Hi everyone
I was wondering if there is a way to set up an alert when a sheet is approaching the limit of entries.
( data is coming in thorough web forms)
Thanks!

Hi Noemi,
Yes, you could add an auto numbering column and have an alert triggered when it reaches a specified number.
Would that work?
Have a fantastic week!

That won't work a second time though, as after she deletes the rows it will continue to count up from where it left off. It would be better to set aside a cell for the math
=if(countif(A:A,isblank(@cell)) + count(A:A)>4900,1,0)
That gives you 100 submissions before it maxes so you can go in and work on it without the chance of losing data. Just set an alert on the cell for when it changes to 1.
You're correct!
Depending on the need your method might be better, but with the autonumber column, the count could be reset if needed.

I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
