SharePoint Online List - Row Limit for Lookup
Is there any row limit for a lookup column to lookup to? If yes, what is the threshold number?
For example, List A wants to set its field Country Lookup by looking up field Country from List B where Email from List A = Email from List B. List B has 10k rows.
Below is the error message receive in List A.
Appreciate your help. Thanks

izzatdarani Historically (using Classic experience) the threshold for lookup of elements in a list has been 5.000 and as far as i know this has not changed.
Are both of your lists "Modern"?
Best regards, Magnus

MagnusGoksoyrOLDProfile yes I'm using modern experience
- It's just what Magnus said...to mitigate the problem, try to create indexes in the lists you are linking with the lookup column
- izzatdaraniCopper ContributorI'd like to understand on how these indexes will help. Will it help if I set up the field "Email" as the index?
