Bummer - that's the answer I was afraid of. &nbsp;This is just a small section of a much more expansive spreadsheet, so I don't have the option to expand the columns any wider, on top of which the result will occasionally be much longer. &nbsp;If I pursue this project further, I may just have to delete the formula from adjacent cells, but this would end being extra work for others when manipulating the sheet.<br />

Thanks for the confirmation, Thomas!

Example spreadsheet with formula results that are cut off

Test.xlsx

I am working on the attached spreadsheet which includes the same formula in cells I2:P2.  When there are no values in the cells below, the formula is set to output a blank.  Is there a way for the display of a cell's results to span across over adjacent cells with null output to the right?  In other words, can I get J2 to look like J10 (achieved by deleting the formulas in K10 and L10)?  Deleting the formulas is less than ideal, and merging cells is not an option, nor would be resizing the cell / enabling word wrap.

Thanks in advance!

Excel - Display Formula Result Beyond Cell Boundary

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application program for organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets developed as computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets. The program operates on data represented as cells of an array, organized in rows and columns. Each cell of the array may contain either numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate and display a value based on the contents of other cells.

Spreadsheets

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.
