Thank you very much for your reply. So it seems the documentation is not correct regarding datatips.
Please help me understand your statement, "Otherwise, it should require clipped text." --- Does this mean that if I used another function or property it would work as I want it to? How do I accomplish showing a tooltip/datatip-like feature only for cells with clipped text?
