33. What happens when delegation fails?

When delegation fails, Power Apps cannot send the query to the data source.

Instead:

• Power Apps downloads a limited number of records (500 or 2000)
• The formula runs locally inside the app
• Remaining records are ignored

Example:

Filter(Requests, IsBlank(EmployeeName))

In SharePoint this condition is not delegable, so Power Apps evaluates only the first part of the dataset.
