If > it is too much effort, we should display a message "number is too long, > please expand the column". Being able to display X amount of characters in one column depends on several factors: _ column width _ font type _ font size _ amount of characters to be displayed _ zoom factor _ other attributes of the relevant cell As for the last one, you could select the cell (or the entire column) and go to menu format > cell > alignment > shrink to fit cell size. This is only one of several alternatives. FYI, Excel uses the same exact method, whenever the combination of the aforementioned factors results in not enough physical width. There is no physical way to display any-and-all possible results of an unknown width within a limited column width. You have to modify at least one of the listed elements. The only exception is when the adjacent cell is absolutely blank empty, so the content text "spills" on to the neighboring cell. Now, for future reference, you could first go to ask.libreoffice.org and try to solve your doubts there. In many cases your question would be already answered. A web search could also help (e.g. "Calc ### error" or "Excel ### error" or whatever). There is also help.libreoffice.org . I already closed this report as NAB before, and you re-opened it. I provided more than enough details. I'll leave the report in the same status as you left it, but IMO it should be closed as NOTABUG again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
