    RENDERD FAILED error for lookup group by column!

     

    Hello everyone,

    So here is my problem,

    I created a list of client which contains a calculated (concatenate(field1;" ";field2)) field based on two other columns of the same list. Then I created another list which contains a lookup on the calculated column of the first list, then I created a view that should groups on the lookup column.... and in result I got the "<!-- #RENDER FAILED -->" for all data in view in just a single row.

    Then I tried something and here is the result:
    if you set the group by option to 'expanded' by default in the view settings, it renders OK. However, this is not ideal when you have a large number of groups, but better then before!

    If someone can help me with explaining me what is going on I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks! Shalin

    Hi Shalin,

    Calculated columns are not calculated and stored as data in the list or in the database.  They are only calculated (on the fly) during display.  This is why it works when the list is expanded.
