Excel Mobile view Dropdown list issue
Hello,
We have a Worksheet with Dropdown lists, while it looks perfect in Excel Desktop, when using on a tablet and choose the dropdown, the names in the list are truncated which makes it hard to pick a choice.
We need the Staff to see the full words.
See screenshot please.
Any ideas?

- JKPieterseSilver ContributorCan you perhaps share a dumbed down version of the file and tell us on which type of device this behavior occurs and in what app (Excel app or Excel on-line in a browser, other)?

I just spoke to Microsoft and it appears it is a bug. A very annoying bug to say the least. Works in Office Online, just not excel for mobile app. Most of our Staff use this spreadsheet offline so its hurting us.
Least I know now 🙂

I am using latest version of Excel for Mobile, tested on both IOS and Android tablets. Opening the file using Excel APP.
Please see attached test spreadsheet, this shows the same behavior as our main spreadsheet. I have tried everything and cannot get it to show full text in dropdown.
- JKPieterseSilver ContributorYes I see what you mean. Unfortunately I don't know a workaround either (and I'm not that familiar with Mobile Excel TBH). I'll send feedback to the MSFT team about this.
