How to CountRows large datasets (2000+)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by JonasH 82

Hey, 

I want to count rows of a SQL-Table, but SQL is marked with a delegation warning.

I increased the data row limit for non-delegable queries to 2000 (max).

Unfortunately my table has more than 2000 records.

If I display the table as a gallery and count the rows of the gallery, I have to scroll to the bottom of the gallery.

 

Thanks for your help.

    Hi @JonasH 

    Unfortunately, it's not possible to retrieve an accurate record count from within PowerApps due to the 2000 row limit.

    If you want a straight count of the records in your table, one way to work around this is to use a SQL Server View.

    You can create a view in SQL Server that looks like this:

     

     

    CREATE VIEW vwTableCount
AS
SELECT COUNT(*) AS [RowCount]
FROM
dbo.MyTable

    In your app, you can add this View as a datasource. In the label where you want to display the count, you can use the following formula:

    First(vwTableCount).RowCount
