Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi All,

Could anyone please suggest me what to use for filters/gallery:

a) Connection to sharepoint list and use in gallery

b) Collect sharepoint list data in powerapps using collect() and then used.

Which performed good?

Categories:

That depends how large of your data, and the record update frequency.

I believe you should noticed that there are delegation issues when working with large data in PowerApps, for the detailed information, please review:

Understand Delegation

Delegable Data Sources

For the record update frequency, data source added within PowerApps is a connection, if there are any changes, PowerApps would generate a service call to the data source side, and apply the changes there and get the updated response back.

Staff Mehdi Slaoui Andaloussi has a blog talking about the performance, for the detailed performance considerations, please review:
