Excel will not show all text entered in a Cell merged from 9 rows
 

I have tried to autofit and format cell, but nothing works. I have to
manually drag the cell border to make it longer.

Hi Pat,

Have you Also Tried Wrap Text.

All the Best.
Paul

Yes, that was the first thing.

Autofitting rowheight and merged cells don't play nice.

Jim Rech wrote a macro called AutoFitMergedCellRowHeight that you may like:

I ran your macro and it doesn't do anything. Should I be blocking something
out?

This portion of Jim's code does some checking:

If ActiveCell.MergeCells Then
With ActiveCell.MergeArea
If .Rows.Count = 1 And .WrapText = True Then

Is your activecell part of a merged area?
Is that mergearea a single row?
Do you have wraptext turned on?
