I thought I would gather some information on the limitations of calculated columns and nested if statements in different SharePoint versions. This is just meant to act as a really basic limitations cheat sheet which I’ll update if I find out anything new.
Nested IF Limitations by SP Version
SharePoint 2007 & 2010
- Limit of 7 nested if statements
SharePoint 2013
- Limit of 39 nested if statements
- Workaround – Presumably the workaround I linked to above should work, however I’d suggest against going close to this limit normally.
Calculated Column Limitations
SharePoint 2007 & 2010
- 1024 Character Limit
- 48 Calculated Columns per list max.
- Cannot access value of following fields –
- [Today]
- Any lookup fields
SharePoint 2013
- 1,073,741,823 character limit
- 48 Calculated Columns per list max.
- Cannot access value of following fields –
- [Today]
- Any lookup fields
Awesome post Thanks for sharing.
