A cell can hold up to 32,767 characters, of which only 1024 can be seen in the cell. Than cannot be changed. All of the characters can be seen in the Formula Bar. What you can do is set a minimum and maximum amount of characters that can be inputted, by using the text option in the Data Validation facility.
