What happens when I reach my 5000th row?

Vivien Chong

May I know if there will be any alert when a sheet is reaching it's 5000th row?

My team is working on my sheet as free collaborators, can I be alerted when the sheet is reaching the maximum capacity?

Thanks.

Hi Vivien,

Yes, you'll get an error message when you've exceeded the size, but not when you're reaching it if I remember correctly. (see attached screenshot)

A workflow could be set up with so-called helper column(s) that would send alerts, move/copy rows.

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Best,

Thanks Andree.

On the alert notification, how to do that to receive notification nearing the limit?

We can't move row as the sheet contains vlookup formula and we need it for database record.

Will the vlookup formula be in error if we move the row to another sheet? (have not tested this yet)

Thanks.

Happy to help!

If you don't delete or move rows, we could use an auto number column and then set up an alert or similar to trigger at a specific number.

The VLOOKUP would probably not be in error, but I'd need more information to be sure.
