Delegation Warning while filtering a Sharepoint list

[AakashJaiswal]

Hi,

I am tired of the delegation warning appearing everywhere in my app where I am using the filter formula to filter my backend database located on Sharepoint. I read many threads about this issue being faced by other people but none of the solutions worked for me. I don't know what am I doing wrong. Attached is the screenshot for your reference.

Please help.

The problem is that you are using an embedded function in the filter statement.  Try changing your statement to something like this and see if that doesn't clear the warning.

set(ProfileDisplayName, Office365User.MyProfile().DisplayName);ClearCollect(MyRequests,Filter(TaskPlannerDatabase, RequestorName = ProfileDisplayName));

Hi @Pstork1 ,

Thank you for your reply. Your solution worked like a charm. However, I am facing Delegation warnings in 3 more cases. Can you help me with that as well? With this, my app will be delegation warning free.

Case 1

 Case 2 (If I change it to TaskId = MyAssignmnets.TaskID, it says "Invalid Argument Type") - TaskId is a column

 Case 3

Case 1: Not '!' is non delegable.  Instead write it as ...Value = false.

Case 2: I don't have a way to solve this.  You are getting the error because ID is probably and Integer and 'in' is strictly a text search.  But 'in' is also non-delegable so it won't work anyway in terms of delegation.

Case 3: I can't really solve this one either.  Sum() is a non-delegable function.  Assuming the Filter() never returns more than 500 records, you can safely ignore the warning.  Otherwise the workaround is to pull the records into a collection using multiple filters that will get each dataset below 500 records then do the SUM() on the local collection

Hi @Pstork1 ,

I found the solution for all the 3 cases.

Case 1: The delegation warning was happening due to ambiguity in column name (both had value columns)

Case2: Filtering a table by a column from another table. (This works but has performance issues) 

Clear(Table3);
ForAll(Table1, Collect(Table3, Filter(Table2, ColumnA=Table1[@ColumnA])))

Case3: I just created a collection using the same filter formula. Then I did a sum on this collection.

ClearCollect(TotalHours,Filter(EffortHoursDatabase,ResourceName = ProfileDisplayName)); 
Sum(TotalHours,Hours)

Please post this as a new question rather than adding it as a reply to an old thread.  It won't really get the same exposure here.
