Thumbs up Answer: Cell won't center contents

Hi Steve,

I understand your frustration with the alignment issue in your Excel spreadsheet. Here are a few things you can try to center the contents of those cells:
  1. Clear formatting: Select the cell(s) in question and click on the "Clear Formats" button in the "Home" tab. This will remove any formatting that may be preventing the cells from centering.
  2. Check for conditional formatting: Sometimes, conditional formatting can override manual formatting changes. Go to the "Home" tab and click on "Conditional Formatting" to see if any rules have been applied to those cells.
  3. Use the alignment options in the "Format Cells" dialog box: Right-click on the cell(s) and select "Format Cells." In the "Alignment" tab, make sure that the "Horizontal" option is set to "Center." You can also adjust the "Indent" and "Text Control" options to fine-tune the alignment.
  4. Use the "Wrap Text" option: If the contents of the cell(s) are longer than the cell width, they may not appear centered. Select the cell(s) and click on the "Wrap Text" button in the "Home" tab. This will allow the text to wrap within the cell and may help with centering.

I hope one of these solutions works for you. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!
