Generally this means the cell is too narrow to display the stored entry
But merged cells have their own problems

In my excel spreadsheet there is are merged cells that I input text into
each
month. Some seem to work fine, however others display a single line of
###########
instead of my actual text.

Why does this happen, and how can I fix it?

Thanks.
