Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to makea grid area where every cell is the same size,

I have 500 cells and keep finding when I resize some text in some cells is missing

is there a macro I could run that would tell me which cell has the longest amount of text?

Thanks

Tony
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Try:
Code:
Sub FindLength()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim rng As Range, cnt As Long, sAddr As String
    For Each rng In Range("[COLOR="#FF0000"]A1:J50[/COLOR]")
        If Len(rng) > cnt Then
            cnt = Len(rng)
            sAddr = rng.Address(0, 0)
        End If
    Next rng
    MsgBox ("The longest text is in cell " & sAddr)
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Change the range (in red) to suit your needs.
