3. Auto-Fit row height

  • Sometimes you may have come across the situation wherein you have copied any text in the cell, and you are not able to read the text properly as the text is clipped off. The row height needs to be fixed using autofit row height option. This will allow the row height to adjust automatically using the largest value of that row.
  • Double click on the lower boundary of the row heading to adjust the row height of the entered text.

4. Using Ruler

  • Sometimes when there is a need to take a print out of our excel working, we need to set the excel row height based on inches, and this can be done using the Page layout option.
  • In the View tab, select on the Page layout option. This will display the rulers, which allow you to adjust the column width or row height in inches, centimeters, or millimeters as per the requirement.
  • Select either one or multiple rows of the excel sheet and set the row height by dragging the lower boundary of the selected row headings.

Example 1-10

Things to Remember About Row Height in Excel

  • Excel grid sometimes appears to be static in nature, but you can customize the page layout using the Excel tool of row height or column width.
  • The easiest method of adjusting the rows is by dragging the Mouse up or down. To get the specified row height, you can use the row height option under the format menu.
  • To resize the whole dataset, select the entire sheet and click on the Auto-fit option. This sets the required rows/column automatically.
  • If a user wants to customize the sheet, use the page layout option and adjust the row height in either inches, centimeters, or millimeters. It’s the most effective and simple technique which is useful in our daily activities.
