Choice field filter not working on large SP list

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 57

Hello everyone,

This article says that I should be able to filter a large SharePoint list with an indexed Choice field: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/powerapps-now-supports-working-with-more-than-256-items-in-sharepoint-lists/

 

However, I get the bluedot suggestions every time, and I am not seeing all of my items. Why does the article say: "SharePoint connector now supports “equals” type of queries on columns that support filtering (Single line of text, choice, numbers, dates and people)"

    If you can switch to Azure SQL Database you will never go back to SharePoint as a database:

    Confirmed it is not working on lists with more than 500 items.  Nor on lists with more than 2000 items (if youve increased the limit using the experimental features).  Tested on a choice column, a calculated column pulling the choice column as text and doesnt work, if i move the values from a choice field into a text field then it works as expected.

     

    Please resolve asap.

     

    Thanks
