(0) ShareShare

Posted on by WissemSASSI 2

Hi, 

I'm new with power apps and I'm trying to update a SharePoint document library using a power apps form which contain 6 lookup fields. I put this " LookUp('DocumentLibraryName'; ID = Value(Param("ID"))) " in item for the form and I got this error  " Error trying to retrieve data from the network: The query cannot be run because the number of lookup columns it contains exceeds the lookup column threshold. "

I see that I'm using more lookup fields that it supports but I have to so any solution please ??

    The limit is 12 lookups

    This includes all person or group fields, date fields and any custom lookup column created based on another list

    Created By, Modified By, Created, Modified are 4 basic fields in every list/library. 

    Please check your list how many columns you have in total. There is no solution other than deleting the columns
