    Exclamation Preserving Row height when sorting ??

    One of the rows got more height than others to capture all words. However, when excel report is sorted by any other field, I loose the extended row height for that row/cell & gets applied to another row/cell. How can I keep/preserve row height no matter sorting occurs??? Please very simple attached sample. Thanks in advance

    Hello elfiky,

    Why don't you just format all the Cells to wrap text? Highlight the entire range, select format cells and follow the steps provided.

    I did & it didn't work...Sorting by a different field messed it up. Check it yourself

    First, select the entire sheet, then Format>Autofit row height
    Then select column C and Format Cell> Wrap Text
    Then try sorting by column B
    Worked fine for me.

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires
