Trying to Deal with Filters and Delegation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

I'm trying to build a power app that will filter a List in Sharepoint that will almost assuredly hit well over 2,000 items (I'm still in the development stage so the List hasn't actually been created yet). So delegation is going to be something I have to deal with, and I'm getting the warning message on my formula.

 

Here's where I'm at right now:

Filter('Test Data List', (Value(Paramin1.Text) < (Value (Parameter1)) &&  Value(Paramax1.Text) > (Value(Parameter1))) && (Orientation.Value = OrientationDrop.Selected.Value || OrientationDrop.Selected.Value = "") && ( 'Type' = TypeDrop.Selected.Value || TypeDrop.Selected.Value = ""))

 

Quick summary: I want to filter the list based on an input minimum and maximum value of Parameter 1 (a calculated column), as well as from two dropdowns (OrientationDrop and TypeDrop). I'd also like to sort those based on either Parameter 1 or another field, but let's deal with the Filter first.

 

I have read the article on delegation and what functions are delegable, but perhaps I'm just not very bright...I don't understand why I'm still getting the delegation warning. I know you can't use the < or > with a text or Boolean, but as I'm converting those columns to Values (numbers), that shouldn't apply, right? Will this formula delegate?

    As you are using Calculated column in formula,

    you are getting Delegation warning.

     

    Try to use AddColumns for calculation column or add a simple column and put values while item creation.

    Is it just because the calculated column exists? Because I had wondered if this was the issue, so instead I tried a simple filter of a different column with input numbers 

     

    Filter('Test Data List', Value (TextInput1.Text) > Value(Parameter2))

     

    And this still gives me a delegation warning. Do I need to not use a calculated column at all? It's not a problem if that's the case, I'm just really wanting to make sure this is going to work.

    You are correct! I removed the calculated column (which also negated the need for the Value(Parameter1)) and now all delegation warnings are gone. I greatly appreciate the help!
