Google Sheets Maximum Cell Count

The maximum cell count for Google Sheets is 5 million cells. When our Google Sheets integration detects over 4.75 million cells, it appends a number to the spreadsheet name and creates a new one.

For example, a spreadsheet called My Data would have appended spreadsheets that look like My Data_1, My Data_2, My Data_3, and so on.
