really left with no choice -- I'm only granted one account on this network. Restrictive networks are so …

  • When xp_delete_file doesn't work as expected...

    calendar Mar 29, 2012  · Brandon Abshire   · 2 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    Whether you use a Maintenance Cleanup Task as part of a SQL 2005 or 2008 Maintenance Plan, or script out your own cleanup t-SQL, you are probably using the xp_delete_file extended procedure. For quite a while, I've occasionally come across old TLog or backup files that were missed. Without questioning it, I would clean …

  • SharePoint 2010: Creating Dashboards and Charts for SharePoint Lists using PerformancePoint and Excel Services from Start to Finish

    calendar Mar 14, 2012 · 6 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    I really thought making SharePoint Lists into pretty graphs and charts in SharePoint would be far more straightforward than it's turned out to be. Recently, I was given a project where I had to do just that and while I read through about 30 SharePoint BI books, none really gave a straight answer on which of the various …

    I'm currently working on a project where I need to quickly make pretty graphs and charts for data in small but important SharePoint lists. After looking through a number of books and consulting with my SharePoint buddies, PowerPivot for SharePoint 2010 seems to be the best tool for the job.

    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy
    While I usually like conversation-style technical books (think: Manning's In Action series and many Wrox books), Microsoft's Patterns and Practices series is one of my favorite even though they feel so formal. Recently, my buddy Buck Woody posted a link to the freely available Patterns and Practices book for A Guide to …
