In Excel, how can I show very long text in a single cell?
I'm using WRAP TEXT but the data in the cell is truncated. I can see the
entire entry in the formula window, but not in the cell. |

Try while holding "alt" and touching "Enter". This will place a hard return in the cell and should allow you to see more of your text in the cell. You will probibly want to enter a couple hundred characters then "alt" "enter". You can use several of these if necessary. Play with it until you get it the way you like it.

Add an Alt + Enter for a linefeed every 100 or so characters.
Excel's specs state you can enter 32767 characters in a cell but only 1024 will be visible or can be printed. Adding the linefeeds extends that 1024 limit.
