Delegate filter function with in operator

[GrafG]

Hello,
I would like to delegate a filter function to a sharepoint list:
Filter(@SharepointList, TextBox.Text in 'Column1')
The "in" makes this indelegatable. Is there a workaround for this?
Using "StartsWith" won't cut it since the users might not always know the starting letters/digits...
Thank you in advance

StartsWith is the only workaround we have.  If you need SEARCH function capabilities that are not limited by delegation you must change datasource to SQL or the Common Data Service.

Here's a full list of delegable Sharepoint functions.

Hi @GrafG ,

@mdevaney is correct that you cannot filter a SharePoint list using "in".  However, if you  create a collection from your list, you can filter it using "in" and there is theoretically no limit to the number of items in a collection.  There are several ways you can overcome the 2k limit on the Collect and ClearCollect functions.  One example is /How-can-i-manage-to-filter-more-than-2000-records .  All SharePoint lists have an ID column and you can use that to bring in chunks of data that can be added to a single collection.
