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.
I'm need to apply a function to average a column (answer is correct (8)) if the other column (The nurse is caring for a a patient who dove into a) is NOT blank. I copied this over from an excel spreadsheet. I would like to keep the average in the top row. Right now it's saying "#unparseable" as the formula is not the same…
This discussion was created from comments split from: How do I combine multiple INDEX Collect formulas in one Formular?.
So here is my current formula… =COUNTIFS({Date Completed}, IFERROR(MONTH(@cell ), 0) = MONTH(TODAY()), {Staff name}, =Staff@row ) This works. It gives me a number for all observations submitted in the month. The problem is it also counts the month for the previous year. How do i filter the count by month and year? Thank…
