OK. Here are the data properties.
These are search results in software application.
They can contain one to hundreds entries.
The presentation has to facilitate data comparison. Sorting might help here.

Sorry for arriving so late to the discussion.
Oleh, I am a little puzzled about your need to display more than one
value in a cell. There are several ways to display data, with their
own properties that can fit or not the needs. One of datagrid's
properties is, precisely, that one cell equals one
Hello, IxDers,
I need to indicate that specific cell in a read-only datagrid contains not
one, but multiple values. Putting the cell in focus would reveal the values
in it.
The project team have suggested displaying Multiple... link in the cell.
Clicking the link would open a popup showing the

If the number of data elements in the list is limited to 5 /- 2 then
you might be able to show them all inline - with line breaks in the
cell. It's easier to be able to see all the values at once.
Another option could be a tool-tip rollover that showed the rest of
the values. One thing to keep
You have the right idea, and I like Jennifer's idea of the down

You might also consider these:

I have considered displaying [+] only, but this is not as informative as

Hovers are not very efficient, too transient, and prevent copying data (if
needed).
