    How to enable filter in SharePoint to filter the

    Hi,

    I managed to display most of the fields in InfoPath form as SharePoint Form Library columns. SharePoint will show who is the current user in one of the columns.

    The next step is to modify SharePoint view to display only those forms related or belog to login users.

    I used [Me] in the Filter settings but still failed. It shows this message: "Filter value is not a valid text string". Seems like the data type is not correct and I could not find the way to modify it in SharePoint.

     

    Thanks and Cheers.....

    Hi,

    The [Me] function can be used only with default columns like Modified By, Created By... etc. You cannot use the [Me] function in a calculated column.

    Hi, thanks for the quick response. I heard someone says there is a way to make it happen but not sure how.

    Or perhaps you have some workarounds.

    Cheers...
