they are behaving exactly like I want them to, when a vendor or SO gets selected in the form, it calculates a total for that vendor or SO. the error that I'm getting is in the design checker and it references the filtered total for vendor "binding a non-repeating control to a repeating field or group is not supported in sharepoint list ...

this is what I've got so far. I've created two formula controls to pull the total value for the selected vendor and the selected SO. I don't think I need these numbers to save to SharePoint, so I'm not concerned about binding them. Can i use these values in a calculation? I was thinking that I might like to show totals for all ...

hi Hilary, attached are a screen of the three lists, vendor lookups up to SO, and callup does a lookup to both. the form itself doesn't have any modifications yet, other than a calculated field to sum call-up totals. I'm trying to filter it, but I think i'm doing it wrong because it keeps telling me i'm using a control that needs ...

Hi Hilary, thank you so much, I'll do that shortly. honestly, I haven't built the form yet, I'm still sorting out my columns and have been doing some google research to see if what I want is even possible.

Hi Hilary, thanks, i've posted a brief description of what i'm trying to do, would love any suggestions you might have. I just tried filtering this out, but the design checker told me I'm using something only available in repeating tables, does filtering a column sum only work in repeating tables, I'm hoping i just did it ...

haha, duh, thank you so much. I think I may have over promised what I can do with Infopath and now i'm starting to panic. I'm having trouble seeing what's right in front of me what i'm doing is creating three lists that are all linked to each other, first I have a Contract list; title, end date, value then I have a vendor ...

Hi, I found a way in this forum to filter a column sum, but I don't understand the formula, can someone explain how I can use this formula please? [quote user="RaYvA"]Hi, Yes you can do this from a list form. You can use these formulas in rules to update fields in your schema or you can use them in Calculated Values. Easier to ...

i was using a data connection for a MSLB and displayed the same control 3 times with filtered values on that view. Once I removed this and entered the selections manually it stopped shaking. I already have three data connections (cascading drop down) on this form, I'll probably have to talk to IT to see if I can get more bandwidth for ...

thanks, I actually removed a data connection and that seemed to fix the problem, I think it might be related to the server unfortunately

Is there anyway to concatenate Multi-select List Boxes? My issue is that I have a MSLB that has 15 options, but it looks super ugly on the infopath form because it's a vertical scroll. What I originally did was triplicate the MSLB, line them up horizontally and remove the inner borders, now it looks like a MSLB that has three columns and 5 ...
