Hi,

I am working on an excel tool for the calculation of ship weights using weight ratiocination.
I am trying to show text in a pivot table using the custom number format by applying custom formats like below to a cell in my pivot table.
[=100]"Hull structure, general"
The creation and application of these formats works fine using a macro but in my worksheet I am limited to adding 206 custom formats while i would like to add about 700.
If I try to add an additional format I get the error message "No more custom number formats can be added." I tried it on two different laptops one using Office 365 ProPlus and one using Office Professional Plus 2016

Is there a way to increase the number of custom formats that you can create?

PS. I know that it is possible to add the data to a data model and create a measure with the DAX formula concatenatex to show text in pivot table. But, it is sort of an interactive sheet, as a result it needs to be refreshed frequently and using the data model turned out to increase the refresh time very much.

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.

Thanks for your reply! I did look at that post before but if I understand it correct this is more a solution to get rid of the custom formats in the workbook that are not used. In my case is purposely create these custom formats to display the text and therefore want to keep more than the allowed 206 at the moment.

In that article is clearly explained that the limitation cause is lack of memory, not a limitation as such in Excel.

And in the reference added by Michael (nice pick up):
Excel 2016 is the first version, unlike previous Excel versions, that doesn’t have a custom format limit and won’t freeze or “crash” like previous versions. Earlier Excel versions do have a custom format limit – between 4,000 to 64,000 custom formats – depending upon the Excel version. You can find this limit for your Excel version on the web. It is a good idea to review that documentation for your version to understand your Excel version limitations, if any.

I read that as well, what memory do you think would be the limit?
It also says:
"but you must remember that limitation is theoretical—it is very possible that you will run out of space for custom formats long before you run out of memory."

So there must be some other reason as well I guess? Like I said i tested it on two different computers and different worksheets. Both 32bit and 64bit excel. Both resulted in a maximum of 206 custom formats that can be added.

Thanks for your reply! I read the first one already and took some time to look at the second one just now. The problem isn't the actual adding of the custom formats. I know what I want to do and can achieve that but only for the limited amount of 206 formats. I would like to increase that amount.

I did found something interesting though. In the second link it says:

"Excel 2016 is the first version, unlike previous Excel versions, that doesn’t have a custom format limit and won’t freeze or “crash” like previous versions. Earlier Excel versions do have a custom format limit – between 4,000 to 64,000 custom formats – depending upon the Excel version. You can find this limit for your Excel version on the web. It is a good idea to review that documentation for your version to understand your Excel version limitations, if any."

According to this I should not encounter this limit. So maybe the problem is somewhere else.
I will upload a test_sheet with two macros to create and delete the formats i am trying to make maybe someone can reproduce the problems that I encounter.

Rather than discussing the limitations of custom formats, wouldn't it be more interesting if you told us what it is you are trying to achieve? perhaps a totally different approach is possible.

I hope this post shows in a clear way, first time posting code and excel ranges.
I have created two macros to duplicate the problem in a workbook with two sheets, Sheet1 and Sheet2.
Sheet1 has the first range Iposted below with the two columns. Sheet2 has the second range with only one column which is identical to the first column of sheet A.

The first macro will create a custom number format that will show the text in sheet1 column 2 instead of the actual number and apply the custom number format to the cell on sheet 2.
The second macro can be used to easily delete the custom formats created to avoid deleting them one by one.

VBA Code:
Sub add_custom_format()
'adds a custom format to list of custom formats by using the first two columns in sheet1.
'the custom format is applied to the cell on sheet2
'goal is to convert the number to the corresponding description

last_row_new_ship_weights = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

For jj = 1 To last_row_new_ship_weights

    Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(jj, 1).NumberFormat = "[=" & Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(jj, 1).Value & "]""" & Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(jj, 2).Value & """;"
    
Next jj
End Sub

Sub delete_custom_format()
'uses the same two columns on sheet1 to delete the custom number formats created with the add_custom_format macro

last_row_new_ship_weights = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
On Error Resume Next
For jj = 1 To last_row_new_ship_weights

    ActiveWorkbook.DeleteNumberFormat NumberFormat:="[=" & Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(jj, 1).Value & "]""" & Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(jj, 2).Value & """;"
    
Next jj

End Sub

Rather than discussing the limitations of custom formats, wouldn't it be more interesting if you told us what it is you are trying to achieve? perhaps a totally different approach is possible.

Thank you for joining my thread! I tried to explain it at the start of the topic.
I would like to show text in a pivottable without using the option of adding the data to the data model. See an example of this below. The pivottable is part of a larger tool that has a lot of interaction with the user which asks for a lot of refreshing. The data model turned out to decrease performance to much.
I found out I could do it by applying custom number formats to the cells since I have the relation between the number in the pivot table row to the right and the description i want to show. But i can't add all the relations, only up to 206.
Does this make it more clear? Please let me know if there is anything else to make the problem more clear.
