Avoiding delegation using Sharepoint list as data source

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by pabitra 26

I have used a data source with 38000 rows with 3 columns(2 categories with multiple entries)

First category is indexed to second 800-1000 categories.

Saw this post to use clearcollect-

But, unable to follow.

Can i get the codes please for following filter function using clearcollect please

    There's a few issues here.

     

    #1 ClearCollect cannot be delegated  (so any collection you make will have a max of 2000 rows regardless)

    #2 Distinct cannot be delegated  (you'll need to get a list of the unique values from another place)

    #3 In operator cannot be delegated (but I'm not sure about your specific case)

     

    Please refer to this diagram to understand what functions can be delegated in SharePoint.
