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)

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.
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…
