Flow for more than 2000 records in collection/gallery from Excel in OneDrive

[IMathur]

hi folks,

I am trying to make a PowerApps  app. Currently, I am using OneDrive Excel as my data source and it has around 5000+ rows, and there is a limitation in gallery viewing for 2000 items only. Because after this gallery screen I have edit form for each item, if I use static excel, I can't edit it.

I got to know that it can be performed using flow with initializing variables and a loop inside the flow then retrieve all the 5000+ rows in collection/gallery?

Any help is appreciated!

Check out this video I did, it's referring to SharePoint data, but the same concept will apply:

If you enable pagination in the settings of the list rows and set the maximum to higher than 5000+ you will be able to retrieve 5,000+ rows and process them.  For efficiency you should also set the Top Count under advanced to something like 100 or 250.  That is the page size that will be used for retrieving the 5000+ records.  Otherwise it will try to retrieve all of them at once which is very inefficient.
