Reference all SharePoint Online data in PowerApp

Posted on by Smudgers9

I have created an App to assist our Service Desk during a migration project of all our telephony lines from one provider to another.

The App works by typing in a phone number, pressing search and they should then be presented with the full address and post code along with other key information about that site.
My problem is there are over 4300 lines to this SP list and I have since found out there is a maximum limit of 2000 lines that PowerApps can search.
I have seen similar posts using Mr Dangs suggestion Here but I can't work out how to put this into place with my own data.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

The App uses a text box to search which links to a Gallery that is pulling the data from the SP list.

The SP list is called Active Lines with multiple columns but the App will only look in the Phone Number, and Post Code columns to return data.

Can you advise how I resolve this issue please and if possible advise how I implement it as I have already created the App with a live date due for the 30th July and it's only just been brought to my attention that there is a major problem with it going live.

    Hi @Smudgers9 ,

    You could use StartsWith(), which is Delegable

    Filter(
 'Active Lines',
 StartsWith('Phone Number',YourTextBoxName.Text) &&
 StartsWith('Postcode',YourTextBoxName.Text)
)

    Set the Default of the text box to "" (empty string) is you want all records displayed before the user starts typing, otherwise leave it blank.
