Hello Raj,
The overall answer to your query is "No".
Excel is not meant to be used as a database (more for calculations than anything else) and I would suspect that you are importing data from some external source into Excel. The cell limit of 32,767 characters is by design and is "not negotiable". There are work-arounds but these could do more harm than good and would be difficult to use and the time spent on trying work-arounds would be better spent on setting up/using actual database applications such as Access.
Consider that Excel holds in excess of 17 billion cells and then consider there are 30,000plus characters per cell, then consider the size of your workbook.
You'll find Excel specifications and limits here:-

You should seriously consider a more suitable database application.
I hope that this helps.
Cheerio,
vcoolio.
