Please use as little code as possible that still produces the same problem. Avoid including code that is clearly unrelated to the question. — , Jan 27 '16 at 03:20

You can do that using auto dimension for the cell of tableview. Kindly follow this url. He have mention about the textview. you can do same with label.

Change height of textview according to content

Assuming your text is in a UILabel, you can use adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth along the lines of:

myLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true

Have a look at the documentation here. Given that your using a UITableViewCell, you would do something like:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
{
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell", forIndexPath: indexPath)
    let data = TableData[indexPath.row]
    cell.textLabel?.text = data.description
    cell.textLabel!.minimumFontSize = 8
    cell.textLabel!.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = true

    return cell
}

I have also set the minimum font size above, so it doesn't get so small you can't see it.

its in table view cell – chicken man Jan 27 '16 at 03:37
do you want full project? – chicken man Jan 27 '16 at 03:37
Assuming it's a basic table view cell, then you should be able to set that property on its textLabel property, as it is a UILabel. – Michael Jan 27 '16 at 04:04

You can change number of lines of textLabel to be displayed on tableview cell like given below. By setting it to "0" it'll display full text, no meter how long it is. And if you want fix lines and after that wrap the content. You can set digits other then 0.

   func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
    {
    cell.textLabel.numberOfLines = 0;
    cell.textLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
    ....
    }
