Increase cell character count

Kirsten George

I use Smartsheet to document contract compliance. Sometimes compliance actions can take up to 2 years and I exceed the 4,000 characters in an excel cell. Is there a way to increase the # of characters in a cell?

There currently is no way to increase the limit, but I have run into a few instances where it would have been really nice to be able to have more than 4,000 characters. I'm adding my vote.

I just had to abandon a really cool use of Document Builder because one of the fields was going to exceed the character limit. I've ended up replacing it all with a file upload field, but I'm super bummed.

You've got my vote :)

@Kirsten George Perhaps I am misunderstanding your needs but, couldn't you use the comments field to store some of your information?

@joelsmit94161 - I need to be able to download the compliance action information into reports to send to various regulatory departments, lawyers, etc, so the comments field would not work unfortunately.
