Who this helps

Makers building galleries that need to keep working after the list gets large.

What to standardize

  • Start with delegable filters first.
  • Use StartsWith for SharePoint search when possible.
  • Combine status and ownership filters carefully.
  • Avoid wrapping columns in non-delegable transformations.

Examples

Status and search

Filter a request gallery by status and title search.

Formula / code
Filter(
    Requests,
    RequestStatus.Value = cmbStatus.Selected.Value,
    StartsWith(Title, txtSearch.Text)
)

Expected result: The gallery filters by selected status and typed title prefix.

Common mistakes

  • Using Search on large SharePoint lists
  • Lowercasing the column in the filter
  • Ignoring delegation warnings
