3. SharePoint list has 10,000 records but power apps gallery shows only 500. Why?

This usually happens due to a delegation limitation.
Possible reasons include:

  • The gallery formula uses a non-delegable function
  • Power Apps cannot send the query to SharePoint
  • Only the first 500 records are processed locally

Example:

Search(TrainingRequests, txtSearch.Text, EmployeeName)

Since Search() is not delegable in SharePoint, Power Apps evaluates only a limited portion of the dataset.
Developers should check:

  • Delegation warnings
  • Data row limit settings
  • Function support for the data source.
