Paginated Table

Easy 2 min setup No componentsscrTablePaginated

Keyset paging: each page is its own delegable query for the next ten rows after the last one shown, so paging never stops at the data row limit. Previous pages are a stack of cursors.

Best for: Very long lists where people step through pages rather than scroll.

Two parts to paste. The Screen YAML and the App.Formulas. The formulas are the same for all ten patterns, so an app with several of them needs that block once. Without it the screen has no colours, sizes or sample rows — or download the .msapp to skip the paste.

How it works

The 2 techniques that make this pattern work on a list big enough to matter.

The cursor is Created, not ID

ID > n does not delegate on SharePoint; Created > date does. Rows are ordered by Created and the page starts after the last row of the previous one.

FirstN(SortByColumns(Filter(src, Created > locTpgCursor),
    "Created", SortOrder.Ascending), nfTbl.PageSize + 1)

Previous is a stack

Each Next pushes the current cursor onto colTpgCursors; Previous pops it. There is no skip on SharePoint, so a page number cannot be jumped to directly.

Connect to SharePoint

It ships on sample rows. The queries are already written the way SharePoint needs, so switching is a rename rather than a rewrite.

Add your list as a data source.
In btnTpgLoad.OnSelect, replace colTblItems with your list (the Filter(colTblItems, ...) inside the ClearCollect).
Delete nfSeedTblItems(); from the screen’s OnVisible.
If your columns are named differently, rename them in the screen, or add matching columns to the list.
Index these columns: Created, Title, ItemKey, StatusKey, CategoryKey.

Specific to this pattern

Index Created; it is the paging key.

The columns the patterns read

Column	Type	Used for
Title	Text	The item's name; searched and sorted
ItemKey	Text	A unique reference, e.g. ITM-0042; searched, and the selection key
Owner	Text	Who the item belongs to
OwnerEmail	Text	The owner's email
StatusKey	Text	NotStarted, InProgress, OnHold or Completed
CategoryKey	Text	A key from nfTblCategories
PriorityKey	Text	High, Medium or Low
Amount	Number	A money value
DueDate	Date	When it is due; overdue rows turn red
Created	Date and time	Built in on a SharePoint list

Rules that keep it working past 5,000 rows

Every filter on a growing list must delegate: equality on an indexed column, StartsWith on text, and And or Or of those. in, Search() and <> do not delegate on SharePoint.
An "All" choice must send no condition. Put the If outside the Filter and test the key with IsBlank, never with = "": a blank key compared with a column filters on blank and returns nothing.
Sort with one literal SortByColumns per column. A column name held in a variable does not delegate.
Index every column you filter or sort on before the list passes 5,000 items. Past that, SharePoint refuses an unindexed filter or sort outright.
CountRows, Sum and Average do not delegate. Show rows loaded rather than a total, or keep totals in a list a scheduled flow maintains.
