Has anyone figured out a way to limit a sharepoint date source to a given view? If so, can someone share the filtering syntax? My list/form is very complex and has significantly north of 12 lookups.

    Hi @WhoRU87 ,

     

    Are you encountering the “exceed the lookup column threshold” error? Do you want to use a SP list view to be the data source?

     

    If you do, I’m afraid it is not available in Power Apps for now.

     

    If you would like this feature to be added, you may vote for the idea below in Power Apps Idea Forum:

    Hope this helps.

    Hi @WhoRU87 ,

    You can Filter Out the Data that you want to Show.

    Like below - 

    Filter(SplIst,ColumnName=Value);
    
    if you want to Display Only Distinct Value then 
    
    Distinct(Source,ColumnName).Result
