+# Hide Overflowing Text For Google Sheets Column
+
+I imported a big CSV into a new Google Sheets document. This included a
+"Description" column with many of the descriptions varying between 50 and 80
+characters. The bottom line is that the description column was flowing over the
+top of the columns next to it. Instead of expanding the width of that column as
+far as the largest description, I wanted to hide the _overflow_.
+
+The way to do this in Google Sheets is to highlight the entire column by
+clicking on the column grouping. Then under the _Format_ menu item is a
+_Wrapping_ submenu. The _Clip_ option is what I was looking for because it clips
+the text that gets shown at the edge of the column.
