I have quite a lot of text that I want to format in a readable manner in a single cell of a table, so I want to use hangindents. But in addition to that I want to make the text justified, but this is not working. If I use usepackageragged2e and then change raggedright to justify, all hell breaks loose.
In order to have the hangindent, I needed to make a customnewline command, to repeat the hangindent (see difference between left and right column).
How can I combine this all, so make the text 'hang' and justified?
Note: It is quite a large table, which I am creating using Excel2LaTeX, so I would like to make the least amount of changes possible... That's why I changed the columntype.

Welcome to TeX.SE. Your objectives aren't entirely clear. E.g., you write "A lot of text that I want to justify and hangindent", but the material isn't [fully] justified; instead, it is set ragged-right. Please clarify.

Well, that is the problem, if I set it tojustifyinnewcolumntype, only half the table shows. So how can I change the column definition in such a way that the text will be justified?

You can use a blank line, instead, provided you set up hanging indentation for every paragraph:

newcolumntypeY[1]%
>smallraggedrighteveryparhangindent=1emarraybackslashp#1%

% define newline to use hangindent on new line
renewcommandarraystretch1.3
noindent
