Has anyone received this error message before? What are the options for large data?

Hi David,
How many rows/columns do you have in the sheet? Do you have large attachments?
I hope this helps you!
Best,
Andrée Starå - Workflow Consultant @ Get Done
I received this before when collecting data. Once my sheet reached I think it was 5000 entries (no attachments 22 columns) it automatically closed my form. I didn't realize until someone notified me that the form link was broken.
I save multiple data files to a smartsheet workspace then run the report using the entire workspace as the source (see "Where?" in report builder).
Limits:
5000 rows
200 columns
200,000 cells (not 5000x200)

Is there a file size limit as well? I am receiving that error on a sheet with only 3000 rows and about 30 columns.
I'm facing the same problem with 3333 rows...
@Mariam_Lolua Can you provide more details as to the setup and desired function of your sheet(s)? Unfortunately there is no way to increase the limits per sheet, but there could be a solution using multiple sheets in conjunction with various other features that could help your sheet continue to work without exceeding said limits.
The SSFeatures browser extension can help here.
It lets you see how close you are to all of the limits (rows, columns, cells, cross-sheet references, etc), and it alerts you when one of your sheets is close to a limit.
This way you have time to restructure the sheet before it breaks.
You can read more about this feature, and watch a demo video here:
Hope this helps!

Anyway we can make this view only for security purposes? We would like to prevent users from sending responses to other users by accident.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
