It means the cell is not wide enough to display the contents.
Enlarge it by moving your cursor onto the right border in the header area ("A","B" etc)
until it changes shape (a vertical bar with arrows pointing left & right) and either left
click/hold and drag the border to the left or double click it-which will enlarge the
column to display the longest value in the column.
