Auto-adjust cell height to accommodate contained text.
Some cells contain text that is concatenated from several cell references.
How do I automatically adjust the cell height to accommodate the resulting content? |

Auto-adjust cell height to accommodate contained text.
Select all (ALT+A) and double click on the boundary between 2 rows.
This will autoadjust all rows to appropriate height. After that, it should autoadjust after each change made. - Search "PETBerkeley" wrote: Some cells contain text that is concatenated from several cell references.

Auto-adjust cell height to accommodate contained text.
I tried this (with Ctrl+A) and it did not work. Thanks anyway.

Auto-adjust cell height to accommodate contained text.
By "automatically adjust row height"...do you mean that you want the text to
wrap so instead of making the column size bigger you make it use more row space? If so, turn on text wrapping. Highlight affected cells (or all of them if you wish) and right click and go to format cells. On the Alignment tab, click the checkbox for wrap text. Any text that goes farther than the column width will bump to the next line, expanding the row. "PETBerkeley" wrote: I tried this (with Ctrl+A) and it did not work. Thanks anyway.

Auto-adjust cell height to accommodate contained text.
Yes, I want to add cell height to accommodate variable text length. Again
thanks but this suggestion did not affect the text at all. Rows remained either too large (vertically) or too small. I suspect that at least my version of Excel (Basic 2003) is incapable of automatically adjiusting row height in merged cells - it has to be done manually cell by cell. Thanks to all who replied.
