When do you use Google sheets? When you have to manage text. It is best used when you have a list of texts to add and to manage other detailed descriptions.
Ever happened while working in the Google spreadsheet, you entered more data than a cell space? Many times. In this case, cells get overlapped and sometimes get truncated. This can be problematic and making it difficult to navigate. What to do in this case? That’s when the wrap text feature of the Google sheet becomes your friend. The wrapping feature automatically sets the cell and changes its height to show the text. It displays multiple lines within the cell.
