Posted on by 170

I am writing a lookup against a sharepoint list which ha more than 6000 items. 

i can find items with = but not with in operatot. 

 

i have text field that may or may not contain my text, if it contains my text it should result that item. 

 

its not delegable, is there a workaround for this situation.

 

If(
    LookUp(
        'EMployee',
        'Position Title' in Text(text1.Value)
    ).ID > 0,
    Set(
        employeeitem,
        LookUp(
          'EMployee',
          'Position Title' in Text(text1.Value)
        )
    );
 
if i use = inplace of in that it works. but i need to do the contains search.

    Hi @KDAI ,

    That is because the in operator is not Delegable with SharePoint, There is no workaround for this with the structure and record numbers you have posted.
