Data source limits

[Msaldivar]

I have a problem.

i'm creating an app that uses imported data source from Excel file the problem is that i want to read 200,000 rows at least, but i dont know if i can do that or how i can do that because first, i increase the limit of data in the config from 500 to 2,000 rows and then i'm also using a formula that i think is a delegation function:  Search("my_Excel_file";TextSearchBox2.Text;"Column1";"Colmn2")

I'm using this function in a Browse Gallery and when i try to know how many data i'm reading, i use this function:

CountRows(BrowseGallery2.AllItems)

but the result is only 15,000, not thw 200,000 rows i need.

I need help cuz i don know how can i read the 200,000 rows

Hi @Msaldivar ,

Actually, it is the known limits with 'Add static data to your app' feature in PowerApps. The 'Add static data to your app' feature can only load a maximum of 15,000 records once time.

If you want to load more than 15,000 records from your static Excel file, as an fixed solution, you could consider bulk-load your Excel data into your app to multiple individual collections, then merge these individual collections into a single one collection, then use the single one collection as data source in your app.

Please check and see if the following blog would help in your scenario:
