When the cell is not wide enough to display the numbers that are in it. Widening the column will enable you to see the numbers properly.
Cell display is what you see when you look at a cell and cell contents are what is in the cell. Sometimes they are the same, like when you type a number into a cell. Sometimes they are different, like when you type in a formula. When you've entered the formula the cell will normally show some value that the formula creates, like a total. So you might see a number, which is the cell display, but the cell still contains a formula, which is the cell content. If you put the cursor onto a cell and look at the formula bar, it will show you what is in the cell. Formatting a cell can also change the cell display, but not the contents. If you put a number into a cell and format it to currency, you will see the currency value, with a currency symbol and probably two decimal places, but the cell still just contains the number you originally entered.
You have to right click on the cell and select Format cellsNow under Number Menu choose General.If you need that your number should display seprators (,),decimals (.) etc then choose Number under Number Menu and select the type you want to display.
The number in the cell is too long to be displayed in the cell. Increase the column width to display the entire number.
That will depend on what the error is. Different problems result in a formula not being able to calculate. The appropriate error message for the situation will be displayed. Here are error messages you will see: #REF! #DIV/0! #NAME? #NULL! #N/A! #NUM! #VALUE!
It depends on the length of each word. The number of words does not matter; the limit is the number of total characters, including spaces. The maximum length of cell contents (text) is 32,767 characters. Only 1,024 display can display in a cell, but all 32,767 characters display in the formula bar.
The answer will display in the cell itself.
If there is an invalid cell reference you will see #REF! in the cell. If you refer to a defined range name that does not exist or a function name that does not exist you will see the #NAME! error.

The number symbol (#) indicates that the content of the cell is wider than the cell can display. Increase the column width and you will see the cell contents, instead of ##########.
