PL-900 Delegation Practice Question
Which THREE data sources support delegation in Power Apps? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates may be misled by the 'choose three' instruction and think they need to pick exactly three, but all three listed (SharePoint, SQL Server, Dataverse) are correct. They might incorrectly assume SQL Server does not support delegation or overlook Dataverse as a delegable source.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
SharePoint lists
SharePoint lists, SQL Server, and Microsoft Dataverse all support delegation in Power Apps. Since the question asks for three, all three are correct. SharePoint uses its OData endpoint for server-side queries. SQL Server supports delegation for most operations, though with limitations. Dataverse uses its own query engine for full delegation. Excel workbooks and text files lack server-side processing and do not support delegation.
