field values not showing up in list view

Question

_{Monday, November 14, 2011 11:14 PM}

Hello all.  I am running Sharepoint foundation 2010.  I have created a list and added some additional fields(columns) to it.  It works fine for the most part, except that when I create a custom view with all the columns in it some field values do not show up or export.  So, specifically, I have a column named "Description" that is visible in the view.  Some records (rows) have values displayed and some do not.  In many cases, if you open the item you will find that there are in fact values, they just are not displayed in the view.  I am using the "append edits" mode on this column, but I use it on other columns that do not have this bad behavior.  So I have two questions:

How do I get the view to display all values that might be present?

How can I export everything in the list to excel, unconditionally, even if the values don't show in the view?

Hi Fafconetadmin,

Thanks for your post.

If you want to view the column in view page, you should add the column in the View Settings. So for your first question, I suggest you create a new list view, and then add all the columns to view. Share your result.

The “Export to Excel” is based on the current view. So you should create a view, which contains all the column. and then export the view to excel. Here is an issue about “Export to Excel”: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointcustomization/thread/ed789e17-271b-4783-9a17-a2c4c0345030
