When a label is too long to fit within a worksheet cell you typically must?

Normally you would just widen the column. You have other options, like formatting the cell to wrap the text in the cell or press Alt-Enter to start a new line within the cell. You could also put some of the text into one cell and more into another, either beside it or below it. One other option is to use the Merge Cells option, to create a larger cell spread across two or more columns. You could also just decide on a new shorter label to use instead, or use an abbreviation.
