SharePoint column data not showing up. What is happening?
I was having this issue also and came across the answer that knot_that_smart gave. However, I did not have two fields with the same name. What ended up working for me was to hide the column and then un-hiding the column. After that, everything came back.
1) Click on one of the heading and choose - "Column settings" then click on "Show/hide columns"
2) Untick the current issue field.
3) Click "Apply"
4) Click on one of the heading and choose - "Column settings" then click on "Show/hide columns"
5) Tick the current issue field.
6) Click "Apply"
After that, everything came back. It did appear all the way over to the right, but I just dragged it back to the correct position.
IT_Manager-GZA I tried all the solutions proposed above, but the text in the title column is still not showing. I can only see what's in it after clicking in the individual entry. This started today. Yesterday everything was ok.
- DanyPereyraMay 07, 2024Copper ContributorIm in the same situation with the Title column ... Any solutions now?
- KamziJun 29, 2024Copper Contributor
DanyPereyra it has to do with the JSON formatting. Click on the column> Column Settings>Format this column.
Not really sure what's causing the issue, but that's the workaround for now.

Amigo,
Este tipo de errores o pasa por temas de JSON al darle formato a la columna o bien porque quisiste añadir una columna de busqueda, en el caso que situes una columna de busqueda y la columna es Title, sucede esto.
Deberias ir a la configuración de la lista, tienes que editar la vista actual donde te van aparecer todas las columnas. En mi caso, se ve perfectamente como la columna Title esta seleccionada y la columna que realmente es Title no lo esta. DanyPereyra- DanyPereyraMay 07, 2024Copper ContributorSusxn
Sabes que no he agregado columnas de búsqueda ni editado nada en el JSON, el rollo es que todas mis listas de diferentes sitios se actualizaron solas y en todas se renombró sola la columna de nuevo como "Title" (porque en la mayoría les había cambiado el nombre), pero ahora no muestra nada de info, igual cuando abro el item a detalle si tiene los datos, pero no me deja manipular esa info
Sabes si hay alguna otra solución?
Saludos!

It had also the same issue, Title colum that I had already changed the name to 'Nom', it shows Title column and no data visible. Only visible when edit item.
Go to List settings, views and click on All items. Check if there are two columns (Title, Name Changed), then disable one. - IT_Manager-GZAMay 02, 2024Copper Contributor
Andre_Oliveira Interesting. I am not sure what to tell you as that solution above worked for me. Have you tried creating a new View and/or used a new column with calculated formula to reference that problem column? Those might be some alternative workarounds to get the data to re-appear. Good luck!
- Andre_OliveiraMay 08, 2024Copper ContributorThank you for all the help!
I am staying with excel spreadsheets. I was testing Lists as an alternative also because of the mobile phone app. It seems it is not stable and reliable enough. I will consider it again when it's more dependable.- SusxnMay 08, 2024Copper ContributorHere are two compelling arguments for transitioning from Excel to Microsoft Lists:
Enhanced Collaboration: Microsoft Lists is specifically designed for team collaboration, allowing multiple users to work simultaneously on the same list without the risk of conflicts or data loss that can occur in Excel. Lists also integrate seamlessly with other Microsoft 365 applications, like Teams and SharePoint, making it easier to manage workflows and share data across your organization in real-time.
Customization and Automation: Microsoft Lists offers greater flexibility for customization and automation compared to Excel. You can use smart rules and alerts to automate tasks and ensure critical updates are communicated instantly. This can help streamline processes and increase efficiency, particularly for task management and tracking progress, which are less intuitive in Excel.
Switching to Microsoft Lists could significantly enhance your team’s productivity and data management capabilities, especially if your work involves extensive collaboration and task tracking.
