Filter data from datasource

Posted on by Heartholme 1,278 Super User 2024 Season 1

Hello, 

 

For me, one of the big drawbacks with using PowerApps on datasources like a D365 enitity, is that you are not able to filter the results before you load them in. On PowerAutomate, you can filter the results by using Odata queries, which greatly increases the speed of operations. 

 

Is there some way to implement the same type filter query in PowerApps?

    You really are doing it the same way as long as your filter is delegable!

     

    Both connectors in PowerApps and PowerAutomate will load data into the session tables (you don't access these directly).  When you query the datasource, it will perform that action on the session table.  

     

    If your filter is not delegable in your app, then the app will have to pull ALL records (up to record limit) into the app in order to perform the query.  But, if it is delegable, you will get the same type of results that you do with PowerAutomate.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.
