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.
Hello, I have 2 date columns. I put a test sheet together for a visual reference. The Date 2 column needs a formula to calculate whichever date 39-45 days out is a Friday. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is there a way to display for one specific columns cell history display in another column for calculation purpose? I wanted to count each stage from one specific column by getting cell history in separate column to calculate duration. Thank you!
I want to use a list of account numbers in one sheet for a dropdown in another sheet using Table View. When I select the sheet and column in the dropdown menu, it shows the correct column but is dropping zeros. I have provided a screenshot of the reference column and then what appears in the drop down. Any ideas?
