Create Power app form on an existing SharePoint list with more than 12 lookup columns

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 13

Hello everyone, I am new to Power Apps. I am trying to create a customized list form on an existing SharePoint list. I was getting an error "The query cannot be completed because the number of lookup columns it contains exceeds the lookup column threshold" while creating the Power App, because, I just learnt that, the list has more than 12 lookup columns. 

I am looking for suggestion as to how to proceed with the power app creation with this existing list. I cannot delete lookup columns from the list. 

 

Thanks

    Hi @mambiger ,

     

    There is no direct way to bypass the 12 LookUp columns threshold of SharePoint lists. Please consider vote for the idea that supports using SharePoint list views as data sources in Power Apps:

    Besides, there is a link in that idea which is the tutorial of using flow to get SharePoint list view and pass to Power Apps, please check if it could helps.
