Hii,

I have one list of project Credit Application, its column exceeds above 300 so now i can’t create any more new columns in it. Does anybody know how much is the exact limitation of creating columns in custom list of Sharepoint on premise? 
If it exceeded, what will be the best solution to resolve this?

Hi @Sidra 

Both SharePoint on-Prem and SharePoint Online have a limitation of 8,000 bytes per row.
Different column types have sizes. 
Google for “SharePoint 2019 Limitations Column Limit”

Limit Maximum # columns Size per column
Single line of text 255 30 bytes
Multiple Lines of Text 350 22 bytes
Choice 255 30 bytes
Choice (multiple selection) 350 22 bytes
Number 550 14 bytes
Currency 550 14 bytes
Date and Time 55 14 bytes
Lookup 750 10 bytes

 

Try to reduce the number of columns.
