Is there a way to resize the formula bar to make it easier to read?

Thank you.

You can undock it and make it float, as well as change it's width. Do you
mean make it taller so the character size is larger? If so, there is no way
to do that.

Thank you for your help. I hope Excel addresses this is the future as it is really hard to edit a hugh formula.

What is the problem? As the formula length increases, the formula bar
expands to multiple lines. I, and I'm sure Microsoft also, are not at all
clear on what problem you are having. If you are hoping for a change in a
future version, your best bet is to select Send feedback from the help menu,
and explain your problem, the solution you'd like to see and how it will
help you work more efficiently.

Okay, the problem is the font is way too small to read unless you get right up on the screen.

Thank you for your suggestion I will use the Feedback button.

Have a great day.
