Google Workspace: Spreadsheet Sheets is getting closer to Excel, the number of cells is being doubled

With the quite extensive Google Workspace package, the most important tasks for everyday office life or private use can be done in the browser and without any Microsoft products.

Google Sheets is a very handy tool for anyone who just needs a spreadsheet with simple functions. Many people are at loggerheads with Excel and Google’s application is a bit simpler in my opinion – but of course not nearly as powerful as the supposed role model. Presumably, only very few users will need more than one screen page and if they do, then it will be a maximum of three-digit lines. But there are also power users.

The Sheets developers have now announced that the cell limit has been raised to ten million. Previously it was five million since 2019 and before that, it was only two million. So if you import long series of data or use complex functions, you can now let off steam even more extensively than before. Depending on usage behavior, there are certainly still enough reserves that the Google Sheets team could call up.

And the limit is much higher anyway: According to official information, well over 17 billion cells can be used in Microsoft Excel. Google Sheets still has a lot of catching up to do…
