Currently in Sharepiont 2010. I have a list that just went over 5000 items. I have columns indexed and all views are filtered with these indexed columns. One of the columns is a "Date and Time" type called Recommendation Date. My hope is to use a filter showing the last 12 months' info, so filtering this date to showing everything with a Recommendation Date greater than or equal to [Today]-365.

If I have [Today]-365 it says my list is too large. Playing with the numbers, at Recommendation Date greater than or equal to [Today]-282, I have 1722 items returned. At greater than or equal to [Today]-283 it says I have too many. At exactly (equals) [Today]-283, it returns 10 items. My [Today]-365 should be far less than 5000 items (it's taken 3 years to get to this point), any thoughts as to what I'm missing?

Getting the views to work on large items can be tricky. Maybe the view is using some column that is not indexed? In certain cases I used this hack: Try to add to your view another clause where ID>1 .That helped me in quite few situations.

  • Thank you. I tried ID>1 and that didn't work. All filters are with indexed columns. Now that we are one day past my question, [Today]-283 works, but [Today]-284 is tripping the "too many items." So there's something wrong with an item (or items) with a date code of 13 July 2018!
