Text shows up at all # symbols
I received an Excel file, and for an unknown reason, the text in just one of
the cells displays as all # symbols, even though I can see actual text in the preview screen. All of the other cells in the file display the text normally. Why would this happen and how can I fix it? |

Text shows up at all # symbols
Excel has a problem with text strings between 255 characters and 1024
characters if the cell is formatted as Text. Format to General and your #### should go away.
