Service descriptions for SharePoint 2013
This post here http://modery.net/new-service-descriptions-for-office-365-wave-15/
has a list of all the services in SharePoint 2013 and what version they are available in.
The interesting one for me is that SSRS is available in the E3 and E4 Office 365 plans. Not seen anything about that and I am interested as to how it will work.

A quick post to highlight an issue you may face if you have upgraded to Office / Excel 2013. I recently created some Excel reports for Project Server 2010 using Excel 2013. These reports failed to refresh in Excel Services. After a quick check on the connection string in Excel, the provider is MSOLAP.5 rather than the usual MSOLAP.4 provider when using Excel 2010. See below
Excel 2010:
Excel 2013:
The ULS log error is:
The workbook ‘http://vm730:81/pwa/ProjectBICenter/Reports/Actual Work.xlsx’ attempted to access external data using the unsupported provider ‘Provider=MSOLAP.5
The fix is very simple, navigate to Central Admin > Manager Service Applications > Excel Services > Trusted Data Providers then add the MSOLAP.5 provider as below:
How to hide the SharePoint ribbon
Here is a quick post to show you how you can hide the SharePoint ribbon on a page using JavaScript. This was created by one of my colleagues so I am not sure of why the ribbon needed to be hidden but here is how.
function hideEditRibbon() {
var ribbon = SP.Ribbon.PageManager.get_instance().get_ribbon();
// Set the tab to the “Browse” tab
SelectRibbonTab("Ribbon.Read", true);
// Remove the “Edit” tab from a list from from the ribbon.
ribbon.removeChild('Ribbon.ListForm.Edit');
}
SP.SOD.executeOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(function() {
var pm = SP.Ribbon.PageManager.get_instance();
pm.add_ribbonInited(function() {
hideEditRibbon();
});
var ribbon = null;
try {
ribbon = pm.get_ribbon();
}
catch (e) { }
if (!ribbon) {
if (typeof(_ribbonStartInit) == "function")
_ribbonStartInit(_ribbon.initialTabId, false, null);
}
else {
hideEditRibbon();
}
},
"sp.ribbon.js");
Just add this code to a page using the content editor web part and it will work.

Add the SharePoint Version Number to a Word Document
A client asked me today how he could insert the Version of a file stored in a Sharepoitn Library into a word 2010 document, my initial response was “use Quick Parts” but I tested and to my surprise it’s not showing in the list of QuickParts.
Nor in the column value “[Version]” can be used in a different column: the value is being saved only after the item is processed and therefore any calculated value will not take the change and display 0.
Thanks to those simple no-code steps by CodebyCody it’s a quick fix which gets you to start using Sharepoint Information Management Policy Settings. Enabling this label at a Content Type level for instance “Document” will fix all document library in one shot.

SPD 2010 Workflow Form Error
While working on a migration project recently, we had reason to republish the OOTB Approval workflow to update the owner.
After this update we found that the OOTB Approval Workflow would not submit anymore.
After much head-scratching and googling I came across this social thread that covers the fault in some detail, the issue is caused by having KB2553322 installed on the PC with SPD2010 installed, as soon as we removed the patch and republished the workflow normal service was resumed.

Quick Powershell to delete all items in my Sharepoint list
A quick post with a simple script I gathered a while back that comes in handy for data cleansing before releasing a site:
– how to delete the 100s of items in my list without doing it from the web interface (limited to the maximum displayed in a view)
Use the #powershell script below.
Warning: do this at your own risk, don’t get the wrong site/list or you will regret it 
<strong>
</strong> # script starts here…</div>
<div>[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load(“Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c”) | out-null
$oContentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService;
[Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebApplicationCollection]$waColl = $oContentService.WebApplications;
$siteUrl = “http://SharepointSite”
$webName = “”
$spSite = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($siteurl)
$spWeb = $spSite.OpenWeb($webName)
$spList = $spWeb.Lists["List Name"]
foreach ($item in $spList.items)
{
$deaditem=$splist.GetItemById($item.ID)
$deaditem.Delete()
}</div>
