# 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.
