You are getting this error because you didn’t use the correct column name. Double check your column name spelling!

I don’t have another approach for SP 2010, the same technique should work. The only difference is to use SP 2010 DVWPs instead of the 2007 ones.

Bob,

I am a complete beginner in SharePoint. But I want to use the formula that you have mentioned. I have a Project Status column that has 3 options Alert, Warning, Satisfatory. Depending on what is selected for Project Status, I want to display red ”•”, Yellow ”♦” and green”█”.
I cannot understand Field = Key and Field = Icon. Please can you help me?

This is great, thanks for this. However although it works great on the site, whenever a task is assigned or updated an email is sent out. In the email I see the HTML Code which I have been asked to remove. I tried editing the alerttemplate.xml file in the Bin directory by adding the Text to HTML code but it did not work. Can you provide any help on this. It would be nice to have the visiual indicators in the Alert Emails as well.

Thanks, Jovi

I’m very new at this, but when I try to create the calculated “Indicator” site column I am receiving the following error:

The formula refers to a column that does not exist. Check the formula for spelling mistakes or change the non-existing column to an existing column.

I have already created the site column called Health, and I see it as available, and I’ve triple checked for typos. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Thanks,
Andy

Hello Sir ,

I have created site columns and lists as you mentioned . and finally i added JQuery as follow

var theTDs = document.getElementsByTagName(“TD”);

var i=0;

var TDContent = ” “;

while (i < theTDs.length) {

try {

TDContent = theTDs[i].innerText || theTDs[i].textContent;

if ((TDContent.indexOf("= 0)) {

theTDs[i].innerHTML = TDContent;

}

catch(err){}

i=i+1;

}

function ExpGroupRenderData(htmlToRender, groupName, isLoaded)
{

var tbody=document.getElementById(“tbod”+groupName+”_”);

var wrapDiv=document.createElement(“DIV”);

wrapDiv.innerHTML=”"+htmlToRender+”";

var theTBODYTDs = wrapDiv.getElementsByTagName(“TD”); var j=0; var TDContent = ” “;

while (j < theTBODYTDs.length) {

try {

TDContent = theTBODYTDs[j].innerText || theTBODYTDs[j].textContent;

if ((TDContent.indexOf("= 0)) {

theTBODYTDs[j].innerHTML = TDContent;

}

catch(err){}

j=j+1;

}

tbody.parentNode.replaceChild(wrapDiv.firstChild.firstChild,tbody);

}

But i am not able to show progress and indicator result as i m getting html text instead of that which is exact , there is no wrong syntax , but i guess there wud be javascript error …i added javascript in CEWP at bottom of list , but still not rendering exact result .

Funny to read this thread again, as I am about to publish a series that shows how to do it in wss. Well Larry, all you said was correct (including the tedious part).

Here is something cool.

With inspiration from this great site, I’ve been able to build colour coded icons that have a different shape. Not all stop lights, but rather a variety of shapes.

It is driven all by “Overall” which is an assessment of the project.
Our company uses Red, Yellow, Green, Black = cancelled project, White = not started.

Field = Key
=” “&Icon&”"

Field = Icon
=CHOOSE(FIND(LEFT(Overall,1),”GYRWB”),”•”,”♦”,”█”,”[]“,”X”)

These formulas are somewhat simpler to debug than the nexted if statements.

Somebody might have a use for this.

Thanks for a great site and source of inspiration.
Cheers

Bob

I’m having a problem with the calculated column, Progress, in Firefox 3.x.

It displays fine in IE 7 & 8. The problem seems centered in the part that draws the box. In FF, the style is collapsed to a 1 pixel wide box.

My code is:

=” “&TEXT([% Complete],”0%”)&”"

I have some screen shots, but can’t seem to post them here in the comments.

Any ideas?
