For the active spreadsheet user, the number of cells in a spreadsheet is never enough.

In 2019, Google increased the number of cells to use in a spreadsheet from 2 million to 5 million. Since that certainly wasn't enough for some, the number of cells in Google Sheets has now doubled to 10 million.

Currently, the following restrictions in Google Sheets are in effect:

• Maximaal 10 miljoen cellen of 18.278 kolommen (tot aan kolom ZZZ) voor spreadsheets die zijn gemaakt in of geconverteerd naar Google Sheets.
• Up to 10 million cells or 18,278 columns for spreadsheets imported from Microsoft Excel. The same limits apply to import files in Excel and CSV format.
• When you convert a document from Excel to Google Sheets, cells that contain more than 50,000 characters are removed from the spreadsheet.
