How to Create a DataSheet View on a List in SharePoint 2010
In this blog post I will create a Datasheet View on a list in SharePoint 2010. Datasheet Views are very powerful and allow for quick data entry. You can even cut and paste from an Excel spreadsheet into a Datasheet View. If you have the 64 bit version of the Office 2010 programs installed on your client machine, the Datasheet View won't work without a hot fix. I have a bare metal dev server with SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 installed.
In this example, I have a Site Collection with the Team Site as the Top Level Site and I have a list of some of the current courses offered at Interface Technical Training. I want to add some more courses quickly by copying them from a spreadsheet. To do this, I will create a Datasheet View. In this blog, I'll just show the part of creating the Datasheet View.
This will change the ribbon to be contextual to interacting with the actual list as a container, which is where you create the views.
Datasheet View is very similar to Access View but occurs entirely in the browser and is a great tool for rapid data entry.
I name the view QuickEdit-DSV (I like to use DS or DSV in my Datasheet View Names) and configure the columns as needed. In this case SharePoint guessed correctly.
To add some data from a spreadsheet, I would simply scroll to the bottom and choose a cell and paste in the data. Of course the columns have to match up.
That's it!
