打开窗口后，请确保您位于“ 设置” ^(Settings )选项卡中。如果是这样，请展开 允许 ^(Allow )下拉列表，然后选择 文本长度^{(Text length)}。然后，从数据 ^(Data )列表中选择限制条件 。

接下来，您必须根据您的数据^(Data)选择输入字符限制。完成后，单击“ 确定 ^(OK )”按钮。

从现在开始，每当您未能遵守特定单元格中的限制时，它都会向您显示错误消息。

如何在Excel Online中添加字符限制^{(Excel Online)}

要在Excel Online^{(Excel Online)}中添加字符限制，请按照以下步骤操作 -

1. 在 Excel Online 中打开电子表格。
2. 切换到数据^(Data)选项卡。
3. 单击数据验证^{(Data Validation)}选项。
4. 从允许^(Allow)列表中选择文本长度。^{(Text Length)}

最后，单击 OK 按钮保存更改。为了您的信息，您可以显示输入消息^{(Input Message)}和错误警报^{(Error Alert)}。每当有人尝试在所选单元格中输入值或输入错误值时，它们就会出现。为此，请切换到 输入消息 ^{(Input Message )}或 错误警报 ^{(Error Alert )}选项卡，然后输入要显示的所需消息。

如何限制Google表格中的字符

要在Google 表格^{(Google Sheets)}中添加字符限制，请按照以下步骤操作 -

6. 展开Criteria下拉列表并选择Custom formula is option。
7. Enter =regexmatch (A3&””,”^(.){1,5}$”)。
8. 选择显示警告^{(Show warning)}选项。
9. 单击保存^(Save)按钮。

让我们看看这些步骤的详细版本。

首先，在Google 表格^{(Google Sheets)}中打开一个电子表格，然后选择一个要添加过滤器的单元格。之后，单击 顶部菜单栏中的数据选项，然后从列表中选择 数据 ^(Data )验证选项。 ^{(Data validation )}

打开后，选择一个 单元格范围^{(Cell range)}。如果是一个单元格，则无需更改任何内容。然后，展开 Criteria 下拉列表，并选择 Custom formula is 选项。

接下来，您必须在相应的框中输入以下公式 -

=regexmatch(A1&"","^(.){1,6}$")

在进行下一步之前，需要根据您的要求更改两件事。首先^(First)，  A1 代表细胞数。其次^(Second)，  1,6 定义了字符限制。如果您设置与此处提到的相同的内容，它将执行以下操作 - 用户不能在 A1 单元格中添加任何超过 6 的值。

与Excel和Excel Online一样，您可以显示警告或信息文本。为此，请选中 显示验证帮助文本 ^{(Show validation help text )}框，然后输入文本。除此之外，您可以直接拒绝该值。为此，请选择 拒绝输入 ^{(Reject input )}而不是 显示警告^{(Show warning)} 选项。

最后，单击“ 保存 ^(Save )”按钮保存更改。

就这样！希望能帮助到你。

If you want to add a character limit in Excel and Google Sheets, then this article will help you. You can also show an error or alert message as well. Whether you are using the Word desktop app or Excel Online, you can do the same with this tutorial.

Let’s assume that you want to share a spreadsheet with your team members, but you do not wish to allow them to enter a value more than a specific number. In other words, you want to set a character limit so that you can limit users from entering a value that goes through the preset filter. While it is easy to show an error or alert message in Excel, in this guide we will set the character limit in all the common apps that you use to edit a spreadsheet.

How to set a Character limit in Excel

To add a character limit in Excel, follow these steps-

1. Open a spreadsheet and select a cell.
2. Go to the Data tab.

At first, you will have to open a spreadsheet in Excel and select a cell. Then, go to the Data tab and expand the Data Validation drop-down list. Here you will find an option called Data Validation. Click on it.

Once the window is opened, make sure that you are in the Settings tab. If so, expand the Allow drop-down list, and select Text length. Following that, select limitation criteria from the Data list.

Next, you will have to enter a character limit as per your Data selection. Once done, click on the OK button.

From now onward, whenever you fail to comply with the limit in the specific cell, it will show you an error message.

How to limit Characters in Google Sheets

To add a character limit in Google Sheets, follow these steps-

1. Open a spreadsheet in Google Sheets.
2. Select a cell.
3. Click on Data in the menu bar.
4. Select Data validation from the list.
5. Select the Cell range.

Let’s check out the detailed version of these steps.

At first, open a spreadsheet in Google Sheets and select a cell where you want to add the filter. Following that, click on the Data option in the top menu bar and choose the Data validation option from the list.

Once it is opened, select a Cell range. If it is one cell, nothing is mandatory to change. Then, expand the Criteria drop-down list, and choose the Custom formula is option.

Next, you will have to enter the following formula in the corresponding box-

=regexmatch(A1&"","^(.){1,6}$")

Before going to the next step, it is required to change two things according to your requirement. First, A1 represents the cell number. Second, 1,6 defines the character limit. If you set the same thing as mentioned here, it will do the following- users cannot add any value more than 6 in the A1 cell.

Like Excel and Excel Online, you can show a warning or information text. For that, check the Show validation help text box, and enter a text. Apart from that, you can reject the value directly. For that, select Reject input instead of the Show warning option.

At last, click the Save button to save the change.

That’s all! Hope it helps.
