List View Threshold Enforced by Administrator

SharePoint 2013 Foundation On-Prem

This error is from Excel that is linked to a Tasks list which is now exceeded the LVT, which I previously increased to 10,000. I have the same issue with most of my views on the tasks list itself and even after reading a lot of articles regarding indexing, filtering results and this still doesn't make sense to me.

Moving to the server first and a standard view that is created with the following filters.

The list currently has 10447 items;

  • Completed = 9304
  • In Progress = 1142
  • Not Started = 1

ViewName: Task Cleanup

  • Status (indexed) = Completed AND
  • Modified <= [Today]-60

So with the view using a indexed column as the 1st filter and the filtered result is under the LVT, I am not sure why this view is having the error?

"This view cannot be displayed because it exceeds the list view threshold (10000 items) enforced by the administrator."

What am I missing?

    Is there anyone that can either explain this or provide direction to an article that does, thanks?

    since you are working on-prem you may try the following: run SQL server profiler and check what exact SQL query is executed when you open your view and how many records it returns from the table. It looks like that it still gets all records (which causes throttling) and only after that filters them. In general what you did (limiting number of items by adding extra filters) should help with such problems.
