Posted on by Prabhu_Rajaram

hello experts, i have created an application where i need to do the lookup value from static excel, it has more than 25k records and it will grow further in future. i used the below function to lookup the value but it works only upto 15000 records exactly. how to make it work with large data?

ClientList -> excel table (static excel)

Engagement number is the column in excel table

DataCardValue6 is the reference field

'Eng Manager Name' is the result i need to get from excel table.

 

The above function is working fine exactly till 15000 records, but it didnt pick the result post 15000.

    Static excel can only import 15k records but you can import sequential 15k tables and combine them in a collection. See my post here about how to import 45k zip codes. To use as a LookUp table.  https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Community-Blog/Automatically-Prefill-City-and-State-using-Zip-Codes-in-your-App/ba-p/200465  as an example.
