What is the **maximum number of characters** that can be accommodated in a single column in MS Excel 2003?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. In MS Excel 2003, the maximum width of a column is limited to **255 characters**. This means a column can display up to 255 characters in width.

2. Although a single cell can hold up to 32,767 characters, only 1,024 characters are visible within the cell itself; the rest can be seen in the formula bar.

3. The other options given (512, 65,536, and 1,064 characters) do not correspond to the column width limit but may relate to other Excel constraints such as rows or formula length.

**Answer:** 255 characters
