cell 's width and height
Hi
From the Excel help: Unlike Microsoft Word, Excel does not provide a horizontal or vertical ruler, and there is no quick way to measure the width or height of a worksheet in inches. Excel uses characters, points, and pixels as units of measurement. The width of cells is displayed in characters and pixels rather than in inches. When you drag the boundary of a column heading to adjust the width of a column on the worksheet, a ScreenTip displays the width in characters and shows pixels in parentheses. The height of cells is displayed in points and pixels rather than in inches. When you drag the boundary of a row heading to adjust the height of a row on the worksheet, a ScreenTip displays the height in points and shows pixels in parentheses. An approximate conversion of points and pixels to inches is shown in the following table. Points Pixels Inches 18 24 .25 36 48 .5 72 96 1 108 144 1.5 144 192 2 regards Paul EXCEL NEWS wrote: hi, i wonder, when i input the cell 's width and height the same value,the appearance (width and height ) is different, why,for instance i give 35.25 to height and width ,but the width 's 35.25 is far much longer than height'S 35.25. is there a way to get the width or height in mm, thanks |
