The surprising truth about using [Today] in SharePoint 2010 Filters–showing items from the last 7 days
When you want to show the items created in the last 7 days in a specific SharePoint view you need to keep two things in mind:
- Make sure that you remove spaces from the filter value – otherwise you will get “Filter value is not in a supported date format” – so “[Today]-7” works but “[Today] – 7” will not work
- Apparently the “[Today]” parameter is MUI aware – so when you creating a formula with Dutch as language you have to use [Vandaag] (For more about MUI check out Multilingual User Interface (MUI) in SharePoint 2010 – Part I as well as Multilingual User Interface (MUI) in SharePoint 2010 – Part II)

Book Review–Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Power User Cookbook
The Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Power User Cookbook is an excellent book which is aimed specifically at getting things done in SharePoint without requiring development or hardcore administration skills. And I must say I like it.
This book is a must have reference guide for business power users who use SharePoint in their daily job but don’t need to know all the background about how SharePoint exactly works from a system perspective.
It is however also very useful for SharePoint administrators who need to perform common SharePoint tasks as well as for SharePoint business analysts and project manager who need a more practical view on how to accomplish things in SharePoint.
It contains over 70 recipes going from very basic tasks such as creating site columns, securing objects, etc … to more complex tasks such as creating external content types, creating dashboards using PerformancePoint Dashboard designer. Each of these recipes contains a number of different sections:
- Getting ready – explains for which version of SharePoint it works
- How to do it – step by step guideline about how to configure things in SharePoint
- How it works and There’s more – background information
- See also – reference to related recipes.
Each recipe consists of a limited number of pages containing the bare essential for getting your SharePoint task done. Great job from the authors…
