Is there a way to set up an alert on a sheet for when it is nearing the 5000-row limit?
Thanks!
You would need to use a helper column to establish how many rows are currently on a sheet. You could then set up a notification to trigger when the number in that column reaches a certain amount.
Hi Lisi,
To add to Paul's suggestion.
The helper column could be an auto number column if you're not using one for anything else.
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!

Andree,
I thought about the auto-number column, but then there's the hassle of having to reset it if you happen to delete any rows.
Yes, of course! If that's the case!
Then it would be better to use a formula that would count only the actual rows.
I typically will reference a column that will always have text in it (task name for instance) and then use a straightforward COUNTIFS.
=COUNTIFS([Task Name]$1:[Task Name]@row, ISTEXT(@cell))
.
Of course you could always just reference the entire column and tuck the formula elsewhere and then trigger the notification off of that cell, but I use row numbers as a visual reference.
My particular uses involve actually displaying specific row numbers in some metrics (I believe it piggy-backs off of a solution you provided for something else) to give people the ability to quickly jump to past due tasks.
You're thinking of my TOC solution.
Hi all, I'm having some issues with an index-collect formula. I have (3) existing sheets that list a unique project name (text field), as well as a producer assigned to work that project. The producer column in all (3) sheets is set as a contact field. In a separate sheet, I'm trying to auto-populate the producer…
I am currently in business trial version, but i was told it is supposed to allow for full functionality, however when I click Ctr+F my search menu is only a search bar that allows me to only find the string, and it doesn't allow for replacing. Is it me or the F&R functionality rather limited?
I looking to find unique values, in order, and separate them into columns. The "Client Update Date" column will contain dates, not in order and some dates may be duplicated. In the "1st Date Feedback I'm getting the correct date of 12/12/25 with the formula: =MIN([Client Update Date]:[Client Update Date]) In the "2nd Date…
