So I have a lot of text that I need to have in a cell. I thought having a list box would be a good idea because it allows you to scroll down and helps in keeping the information neat. The problem arises when I try using filters, the list boxes get all over the place.

Does anyone know of a better way to put a lot of text in a cell while keeping it organized?

Thanks!

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)

right-click on the list box, go to Format Control, under Properties tab, try each one of the 3 options there and find what suits you the most..
