Hi, I'm tidying up some files to make them look a bit more presentable & sometimes the row height is "huge" due to the "wrap text" and the "auto fit" row height.

Is there a way to find which of the cells is driving the height of the row to be so large?

At the moment, I have to scroll across trying to scan for which one the culprit probably is.......... Not a problem on tiny files like in the example below. But on bigger files, it's taking me ages to do this over and over ⌛⌛⌛ (n)(n)

(I'd then look at editing the text or the formatting of the cells to make it look a bit more "presentable")
