How to Make Google Sheets Cell Automatically Expand with Text?

You can make a Google Sheets cell automatically expand with text by using the "Wrap Text" feature. This feature allows the text to wrap to the next line within the cell's boundaries, preventing the text from overflowing.

Here's how to do it:

1. Select the cell(s) you want to adjust.
2. Right-click on the selected cell(s).
3. Select "Format cells..." from the context menu.
4. In the "Alignment" tab, check the box next to "Wrap text".
5. Click "Apply" and then "OK".

Now, the text in the selected cell(s) will automatically wrap to the next line as you type, ensuring that all the text remains visible within the cell.

Example:

Let's say you have a cell containing the following text:

This is a very long sentence that will not fit in the cell without wrapping.

If you apply the "Wrap text" feature, the text will automatically wrap to the next line like this:

This is a very long sentence that will not fit in the cell without wrapping.

Practical Insights:

• You can also adjust the width of the column to accommodate the wrapped text if needed.
• The "Wrap text" feature is helpful for displaying long text strings, addresses, or descriptions within a cell without needing to manually adjust the cell's size.
