Hello,
I am facing some issue using this method. My SP list has around 50000 rows with a date range from 01/06/2022 to 15/12/2022. However, when I check in the date column, I am only able to see data for June & July, for other months it is not displaying anything. Could you let me know what could I be doing wrong here?
