Increase sheet row and column limits

I collect a huge number of data in each of my sheets (Time tracker, task by task) and every 15 days I need to move them to a back up file. Would that be possible for Smartsheet to increase the limit of rows (Similar with excel maybe?) per sheet in order to avoid this backup creation every 15 days? I would like to have the consolidated data in one place, and even though we can do that in a report, all the time when a new file is created I need to add that to the report (which might lead to mistakes). Also, not everybody is able to filter in the report (as it changes everything right?).

extend the capacity of a single sheet to more than 20k rows. Even extending it to 30k would help but this capacity limit is very restricting in large organizations with large, long term projects.

Hello,

It would be great to increase sheet and reports capacity.

20.000 rows or 500.000 cells it's not enough. I think it should be like 100.000 rows per sheet. I would like to use connector/bridge or data shuttle for larger data sets and not to think how to split sheets into many different archive files. It would be a great game changer for every advanced Smartsheet user.

Hi folks,

I work on the Product team here at Smartsheet on this issue, and I'd like to give some feedback about our direction for new limits on sheets.

You may have seen on the Engage keynote that we're making scale a focus of our work right now and announced some major work in this area; we know that you're feeling pain around having to split your work up into multiple sheets when you'd much prefer to work in the same place on all your data. We hear you!

What we're aiming for as of now is the following sizes on a sheet:

• 5 million cells on a sheet (up from 500k)
• Up to 1 million rows on a sheet (up from 20k)
• Up to 1,000 columns on a sheet (up from 400)

So that could be expressed as up to 1 million rows with 5 columns, or up to 5,000 rows with 1,000 columns, or anything in between up to the 5m cell limit.

Additionally, we're aiming for no further surprises in terms of what you can put in those cells; you could have 5m cells links, or 5m formulas, with no further restrictions.

These numbers and goals aren't final, or binding - we may have to change some up or down slightly as we work through it, and I can't give you a hard timeline on this, as there's a lot of work we need to do behind the scenes to get there. However, I can tell you that this is something we're actively spending a lot of effort on right now.

What are all your thoughts?
