Removing HTML from data from SP list RRS feed

  • Question

  • I am using a SP Designer "Data View" to access data in an SP list. Some of the columns in the list are stored as HTML (for example a "Person or Group" type column). How can I get this data to display cleanly int he Data View instead of displaying the HTML code?

  • Hi,

    In the data view select the column and then go to the display and select it as display as text.

    I hope this will help you out.

  • Thanks, you put me on track. However it actually needed to be on "Rich Text". The "Text" setting was default.
