You can use wrap text but don't set the row to "autofit"

i.e. set it to a fixed height

Probably this question was asked before but I couldn’t find the answer
in the forum so I will ask it again.
Usually when I enter data it looks like this:

Coulum1 Column2
Data Short
Data entered long

Is there any option to tell excel to stop showing the data at the end
of the cell instead of spilling it to the next empty one.
I know about “wrap the text” option but this adds up on the row
height.

Thanks for you help
