A canvas app uses a SharePoint list as its data source. The list contains over 5000 items. Users can only see the first 500 items in the app. What is the most likely solution?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Modify the query to use a delegable filter
Power Apps has a default delegation limit of 500 items for non-delegable queries. Using a delegable query (e.g., Filter with column that supports delegation) solves this. Changing to gallery doesn't help; increasing list size limit is not possible; switching to Dataverse avoids the issue but is a bigger change.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Change the gallery to display items in a data table
Why it's wrong here
Data table also respects delegation limits.

Why it's wrong here
Migration solves delegation but is not the simplest solution.
- ✗
Increase the SharePoint list view threshold

SharePoint list view threshold is 5000, but Power Apps delegation limit is separate.

Modify the query to use a delegable filter
