Delegation Warning datatable search

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 76

Need help solving another delegation issue... I built a powerapp that's connected to a SharePoint list that logs in shipments and notifies the user that they have been received. In the app, I also created Datatable (In Preview) for the user to see and search through all the records with a search box. 

 

I am using the formula below on the Datatable items: 

Search('Datasource', SearchInputShipping.Text, "TrackingNumber","Shipper","Carrier","Addressee")

 

which gives a delegation warning. It works, but I can see the log exceeding the delegation limit quickly and could use some advice on a better way to have a search feature. 

 

Can anyone recommend a better formula for use with a sharepoint list?

    Hi @PowerPete13 ,

    Quite simply, the Search function is not Delegable with SharePoint as a data source. The best you will do (in the absence of any other filters that may assist here) would be

    Filter(
     'Datasource', 
     StartsWith(
     SearchInputShipping.Text, 
     TrackingNumber
     ) ||
     StartsWith(
     SearchInputShipping.Text, 
     Shipper
     ) ||
     StartsWith(
     SearchInputShipping.Text, 
     Carrier
     ) ||
     StartsWith(
     SearchInputShipping.Text, 
     Addressee
     )
    )

    It will of course work if your data source numbers are under your (500 - 2,000) Delegation limit.

    Thanks for your input. Can't get it to work for some reason Warren. But I see the logic in the formula and it looks to be correct... Will keep trouble shooting why.
