Question

List View for Microsoft Sharepoint

Asked by: GhostWerx

Hi all,

We have a Windows Small Business Server 2003 setup in our office. The following is to do with logging into the Remote Web Workplace and selecting the option to 'Use my company's internal website'. (Sharepoint).

Once logged in I have setup a 'List' that lists small jobs that I need to complete.

I have a 'View' for the list setup called 'Due Today' which simply shows all jobs where

'Due Date' is equal to '[Today]'.

What I want to do is create a 'View' called 'Due Soon' which lists all the jobs due in the next 5 days.

However, I can't figure out how to do this. Is this possible and can someone help me out.

Thanks,

GW.

In the filter for your view select 'Due Date' is greater than [Today] and 'Due Date' is less than or equal to [Today]+5.  Make sure there are no spaces in the calculation.

 

by: GhostWerxPosted on 2009-09-02 at 02:19:12ID: 25239149

Hi SPGal,

I have tried this. However it says for '[Today]+5' that the 'Filter value is not a valid date'.

Any ideas on how to get around this or what might be causing this problem??

Thanks,

GW.

 

by: SPGalPosted on 2009-09-02 at 03:36:37ID: 25239558

Do you have an spacing in your [Today]+5?  It will give that error if you do.

 

by: GhostWerxPosted on 2009-09-05 at 05:31:07ID: 25265985

Hi SPGal,

Yes it does not contain spaces.

I have tried:

[Today]+5
[Today] + 5
[Today+5]
[Today + 5]

None of these have worked.

Do you have any suggestions as to why this might be??

Thanks,

GW.

What is your version of Sharepoint?

 

by: GhostWerxPosted on 2009-09-23 at 06:44:51ID: 25402961

Hi 66866,

I was able to find the following under "Site Settings"

Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 (6.0.2.8165).

I assume this is the version. How do I go about finding out what version of SharePoint we are using??

Thanks,

GW.

Looks like in the WSS 2.0 you can't use functions like [Today] + 5. Here's another approach
