Inconsistent “Wrap Text” Behavior Between Excel Desktop and Excel Web
We’ve observed inconsistent behavior with the “Wrap Text” format across different Excel environments (Windows Desktop vs. Web). Steps to Reproduce: Create or open an Excel file. Enter multi-line text in several cells and enable Wrap Text. Save the file locally. Upload it to OneDrive or open it in Excel for Web. Observe the displayed cell content without resizing the columns or reapplying formatting. Observed Behavior: On Excel for Windows (Desktop) → Wrapped text displays correctly. On Excel for Mac (Desktop) → Wrapped text displays correctly. On Excel for Web → Text may not wrap properly by default, requiring manual reapplication of “Wrap Text.” Expected Behavior: Cell content formatted with Wrap Text should display consistently across all Excel platforms (Windows, Mac, and Web) without requiring manual adjustment or reapplication.

In column S of Sheet 1 I have a list of case numbers. They all start with the year that the incident occurred &, followed by the incident number. On Sheet 2, I want to be able to quickly determine if any numbers in the sequence have been skipped. For instance, 2024-033, 2025-001, 2025-003, etc. There are never a set number of cases per year, so it wouldn't matter whether there should've been a 2024-034 after #33, but I would need to be able to readily see that 2025-002 was never input. If it matters, each year begins with '001' and not '000' and I'm working with Excel 2016.mbnottingham428Oct 10, 2025Copper Contributor97Views0likes5CommentsConditional Formatting
Hello, I am developing a conditional formatting rule that allows me to enter a specific text value, and if it matches the content of another cell, that cell will be highlighted in green. However, instead of highlighting only the matching cell, the entire selected range is being highlighted each time I enter a text value.LastRezOct 10, 2025Occasional Reader3Views0likes0CommentsHow to filter visible cells by formula after applying filter to a dataset.
I have a dataset from A1:B11 (in real case many more). I apply a filter on dataset, for example filter data for Retailer1 and Retailer3. I want on a separate sheet to filter these visible cells using formula (not VBA). Preferably using a generic LAMBDA function like =FILTERVISIBLE(A2:B11). Any thought or idea to achieve it?SolvedHarun24HROct 10, 2025Bronze Contributor61Views0likes6CommentsHow to create a formula

Delete cells with exactly three syllables
I'm not sure if this is too specific a command to use in Excel, but I have a column in which I want to delete all cells in that column with exactly 3 syllables in them. Is this even possible?SolvedRahirosOct 10, 2025Copper Contributor135Views0likes11CommentsExcel Columns width and heights measured in pixels instead of inches
I want the Columns width and heights measured in inches instead of pixels. I have contacted Microsoft Support 3 times concerning this and even purchased an update to 2021 Office on 5/18/2023. I have gone on line and followed all the instructions, nothing works. In Excel Options > Advanced > Ruler units drop down is set to Inches. This has to be a concern with other users as well.SolvedKimCCalvertOct 09, 2025Copper Contributor19KViews0likes8Comments
