limiting string size in data grid format specifier for column

Hi just wondering how to limit the string size for a data grid column, can
this be done from the properties box, data formatting expression? If so what
would be the expression to limit it to 20 characters? thanks.

I could not find a format statement to do this so ended up reading in the
data grid cell for each row, limiting the size and writing it back out.
