    wrap text alternative for long text strings

    Hello,

    I am creating a report in excel which has large strings of text in certain cells (that are imported from a master spreadsheet via macro) which are longer than the maximum for the wrap text function. (And by the way the cells are merged in case that makes a difference)

    Does anyone know of an alternative way to make sure all the text is visible other than by breaking the text up into smaller blocks in several cells?

    Many thanks,

    Welcome to the forum.

    Excel will only display a max of about 1k characters in a cell. Also, Excel will not autofit the row height for text in merged cells.
