SharePoint Filter ona View
I have created a view on my SharePoint that I want to add a filter to but not sure how to get it to work. The list contans the following values:
Solution Lead
Solution Designer 1
Solution Designer 2
Solution Designer 3
Solution Designer 4
Solution Designer 5
I am using this fields as assignment filels that are drop down to team members that match the name at the top of their sharepoint when they login IE. lastname, firstname.
The view I have created called MyDeals is checking to see if the contents of any of the fiields listed above contains the users name. So if Joe Blow logs on and clicks MyDeals they would see a list of deals that have Blow, Joe in any of the fields listed above.
Is this possible? Tried using [Me} no go

If you don't want to take it into Designer, you could set your fields as people picker fields instread of a dropdown then your [Me] filters should work.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
But what will work is (If you have a limited list of Users ) you can create a custom Views , limited list.
Create a view ( where Assigned to (userA) )
Create a view ( where Assigned to (userB) )
Create Links on the side bar navigation to route to the proper View.
If you are savvy enough you can use SharePoint Designer and create a custom view and convert it to XSLT Data Webpart then you can use the dyamic name as in [Me] and [Today] and all those nice vars.
Cool
Good Luck.
