Overcome SharePoint list delegation limits with our Power App template, enabling efficient data loading up to 100MB without premium connectors.

The author, Tyler Kolota, discusses a novel approach for dealing with large SharePoint list data. He highlights a template app and flow setup which enables filtering, searching, sorting and loading of SharePoint list data without falling prey to delegation limitations.

  • Usually, it is challenging to make a Power App retrieve more than 2000 items from a large SharePoint list, especially when using more refined filters and searches on non-standard fields like Created By column, multiline text column or several columns simultaneously.
  • This new template addresses that issue and does more. It uses a Power Automate flow and the ParseJSON() expression in Power Apps, thus eliminating SharePoint list delegation limitations and associated problems.
  • It allows loading a significantly larger number of SharePoint records into a Power App, up to 100MB worth.
  • A highlight of the app is its capability to bypass the SharePoint interface 5000 list view threshold. It displays many more than 5000 records on a screen without the need for premium connectors.

Understanding SharePoint and Power App Integration

Tyler Kolota's approach to dealing with SharePoint list data brings a paradigm shift to the traditional limitations experienced. This current set-up circumvents the usual restraint of getting a maximum of 2000 items from a SharePoint list by using a Power Automate flow and parsing JSON expression in Power Apps. The innovation allows users to load a larger number of SharePoint records into a Power App, which can span up to 100MB worth. It significantly mitigates the SharePoint interface 5000 list view threshold, presenting an app interface capable of displaying more than 5000 records on one screen, sans premium connectors. This development is a noteworthy improvement in the seamless integration of SharePoint and Power Apps.
