Data points in a data series 32,000

Most users never find these limitations to be a problem. However, one item that
frequently
does cause problems is the limit on the length of the SERIES formula. Each
argument is limited to 255 characters, and in some situations, that’s simply not enough
characters. Refer to Chapter 3 for more information about SERIES formulas.
