Text in excel

How can you get the row to expand as you write text?

RE: text in excel

Dear Katherine

Thank you for attending Excel Intermediate course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

This is not possible to do from the existing settings and options. In Word Table you are allowed to do this but in Excel when you enter data in cells you can adjust the column width by taking your mouse on the right hand side of the grey area of the column heading. In Word table you can adjust the width of your column from any of the cells.

I am not sure but there may be a way of doing this by VBA method where you will require knowledge and experience of VBA Programming.

I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards

Excel tip:

Conditional Formatting in Excel 2010

If you have lots of data in a spreadsheet, you may find that it is easier to read if you highlight some of the values. This is Conditional Formatting and here's how to use it:

1) Select the data you wish to apply the format to and click Conditional Formatting
2) A list of options will then appear, from this list, choose the format you wish to display e.g. find all cells with a value less than 0
3) Excel will then highlight all of these cells

To remove this: select the highlighted cells, click the drop down on the Conditional Formatting icon and select Clear Rules from selected cells.
