Wrap cell in excel vba

Home / VBA / VBA Wrap Text (Cell, Range, and Entire Worksheet)

In VBA, there is a property called “WrapText” that you can access to apply wrap text to a cell or a range of cells. You need to write code to turn it ON or OFF. It’s a read and writes property, so you can apply it, or you can also get it if it’s applied on a cell.

In this tutorial, we will look at different ways of applying wrap text using a VBA code.

Wrap Text to a Cell using VBA

Use the following steps to apply Wrap Text using a VBA Code.

  1. Define the cell where you want to apply the wrap text using the range property.
  2. Type a dot to see the list of the properties and methods for that cell.
  3. Select the “WrapText” property from the list.
  4. Enter the equals sign “=” and type TRUE to turn on the wrap text.
Sub vba_wrap_text()
  Range("A1").WrapText = True
End Sub

You can also specify a cell using the following way.

Cells(1, 1).WrapText = True

Wrap Text to a Range of Cells

And if you want to apply wrap text to an entire range then you need to specify the range instead of a single cell.

Range("A1:A5").WrapText = True

You can also apply it to the used range (selection of the worksheet where you have entered data) by using the “UsedRange” property.

Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.WrapText = True
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.WrapText = True

In the above code’s first line, you have specified the worksheet and then the “UsedProperty” to wrap the text. In the second line, you have the active sheet’s used range. But both lines work in the same way.

Here are a few more examples that you need to know:

  • Non-continues cells
  • Entire Row
  • Entire Column
  • Named Range
Range("A1:A10,C1:C10").WrapText = True
Range("A:A").WrapText = True
Range("1:1").WrapText = True
Range("myRange").WrapText = True

To refer to the entire worksheet you need to use the Cells property as you have in the following code.

Cells.WrapText = True
Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells.WrapText = True

The first line of code refers to the active sheet and the second line to the worksheet “Sheet1”. You can also use a loop using FOR EACH (For Next) to loop through all the worksheets of the workbook and apply the wrap text on all the cells.

Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
   Cells.WrapText = True
Next ws

In the above code, you have “ws” as a variable and then For Each Loop loops through all the worksheets from the workbook and applies to wrap text to the entire worksheet using Cells.

Turn OFF WrapText

As you have seen you need to turn on the WrapText property, and in the same way you can turn it off by using add declaring FALSE.

Range("A1").WrapText = False

Note: There’s one thing you need to understand if you have a value in a cell and the width of the cells is enough to store that value, then even if you apply wrap text, Excel won’t shift the content to the next line.

    In this tutorial, you will learn about how to enable or disable Wrap Text in Excel using VBA.

    Wrapping Text using VBA

    You wrap the text in a cell or range by setting the Range.WrapText Property of the Range object to True. The following code will wrap the text in cell A1:

    Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").WrapText = True

    The result is:

    Wrapping Text in VBA

    You can Wrap a larger range of cells as well:

    Range("A1:A10").WrapText = True

    Disabling Wrapping in a Cell using VBA

    You can disable text wrapping in a certain cell or range using VBA. The following code will disable text wrapping in cell B2:

    Range("B2").WrapText = False

    Disabling Wrapping in An Entire Worksheet

    You can disable text wrapping in all the cells on a worksheet using VBA. The following code will allow you to disable text wrapping in all the cells in the ActiveSheet:

    Sub DisableWrapText ()
    
        Cells.WrapText = False
    
    End Sub

    • Example 1, Set Wrap Text Property
    • Example 2, Get Wrap Text Property

    You can download the file and code related to this article here.


    Basics, .WrapText:

    The following code applies the wrap text formatting to cell A1:

    Range("A1").WrapText = True

    Before:

    Text Wrap Before Excel VBA

    After:

    Text Wrap After Excel VBA

    The following code removes the wrap text formatting from cell A1:

    Range("A1").WrapText = False


    Example 1, Set Wrap Text Property:

    In this example there is text in row 2. There are drop down lists in row 1 where the user selects whether to apply the wrap text formatting or not. For more information about drop down lists in Excel please see Excel VBA Drop Down Lists:

    Excel VBA, Wrap Text
    After selecting “No” from the drop down list the wrap text property of cell F2 is set off:

    Excel VBA, Wrap Text No
    The Yes/No values in the drop down list are stored in sheet 2:

    Excel  VBA, YesNo
    The program uses a Worksheet_Change event handler. The event handler executes whenever the user selects a new value from the drop down lists:

    'executes when drop down list values change
    Private Sub worksheet_change(ByVal target As Range)
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To 6
        If Cells(1, i) = "Yes" Then
            'sets the text wrap property to true
            Range(Cells(2, i), Cells(2, i)).WrapText = True
        Else
            'sets the text wrap property to false
            Range(Cells(2, i), Cells(2, i)).WrapText = False
        End If
    Next i
    End Sub


    Example 2, Get Wrap Text Property:

    In the following example similar to Example 1, there are text values in row 2. When the user presses the run button the program searches the cells in row 2. The cells above the cells with the wrap text formatting will be colored green:

    Excel VBA Get Wrap Text
    As you can see in the figure below the user turned off the wrap text property from cell A2 and therefore removing the green color from cell A1. Also the wrap text property of cell B2 and D2 were set on, therefore coloring the cells B1 and D1 to green:

    Excel VBA Get Wrap Text After Changes
    This is the code used in the event handler for the Run button:

    'event handler for the run button
    Private Sub btnRun_Click()
    Dim i As Integer
    'loops through the cells in row 2
    For i = 1 To 6
        'checks if the wrap property is on
        If Range(Cells(2, i), Cells(2, i)).WrapText = True Then
            'colors the cell green
            Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(1, i)).Interior.Color = 3394611
        Else
            'removes any previous color assigned to the cell
            Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(1, i)).Interior.Color = xlNone
        End If
    Next i
    End Sub

    The If statement below checks the current wrap text property of the cell:

    If Range(Cells(2, i), Cells(2, i)).WrapText = True Then
    ...
    End If

    The line below colores the cell green. The number 3394611 is a color code. This was obtained using the macro recorder. For more information about the macro recorder please see Excel VBA Formatting Cells and Ranges Using the Macro Recorder:

    Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(1, i)).Interior.Color = 3394611

    The line below removes all previous coloring applied to the cell:

    Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(1, i)).Interior.Color = xlNone

    I know this question is really old, but as I had the same needs, after searching SO and google, I found pieces of answers but nothing usable. So with those pieces and bites I made my solution that I share here.

    What I needed

    1. Knowing the column width in pixels
    2. Be able to measure the length of a string in pixels in order to cut it at the dimension of the column

    What I found

    1. About the width in pixels of a column, I found this in Excel 2010 DocumentFormat :

    To translate the value of width in the file into the column width value at runtime (expressed in terms of pixels), use this calculation:
    =Truncate(((256 * {width} + Truncate(128/{Maximum Digit Width}))/256)*{Maximum Digit Width})
    Even if it’s Excel 2010 format, it’s still working in Excel 2016. I’ll be able to test it soon against Excel 365.

    1. About the width of a string in pixels, I used the solution proposed by @TravelinGuy in this question, with small corrections for typo and an overflow. By the time I’m writing this the typo is already corrected in his answer, but there is still the overflow problem. Nevertheless I commented his answer so there is everything over there for you to make it works flawlessly.

    What I’ve done

    Code three recursive functions working this way :

    1. Function 1 : Guess the approximate place where to cut the sentence so if fits in the column and then call Function 2 and 3 in order to determine the right place. Returns the original string with CR (Chr(10)) characters in appropriate places so each line fits in the column size,
    2. Function 2 : From a guessed place, try to add some more words in the line while this fit in the column size,
    3. Function 3 : The exact opposite of function 2, so it retrieves words to the sentence until it fits in the column size.

    Here is the code

    Sub SplitLineTest()
        Dim TextRange As Range
        Set TextRange = FeuilTest.Cells(2, 2) 
    
     'Take the text we want to wrap then past it in multi cells
        Dim NewText As String
        NewText = SetCRtoEOL(TextRange.Value2, TextRange.Font.Name, TextRange.Font.Size, xlWidthToPixs(TextRange.ColumnWidth) - 5) '-5 to take into account 2 white pixels left and right of the text + 1 pixel for the grid
        
    'Copy each of the text lines in an individual cell
        Dim ResultArr() As String
        ResultArr() = Split(NewText, Chr(10))
        TextRange.Offset(2, 0).Resize(UBound(ResultArr) + 1, 1).Value2 = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(ResultArr())
    End Sub
    
    
    Function xlWidthToPixs(ByVal xlWidth As Double) As Long
    'Fonction to convert the size of an Excel column width expressed in Excel unit(Range.ColumnWidth) in pixels
    'Parameters :   - xlWidth : that is the width of the column Excel unit
    'Return :       - The size of the column in pixels
        
        Dim pxFontWidthMax As Long
        
        'Xl Col sizing is related to workbook default string configuration and depends of the size in pixel from char "0". We need to gather it
        With ThisWorkbook.Styles("Normal").Font
            pxFontWidthMax = pxGetStringW("0", .Name, .Size)    'Get the size in pixels of the '0' character
        End With
        
        'Now, we can make the calculation
        xlWidthToPixs = WorksheetFunction.Floor_Precise(((256 * xlWidth + WorksheetFunction.Floor_Precise(128 / pxFontWidthMax)) / 256) * pxFontWidthMax) + 5
    End Function

    Known limitations

    This code will work as long as the text in the cell has only one font and one font size. Here I assume that the font is not Bold nor Italic, but this can be easily handled by adding few parameters as the function measuring the string length in pixels is already able to do it.
    I’ve made many test and I always got the same result than the autowrap function of Excel worksheet, but it may vary from one Excel version to an other. I assume it works on Excel 2010, and I tested it with success in 2013 and 2016. Fo others I don’t know.
    If you need to handle cases where fonts type and/or attributs vary inside a given cell, I assume it’s possible to achieve it by testing the text in the cell character by character by using the range.caracters property. It should be really slower, but for now, even with texts to split in almost 200 lines, it takes less than one instant so maybe it’s viable.

    Переноса текста по словам в ячейках диапазона на рабочем листе Excel из кода VBA. Свойство WrapText объекта Range, возвращаемые значения. Примеры.

    Range.WrapText – это свойство, которое возвращает или задает значение типа Variant, указывающее, переносится ли текст в ячейках диапазона на новые строки, если длина текста превышает ширину ячейки.

    Текст в ячейках переносится по словам. Если слово не умещается в ячейке целиком, происходит перенос части слова. Обычно, высота строки рабочего листа автоматически подбирается под ячейку с максимальным количеством строк, образовавшихся в результате переноса текста.

    Синтаксис

    Expression.WrapText

    Expression – выражение (переменная), возвращающее объект Range.

    Значения

    Значения, которые возвращает свойство Range.WrapText:

    Параметр Значение
    True Во всех ячейках указанного диапазона включен перенос текста на новые строки.
    False Во всех ячейках указанного диапазона отключен перенос текста на новые строки.
    Null В указанном диапазоне присутствуют пустые ячейки, или есть ячейки как с переносом текста, так и без переноса.

    Примеры

    Пример 1

    Указание программе Microsoft Excel, что она должна или не должна переносить текст в ячейках заданного диапазона:

    ‘переносить текст в активной ячейке

        ActiveCell.WrapText = True

    ‘переносить текст во всех ячейках заданного диапазона

        Range(«A1:F20»).WrapText = True

    ‘не переносить текст в ячейке Cells(1, 5)

        Cells(1, 5).WrapText = False

    ‘не переносить текст во всех ячейках выбранного диапазона

        Selection.WrapText = False

    Пример 2

    Присвоение значения, возвращаемого свойством Range.WrapText, переменной:

    Dim a As Variant

    a = Range(«B2»).WrapText

    a = Rows(«1:2»).WrapText

    Пример 3

    Просмотр значения, возвращаемого свойством Range.WrapText, с помощью информационного окна MsgBox:

    If Not Selection.WrapText = Null Then

        MsgBox Selection.WrapText

    Else

        MsgBox «Null»

    End If

    Условие необходимо из-за того, что MsgBox не может отобразить значение Null – возникает ошибка. Поэтому, когда свойство Range.WrapText = Null, мы задаем в качестве аргумента функции MsgBox – строку «Null».

    In this post, you will learn how to wrap text in Excel VBA with some examples showing how to apply them in your excel spreadsheet.

    This example formats cell A1 so that the text wraps within the cell.

    Range("A1").WrapText = True

    Shrink To Fit

    This example causes text in row one to automatically shrink to fit in the available column width.

    Rows(1).ShrinkToFit = True

    Merge Cells

    This example merge range A1:A4 to a large one.

    Range("A1:A4").MergeCells = True

    Right-to-left

    Text direction

    The value of this property can be set to one of the constants: xlRTL (right-to-left), xlLTR (left-to-right), or xlContext (context).

    Orientation

    The value of this property can be set to an integer value from –90 to 90 degrees or to one of the following constants: xlDownward, xlHorizontal, xlUpward, xlVertical.

    The following code example sets the orientation of cell A1 to xlHorizontal.

    Range("A1").Orientation = xlHorizontal

    Font

    Font Name

    The value of this property can be set to one of the fonts: Calibri, Times new Roman, Arial

    The following code sets the font name of range A1:A5 to Calibri.

    Range("A1:A5").Font.Name = "Calibri"

    Font Style

    The value of this property can be set to one of the constants: Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic.

    The following code sets the font style of range A1:A5 to Italic.

    Range("A1:A5").Font.FontStyle = "Italic"

    Font Size

    The value of this property can be set to an integer value from 1 to 409.

    The following code sets the font size of cell A1 to 14.

    Range("A1").Font.Size = 14

    Underline

    The value of this property can be set to one of the constants: xlUnderlineStyleNone, xlUnderlineStyleSingle, xlUnderlineStyleDouble, xlUnderlineStyleSingleAccounting, xlUnderlineStyleDoubleAccounting.

    The following code sets the font of cell A1 to xlUnderlineStyleDouble (double underline).

    Range("A1").Font.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleDouble

    Font Color

    The value of this property can be set to one of the standard colors: vbBlack, vbRed, vbGreen, vbYellow, vbBlue, vbMagenta, vbCyan, vbWhite or an integer value from 0 to 16,581,375.

    To assist you with specifying the color of anything, the VBA is equipped with a function named RGB. Its syntax is:

    Function RGB(RedValue As Byte, GreenValue As Byte, BlueValue As Byte) As long

    This function takes three arguments and each must hold a value between 0 and 255. The first argument represents the ratio of red of the color. The second argument represents the green ratio of the color. The last argument represents the blue of the color. After the function has been called, it produces a number whose maximum value can be 255 * 255 * 255 = 16,581,375, which represents a color.

    The following code sets the font color of cell A1 to vbBlack (Black).

    Range("A1").Font.Color = vbBlack

    The following code sets the font color of cell A1 to 0 (Black).

    Range("A1").Font.Color = 0

    The following code sets the font color of cell A1 to RGB(0, 0, 0) (Black).

    Range("A1").Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)

    Font Effects

    Strikethrough

    True if the font is struck through with a horizontal line.

    The following code sets the font of cell A1 to strikethrough.

    Range("A1").Font.Strikethrough = True

    Subscript

    True if the font is formatted as subscript. False by default.

    The following code sets the font of cell A1 to Subscript.

    Range("A1").Font.Subscript = True

    Superscript

    True if the font is formatted as superscript; False by default.

    The following code sets the font of cell A1 to Superscript.

    Range("A1").Font.Superscript = True

    Border

    Border Index

    Using VBA you can choose to create borders for the different edges of a range of cells:

    1. xlDiagonalDown (Border running from the upper left-hand corner to the lower right of each cell in the range).
    2. xlDiagonalUp (Border running from the lower left-hand corner to the upper right of each cell in the range).
    3. xlEdgeBottom (Border at the bottom of the range).
    4. xlEdgeLeft (Border at the left-hand edge of the range).
    5. xlEdgeRight (Border at the right-hand edge of the range).
    6. xlEdgeTop (Border at the top of the range).
    7. xlInsideHorizontal (Horizontal borders for all cells in the range except borders on the outside of the range).
    8. xlInsideVertical (Vertical borders for all the cells in the range except borders on the outside of the range).

    Line Style

    The value of this property can be set to one of the constants: xlContinuous (Continuous line), xlDash (Dashed line), xlDashDot (Alternating dashes and dots), xlDashDotDot (Dash followed by two dots), xlDot (Dotted line), xlDouble (Double line), xlLineStyleNone (No line), xlSlantDashDot (Slanted dashes).

    The following code example sets the border on the bottom edge of cell A1 with continuous line.

    Range("A1").Borders(xlEdgeBottom).LineStyle = xlContinuous

    The following code example removes the border on the bottom edge of cell A1.

    Range("A1").Borders(xlEdgeBottom).LineStyle = xlNone

    Line Thickness

    The value of this property can be set to one of the constants: xlHairline (Hairline, thinnest border), xlMedium (Medium), xlThick (Thick, widest border), xlThin (Thin).

    The following code example sets the thickness of the border created to xlThin (Thin).

    Range("A1").Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Weight = xlThin

    Line Color

    The value of this property can be set to one of the standard colors: vbBlack, vbRed, vbGreen, vbYellow, vbBlue, vbMagenta, vbCyan, vbWhite or an integer value from 0 to 16,581,375.

    The following code example sets the color of the border on the bottom edge to green.

    Range("A1").Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Color = vbGreen

    You can also use the RGB function to create a color value.

    The following example sets the color of the bottom border of cell A1 with RGB fuction.

    Range("A1").Borders(xlEdgeBottom).Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)

    Fill

    Pattern Style

    The value of this property can be set to one of the constants:

    1. xlPatternAutomatic (Excel controls the pattern.)

    13. xlPatternLightHorizontal (Light horizontal lines.)
    14. xlPatternLightUp (Light diagonal lines running from the lower left to the upper right.)
    15. xlPatternLightVertical (Light vertical bars.)
    16. xlPatternNone (No pattern.)
    17. xlPatternSemiGray75 (75% dark moiré.)
    18. xlPatternSolid (Solid color.)
    19. xlPatternUp (Dark diagonal lines running from the lower left to the upper right.)

    Protection

    Locking Cells

    This property returns True if the object is locked, False if the object can be modified when the sheet is protected, or Null if the specified range contains both locked and unlocked cells.

    The following code example unlocks cells A1:B22 on Sheet1 so that they can be modified when the sheet is protected.

    Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:B22").Locked = False
    Worksheets("Sheet1").Protect

    Hiding Formulas

    This property returns True if the formula will be hidden when the worksheet is protected, Null if the specified range contains some cells with FormulaHidden equal to True and some cells with FormulaHidden equal to False.

    Don’t confuse this property with the Hidden property. The formula will not be hidden if the workbook is protected and the worksheet is not, but only if the worksheet is protected.

    The following code example hides the formulas in cells A1 and C1 on Sheet1 when the worksheet is protected.

    Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:C1").FormulaHidden = True

      [SOLVED] Wrap Text in Merged Cell

      Hello,
      Ich have a merged cell «C22» which spans over columns C:H in row 22.
      Contracry to single cells, when the text wraps, the cell height does not
      adjust automatically. Actually, does not even adjust when you click between
      the row headers. One has to drag it to fit. Is there a workaround, something
      that can be embedded into a Worksheet_Change option or so?
      Thank you for your help.
      Stefan

      Hi Norman,
      Thank you for the URL’s.
      Of course, after i posted i found some helpful ones too.
      One post was also from Greg Wilson, which i modified to my needs. See below.
      Now that i see that this works so great i would like to have a second range
      (G:H40) included and have not been successful doing so. Would you have a hint?

      Thank you,
      Stefan

      Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
      Dim RowHt As Single, MergeWidth As Single
      Dim C As Range, AutoFitRng As Range
      Dim CWidth As Single, NewRowHt As Single
      Static OldRng As Range
      On Error Resume Next
      If OldRng Is Nothing Then _
      Set OldRng = Range(«C22»).MergeArea
      Set AutoFitRng = Range(«C22:H22»)
      If Not Intersect(OldRng, AutoFitRng) Is Nothing Then
      Application.ScreenUpdating = False
      With OldRng
      RowHt = .RowHeight
      CWidth = .Cells(1).ColumnWidth
      For Each C In OldRng
      MergeWidth = C.ColumnWidth + MergeWidth
      Next
      .MergeCells = False
      .Cells(1).ColumnWidth = MergeWidth
      .EntireRow.AutoFit
      NewRowHt = .RowHeight
      .Cells(1).ColumnWidth = CWidth
      .MergeCells = True
      .RowHeight = NewRowHt
      End With
      Application.ScreenUpdating = True
      End If
      Set OldRng = Target
      End Sub

      Hi Norman,
      This is genius. And so simple, if you know how to do it. Thank you so much.
      Hey, i assume that you can have has many ranges as you want or is there a
      limitation? Not that i’d need it (now), just wondering.
      Thank you,
      Stefan

      Re: Wrap Text in Merged Cell

      Hi Stefan,

      I see no intrinsic reason why this could not be extended to cover numerous
      ranges.

      If you had a number of merged ranges, for ease of maintenance and clarity, I
      would use a form like:

      Set Rng1 = Range(…).MergeArea
      Set Rng2 = Range(…).MergeArea
      …..
      …..
      Set RngN = Range(…).MergeArea

      set OldRng =Union(Rng1,rng2….rngN)

      That said, you did note Jim Rech’s instruction about ensuring to set the
      wrap format ? In testing, if I didn’t, I got a painful kick!

      Whilst you appear very happy, I should tell you that I abhor merged cells
      and never use them. Where I might otherwise use merged cells, I use ‘Center
      across selection’.


      Regards,
      Norman

      Re: Wrap Text in Merged Cell

      Hi Norman,
      I appreciate the info and help.
      I too like the ‘Center across selection’ better then merging. I’d really like
      it if there would be a ‘Left across selection’ or ‘Right across selection’
      option.

      I put together a «Service Form» and C30:F40 are individually used cells
      whereas the ranges next to them G30:G40 are a mix of merge and ‘Center across
      selection’ . Range G40:H40 is one that the user may choose to insert more
      data then it would fit to be visible and hence i found the workaround with
      «autofitting the merged cells» great.

      Another question…or so…
      My range G40 (G40:H40) is one that changes, depending on how many cells the
      user uses/inserts above. I changed the code to
      Set OldRng = Union(Range(«C22»).MergeArea, _
      Range(«Commentrange»).MergeArea) ‘ Was G40
      Set AutoFitRng = Union(Range(«C22:H22»), _
      Range(«Commentrange»)) ‘ WasG40:H40
      which seems to be working just fine. Do you see anything that would cause me
      trouble, that may have not shown up when testing it so far?

      And to the formatting «wrap». Yes, i too fell in that hole once i got a bit
      frustrated that the code, which worked on one range, did not work on the
      second, until i figured that the cells were not even set for «wrap».

      Thank you,

      Stefan

      Re: Wrap Text in Merged Cell

      Hi Stefan,

      Replacing a hard coded range with a named range should cause no problem and,
      in my opinion, increases flexibility.

      As I avoid the use of merged cells, I have no experience of using similar
      code and could not, therefore, comment on what problems you might encounter.

      I am aware that merged cells are subject to a number of problems and
      restrictions, which is why I don’t use them.

      I would suggest you make a Google search for ‘Merged Cells’ and see if any
      of the reported problems could have an impact on your workbook and your
      code.


      Regards,
      Norman

      I’ve tried the VBA-script and it is working just fine.
      Just one problem:
      When I select more than one merged cel and delete the content all cells are beging merged.
      Can this problem be fixed?
