The value automatically "overflows" on top of the next cell. But you can manually change the formatting in a variety of ways to change this to a better appearing form in a variety of ways, including:

  • widening the column
  • making the labels or values "wrap" onto more lines of that cell (the height of the cell changes automatically)
  • reducing the font size in the cell
