Excel Trick Expand Excel Column Width Fit To The Longest Data Entered.

In Excel worksheet, the active cells with the data entered (numbers, letters, symbols, etc.) inside. Those scattered data entries, which are added and contained to cells, may have variety of length. The data in each cell that is narrower or wider than the typical columns width.

If you want to expand the column width (AutoFit Column Width), equal the longest data in the cells of all columns in the worksheet. I have a trick. Let us explore it together.

For example, see the image below:

Notice that in all the columns between A and D contain with some different data entered. However, we will not see all the text inside these cells. Because, the column widths in this worksheet are set to the standard length.


Therefore, if you want to see all the text, data entered, in each cell and every column as well. That means you must expand the width of all columns fit to the longest text that will cut off if the cells to the right contain data.


According to the above imply, hereafter the method to help you to deal with it.
  • Hover your mouse over the top left corner of the worksheet "Select all the cells" and click on it.
  • Then, hover your mouse to the area of the above vertical line of any column, to push the button on your mouse twice quickly (Double-clicking).

When the process is completed. You will have the column widths fit the length of the longest text as the example with picture shown the message that said "Can you extend some space for me fit the longest line in this column?”
