Summary

You can fit a lot of data into a Google Sheets spreadsheet, but formatting is crucial to parsing it. To prevent text from overflowing into neighboring cells, you can use the Text wrapping icon in the toolbar and select the Wrap icon. This feature takes any text that reaches the end of the cell width and drops it to the next line. If the wrapped text looks squished or breaks at an awkward spot, expanding the cell width by clicking and dragging the gray bar on either side of your column's letter header can fix this. Additionally, you can automate Google Sheets using Zapier to connect with other apps, creating workflows such as creating Trello cards from new or updated rows, Asana tasks, or adding new labeled Gmail emails to rows in Google Sheets.
