160 character limit in field (used for sms)
Comments

There's no way to enforce a character limit today, but you could set the sheet up to warn you if you type too much text. You might create a column to measure the length of the SMS field with the formula =len(<sms field>). Then you could set a conditional format on the SMS field to turn red when the character count goes over 160.

Very good. This helps us with at least 75% of the functionality we were after, thanks.

Lars,
You could also send only the first 160 characters using the LEFT formula.
Type in one column, send from the truncated column.
