It works just as any other formula would. As long as the formula is 1024 characters or less you’re good. Greater than 1024 and you get a “formula too long” error.

In this case you need to get creative and break the formula up to multiple cells, or reference the long parts of the formula from other cells instead of repeating the parts with many characters.

For instance putting
=REPT(” “,10) in cell A2 and referencing the cell A2 every time saves 12? characters each time you reference it.

I didn’t test it for 200, but it might look like this:
=A1&A2&B1&A2&C1&A2&D1…….
