A recent question on Twitter: "[SharePoint] costs as much to buy/implement/run in money as the productivity loss of not having it - agree or disagree?" I would say if you measure this in a vacuum, in the scope of one single project it's...
I spent a lot of time at the Microsoft office last week in Waltham, including the Quarterly Partner Briefing on Tuesday 3/24. One of the sessions I attended on BI put on by Bob Lincavicks and Tara Seppa clarified some recent announcements about PerformancePoint...
Business intelligence is a rapidly growing sector of IT development and expenditure budgets. Products include financial modeling, data analysis, data mining, reporting and charting tools. The large vendors, Oracle, IBM and Microsoft, all have products...
Yesterday I spent many hours trying to solve what should have been a simple issue - grouped views in a SPGridview. I was building a web part that used an embedded SPGridview - this was part of a template I created used by a TemplateBasedControl which...
Recently for a client engagement I used a Custom Field Iterator to control the edit and display form for a content type (more on this in an upcoming post). The requirement was for different fields to be made editable based on the state the list item was...

For anyone who has looked a little more closely at the Content & Structure section of SharePoint, you'll probably find it doesn't quite do what you were hoping or expected. You may also have wanted to know how to modify these reports or create...
This week I worked on a two day introduction to SharePoint with a new client. The goal was to install and then give them a quick tour of the features with emphasis on Excel services. We completed the install on the first day and did a backup in preparation...
A client asked me today how to create a view filtered so that only items that where missing their Start Date, Due Date, or both. First, create a calculated column DatesMissing with the following formula: =NOT(AND(ISNUMBER([Start Date]),ISNUMBER([Due Date...
Recently I was building an issues list application for a client. The issues broke down in to several major initiatives, with many issues being a member of more than one initiative. What I wanted to do was a build an issues list and then have each issue...
