Is it possible (without coding) to automatically modify the row height in Excel?

I am looking to see if it is possible to automatically get Excel to adjust the row hieght in cells depending on the text that is in it.

The issue I have is that if a cell has a lot of text in it the text rolls off the bottom and is not visible.

I Know you can manually click to expand the row height, but is it possible for something to be set to adjust automatically ?

Thanks

    As Mr. Baklan already informed you, with wrap text you can manage the line break.

     

    Here is additional information:

    Microsoft Link: Wrap text in a cell

     

    VBA:

     

    Sub wrap()
      With Range("B9")
        .Value = Replace(.Value, ";", vbLf)
        .Value = Replace(.Value, vbLf & " ", vbLf)
        .EntireRow.AutoFit
      End With
    End Sub

     

     

    In composite cells it is not possible to have the row height or width determined automatically.

    If you want to wrap text in merged cells, you have to do it differently.

    If so, please let me know to show the way.

        You have asked the same question in four different discussions. That leads to confusion and duplication.

        I am pleased that you have received the proposed solution from MR. Baklan helped.

        I added only the steps.

         

        I wish you continued success with Excel.
