Cell sizing in a Vlookup formula to fit information.
 
Is it possible for a cell to automatically size itself by height to fit the
information pulled into said cell by a VLookup formula. The information in
my data table are of differing lengths. I currently have to stop working in
my spreadsheet to size the cells by height to visually see all the
information.

Could you resize all the usedrange's rowheights each time excel recalculates?

If yes, rightclick on the worksheet tab that should have this behavior. Select
view code and paste this in:

Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Me.UsedRange.Rows.AutoFit
End Sub

If you don't want to do all the rows, you can specify the ones you want:

Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Me.UsedRange.Range("a5:a12").EntireRow.AutoFit
End Sub

(It resizes 5:12 and leaves the rest alone.)
