What should I know about Excel and character count?

Answer by  abans (43)

Maximum number of characters in a cell is 32,767. In versions before 2007, only the first 1024 of these would be shown. This made it look like the characters were missing. The solution is to use a text box instead of data in the cell or embed a Word document.
