Cell Count

Did you know Smartsheet has a maximum cell limit? So, how do you know when the sheet is nearly full?
Perhaps you want to implement a data processing rule that records need to be archived every so often to keep active sheets manageable? (ask us about our super Smarter Controls 4 Sheets app that does this automagically)
Either way, today’s Top Tip Tuesday shows you how.
🌟 Add a column on the left side of your Smartsheet
and call it ‘Cell Count’.
🌟 Pop this formula into the first cell:
=COUNTIF ([Name of left most column]: [Name of right most column], NOT (ISBLANK(@cell)))
Example shown in the image:
=COUNTIF ([Invoice Template]:[Customer Address PostCode], NOT (ISBLANK(@cell)))
🌟 You can now create a workflow which looks at changes in the Cell Count column and arrange for an alert to be sent to the sheet owner when your target is reached.
Make sure you include the actual column names from
your sheet – this example uses Invoice Template and
Customer Address Postcode as the first and last
columns in the array – see image!
