Filter Datatable - Memory Usage Spike up

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3
Hi community, 

I am facing an issue with filter datatable action. The datatable contains 140K+ rows with 10 columns. Reading datatable process was complete successfully however filtering it takes more memory usage than reading it. 
 
 
is there any alternatives to filter this datatable without consuming a lot of memory?

Thanks

    Hi,
     
    Move this upstream, meaning I recommend doing this filter on a large dataset in Dataverse.  So use Dataflows and send your raw dataset this, filter it there, exactly as you are in your condition, then send the results to a Dataverse table.  Then connect to your table in your PAD and #keepgoing.
     
    Think upstream. #bestpractice
