Hi I've been reading about group by in SharePoint 2013 CSOM from this article here. https://piyushksingh.com/2016/11/21/retrieve-grouped-listitems-sharepoint

I've recently upgraded to 2013 and though to give his example a go. All seems to work fine however when I switched from a standard field to a lookup field then I got duplicates.

My code.

CamlQuery test = new CamlQuery();
            test.ViewXml = @"<View Scope='Recursive'>
   <Query>
        <GroupBy Collapse='TRUE' GroupLimit='300'>
            <FieldRef LookupId='TRUE' Name='Doc_x002e__x0020_Type_x003A_Section'/>
         </GroupBy >
        <Where>
          <And>
             <Eq>
                <FieldRef Name='RiO_x0020_ID' />
                 <Value Type='Text'>1000002</Value >
               </Eq>
               <Neq>
                  <FieldRef Name='_Status' />
                   <Value Type='Text'>Hidden</Value>
                 </Neq>
              </And >
           </Where >
    </Query>
           <ViewFields>
                 <FieldRef Name='Doc_x002e__x0020_Type_x003A_Section' />
           </ViewFields>
            <RowLimit paged='TRUE'>30</RowLimit>

                <Aggregations >
                      <FieldRef Name='Doc_x002e__x0020_Type_x003A_Section' Type='COUNT'/>
                     </Aggregations>
        </View>";



            test.FolderServerRelativeUrl = "/Drafts/Documents/1000002";
            //Idea for aggregations
            var l = _sp.Web.Lists.GetByTitle('Documents');
            var q = l.RenderListData(test.ViewXml);

            _sp.ExecuteQuery();

            return Content(q.Value);

And some of the response.

  • I think this is because of not being able to specify a folder which is my down fall I'm trying things with queryoptions but to no avail. Commented Apr 27, 2018 at 20:23
