If I import an excelfile, where cells have text with overflow into the next cell, the excel file will show the overflowing text. The spreadsheet editor is hiding overflowing text behind the following cell.

Is it possible to format the spreadsheet to show overflowing cell content like in excel?

I know, Excel is showing overflowing content only, if the following cells are ampty - but this is exactly what we face. There are a bunch of excelfiles to process in our application, where people didn't care about formating cells with overflowing content. We just want to show this content like excel.

Hello Alexander,

A possible approach to allow text to overflow is to apply a CSS style to override the default behavior:

 <style>
      html {
        font-size: 14px;
        font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
      }
 </style>

You can test the behavior in the following Dojo example: https://dojo.telerik.com/vpZGKdII

I hope this helps.
