How to view the contents of a cell which displays ###

Even if the content of a cell is too big for it to be displayed in a single cell, the cell keeps its default height and width. If it contains a number, the number is replaced by ###.

You can:

• Go to the head of the column and drag one of the edges of the column until the width is sufficient (or double-click on the edge to adjust it automatically) allowing a correct display.
• Double-click on any cell that contains text together with a little red triangle in the corner of the cell to signal that the content exceeds the display.
