Is there an easy way in Excel 2016 for Mac to add a bullet point in a cell (similar to clicking a bullet point button in Word)? Many times I want to use Word type bullet points in Excel (example a cell for comments) and the format is terrible on some of the options I have tried.
Example:
like this bullet does.
Suggestions very appreciated.
Thanks

Don't know if that is actually available in Excel But you do know you can type Bullets by holding down Option key while typing 8 ( • )

Another option: Create the bulleted list in Word, then copy & paste into Excel. Make sure to double-click the cell before you paste in order to paste the entire list into the cell [or select a cell & paste into the Formula Bar]. Otherwise, each item in the list will be pasted into a different row with an unsightly gap to the left of each bullet which cannot be removed.
There is no Bullets/Numbering feature in Excel.
Its a little clumsy but you can use the character viewer in the Apple system preferences under keyboard preferences select keyboard and character viewer. Then there will be a little symbol with a dropdown special character selector that includes a number of bullet points. Then after you insert the first one you can use copy and paste to place in as many cells as you like quickly.
The only way I can think of to make the text wrap properly is to right justify it., or place the special bullet point in a very narrow column.
Phil's, solutions beats mine!
