Why is my cell text not appearing?
My text cell shows "####" and I suspect I've exceeded the 255 character
limit. Is there another cause? If so, is there a way to remedy it? |

Text cells typically do not show the "####".
somew more info please as in what version of Excel are you running and what would you expect it to show. "Mister PM" wrote: My text cell shows "####" and I suspect I've exceeded the 255 character limit. Is there another cause? If so, is there a way to remedy it? |

If it's text, try changing the format of that cell to General.
Long text (255 characters to 1024 characters) in cells formatted as Text will show as ####'s. Mister PM wrote: My text cell shows "####" and I suspect I've exceeded the 255 character limit. Is there another cause? If so, is there a way to remedy it? -- Dave Peterson |
