Different formatting within a Numbers document and within cells

Is there a process to change the formatting within cells using Numbers? When a Numbers spreadsheet is used and there are cells divided into rows and columns, if one wishes to have one cell in a rows contain more information and the next cell over (ie., in the next row) be smaller with less information, can this be formatted?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Like all spreadsheets Numbers organizes cells in rows and columns.


All cells in a row have the same height, which you can vary.


All cells in a column have the same width, which you can vary.


You can select more than one cell and merge them to achieve a different visual effect, but that can affect calculations.


Resize rows and columns in Numbers on Mac - Apple Support


This is from the Numbers User Guide for Mac, always available via Help > Numbers Help in your menu on the Mac.


If you are on the iPad you can find the User Guide here:


Numbers User Guide for iPad - Apple Support


Also available via the circle with horizontal lines next to the paintbrush > Help > Numbers Help.


Note that you can control whether or not text "wraps" in a cell.
