Hello Folks,

 

I have large sharepoint online list which has more than 18000 items, I want to query list data based on some filters, which will return more than 6000 items.

 

I know that Nintex query list action not work after 5000 item

Can you Please suggest any workaround to resolve this issue.

 

Thanks,

Sachin

Hi @sachin 


 


This is a limit set by Microsoft to ensure fair use of the system, you would need to break up the query into multiple parts. perhaps look up certain categories at a time. 


 


For example if you had a list of every city in the world, rather than looking up every city at once giving you more than 10,000 cities, instead query by continent and merge the data in a collection. 


 


the workflow might look a little like this: 



The workflow will probably be very slow and may throttle, You may want to see if this will be quicker in NWC.


 


Kind regards


Jake
