Row and Column Size As Scale Grid
Column width and row heights defaults are not in inches or mm.
The number that appears in the Standard column width box is the average number of digits 0-9 of the standard font that fit in a cell. Row heights are measured in points or pixels. There are 72 points to an inch and "maybe" 96 pixels to the inch. For an interesting and enlightening discussion on this subject see http://snipurl.com/dzz8 If you want to use VBA to set height and width in mm(25.4mm/inch).................... Ole Erlandson has code for setting row and column dimensions. http://www.erlandsendata.no/english/...vbawssetrowcol Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Mon, 29 Oct 2007 09:33:04 -0700, KMH wrote: Is there an easy way to make the row height and column width fit to a certain scale (example....1 inch x 1 inch)? |

Excel uses points or pixels as measurement for width and height. When
you drag the column or row to change its size, two numbers appear next to your mouse cursor. The first is in points and the second is pixels (in parenthesis). To convert the points or pixels to inches keep in mind that 1 inch = 72 points or 1 inch=96 pixels. If you are familiar with VBA you can create a macro to automatically resize ranges to specified dimensions. www.exciter.gr Custom excel applications and functions!
