by Our Current Inventory System has over 2000 items stored in a SharePoint list. Problems of course started to arise with the search functionality as soon as we went over the 2000 limit.
Two Solutions – Solution 1 – Split and Merge into a New Collection
The Inventory is divided into several Categories of Item, the largest being Metals with over 500 Items. Removing this Category to a separate SharePoint list would solve the problem but that would create difficulties with Search.
OnStart (Create 2 Collections)
ClearCollect(OurStock,ShowColumns(CurrentInventory,”ID”,”Item_x0020_Number”,”Item_x0020_Description”,”Category”, “SubCat”));
ClearCollect(OurMetal,ShowColumns(Metaals,”ID”,”Item_x0020_Number”,”Item_x0020_Description”,”Category”, “SubCat”));
Merge the 2 Collections into a Third Collection
ClearCollect(FullStock, OurStock, OurMetal)
Solution 2 – Merge into a New Collection
OnStart (Create 2 Collections) one in Ascending order the other in Descending order.
Concurrent(
ClearCollect( colInvent1, Sort(CurrentInventory, ID, Ascending) ),
ClearCollect( colInvent2, Sort( CurrentInventory , ID, Descending) ) );
Remove the Duplicates
ClearCollect( ( colInvent , ( colInvent1 , Filter( ( colInvent2 , Not(ID in ( colInvent1 .ID)) );
