weird cell behaviour with multiple lines in cell with restricted height

[sijpie]

I am working on a workbook for someone. The workbook is to schedule people in a duty roster. As the number of names is large, there is a big possibility of two or more people with the same name. That is why I want to store the ID number in the cell with the name.

For clarity on the screen I have opted to separate the name and the ID number by a vbLF (Ascii 10) so they appear as a muliti line in the cell. But then I set the cell height to just show the name, the ID number is then invisible. But in my VBA code I can still extract it.

The strange thing now is that on my PC (and on someone other's PC, just for testing) this works like intended, but on the PC of the person who I am building this for, the names don't show, only the 2nd line, the IDs.

See the two images:

Anyone encountered this before and knows the cause?

Try amending VERTICAL text alignment setting

Select relevant cells \ right-click \ Format Cells \ Alignment \ ...
set VERTICAL= Top (1st row visible)
OR
set VERTICAL = Bottom (2nd row visible)

Hi Yongle, on my PC that doesn't make much difference, but on the PC concerned it did the trick. Thanks

thanks for the feedback, glad it sorted things for the other user
