Sheet and imported items size limits
A sheet can't exceed a total of 500,000 cells—that is, when multiplied together, the number of rows and columns in your sheet can't exceed this number.
Imported items have the same restrictions and can't exceed 50 MB.
The following table includes more information about maximum values.
| Sheet Component | Maximum |
|---|---|
| Rows | 20,000 |
| Columns | 400 |
| Cells | 500,000 |
| Inbound Cell Links | 20,000 |
| Unique cells referenced in cross-sheet formulas | 100,000 |
Sheet maximums
- Rows: 20,000
- Columns: 400
- Cells: 500,000
To determine how close you are to the 500,000 cell limit, multiply the number of columns in your sheet by the number of rows. For example, a sheet with 20,000 rows can only have 25 or fewer columns, and a sheet with 400 columns can only have 1,250 or fewer rows.
The Chrome browser offers the best results for working with sheets with over 5,000 rows.
Smartsheet Gov security
Smartsheet Gov is designed to meet the FedRAMP Moderate baseline—a standardized set of security requirements by the U.S. government for cloud services—and will have a Provisional Authority to Operate (P-ATO) from the Joint Authorization Board (JAB).
Smartsheet Gov supports the Single Sign-On (SSO) sign-in option. When you configure Smartsheet Gov, you must use a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) SSO solution (for example, Google Authenticator) to maintain compliance with FedRAMP requirements.
Smartsheet Gov only supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2.
Smartsheet Gov capabilities
Smartsheet Gov offers the same level of core functionality as Smartsheet. However, specific capabilities and integrations aren't supported yet on Smartsheet Gov.
Smartsheet Gov updates follow those of the commercial version of Smartsheet. As a new capability is released in the commercial Smartsheet environment, it may later become available in Smartsheet Gov.
For a comprehensive list of differences between a Smartsheet Gov plan and a standard Smartsheet Enterprise plan, see differences between Smartsheet Gov and Commercial.
Smartsheet Gov sharing
You can share Smartsheet items (sheets, reports, dashboards) with others with a Smartsheet Gov login. A Smartsheet Gov login is required to access Gov items.
By design, you can't directly share Smartsheet items between a Smartsheet Gov account and a standard commercial Smartsheet account.
Depending on the security settings imposed by your organization’s Smartsheet Gov account, you may be able to share Smartsheet items with others with Smartsheet Gov accounts and collaborators. Anyone shared to an item that doesn’t have a Smartsheet Gov account (has not established a login) must create an account to access the items shared with them.
Access to the Smartsheet Community
Gov customers can use their Smartsheet credentials to sign in to the Smartsheet Community site.
On the Gov page, you can connect with peers across Federal, State, and Local government to share questions, ideas, and best practices.
Support hours
Smartsheet Gov customer support is available from 6 am to 6 pm Pacific Time, Monday through Friday.
