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,

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!

I want to setup automation for a distribution email list. This distribution email list should be tied to each form request. Do I have to add it to the form or can I add it, somehow, to the responses sheet.

Hi Smartsheet Community! I would like to ask if having a large amount of data (rows and columns) in a main monitoring sheet can affect the speed or performance of Automated Update Requests. We are currently using Smartsheet for monitoring and have several automations that send Update Requests to assigned users. I would…
