dear experts,

we know that excel will allow to overwrite the lateral neighbor cell
i was wondering whether this is also possible in vertical direction ?

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Hi Desmond,

normally Excel will allow you to overwrite any cell, unless it is specifically protected, or has Data Validation that isn't being met. Can you give any more information?

-write a text into any cell
-reduce the height of the cell so you cant read it anymore
-the text will be cut off at the bottom of the cell - so you'll see only half of it

-->can it be made that the text will overlap to the cell below ?
