Here is the list of the status codes used to maintain the workflow statuses. This list might be useful when anyone creates a view based on workflow status. If you are creating a view for a list filtered by the workflow status, you would need use the number rather than the words (e.g. 2 instead of In Progress, 4 instead of Cancelled etc) Status Value Not Started 0 Failed on Start 1 In Progress 2 Error Occurred 3 Canceled 4 Completed 5 Failed on Start (retrying) 6 Error Occurred (retrying) 7 Canceled 15 Approved 16 Rejected 17

Get Week of the year =DATE(YEAR([Start Time]),MONTH([Start Time]),DAY([Start Time]))+0.5-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR([Start Time]),MONTH([Start Time]),DAY([Start Time])),2)+1 First day of the week for a given date: =[Start Date]-WEEKDAY([Start Date])+1 Last day of the week for a given date: =[End Date]+7-WEEKDAY([End Date]) First day of the month for a given date: =DATEVALUE(“1/”&MONTH([Start Date])&”/”&YEAR([Start Date])) Last day of the month for a given year (does not handle Feb 29).

If you see this message in the Crawl log of a content source, make sure that the site(s) it is crawling are accessible from the  index server . Often one of the following has happened: The web.config file of the crawled web application contains an error. Especially if the crawl was working yesterday and suddenly it stopped, check the web.config file on the Index server by loggin on to the index server, browse the site and check for errors. Remember to edit the web.config to show detailed error messages (search for ‘stack’ and turn the stack trace to ‘on’, next search for ‘errors’ and turn to ‘off’. Browse again. Sometimes there are solutions which change the web.config through either: web.config.merge.xml file as part of the solution (you will find them in the CONFIG folder) or through the object model. Like adding your own custom navigation provider entry and so on. Duplicates in the web.config file (like duplicate trust level entries) etc are not allowed. The target site colle...

public static int CalculateBusinessDays(DateTime startDate, DateTime endDate) { //Check if Start Date is greater than end date, return -1 if (startDate > endDate) return -1; DateTime dateTemp; int weekDays = 0; int weekEnds = 0; TimeSpan tsDiff = endDate.Subtract(startDate); //Calculate number of weekend days between two dates for (int i = 0; i < tsDiff.Days; i++) { dateTemp = startDate.AddDays(i + 1);//starting from next day of starting date if (dateTemp.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday || dateTemp.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday) weekEnds++; } weekDays = tsDiff.Days - weekEnds; return weekDays; }

Suppose you have a column(named,"DateText") with text format and the value it returning is of type datetime("2009-06-18T00:00:00"), To convert it into datetime format(mm/dd/yyyy), first create a calculated column named Expiration Date, with datatype as datetime and with the follwing formula: =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("T",[DateText])),TEXT(LEFT([DateText],FIND("T",[DateText])-1),"mm/dd/yyyy"),TEXT([DateText],"mm/dd/yyyy")) Then create one more calculated column with DateTime data type and use the following formula: =DATE(YEAR([Expiration Date]),MONTH([Expiration Date]),DAY([Expiration Date]))

I received the following message, when I tried to open document library in Windows explorer view:  “Your client does not support opening list with windows explorer” OS: Windows Server 2008 SP2 (x86) Browser: IE 7 The solution: By default, “Web Client” service is not installed with Windows Server 2008, you need to install “Desktop Experience” from Server Manager > Features (If you are working on Multiserver Architecture then you need to enable it on all the web frontend servers)
