How To Make All Rows the Same Height in Excel
Overview
Adjusting row height in Excel can enhance the readability and appearance of your spreadsheets. Ensuring consistency in row height contributes to a cleaner and more professional look.
This guide provides a straightforward approach to making all rows in Excel the same height. Additionally, we'll explore why Sourcetable offers a more efficient method for achieving uniform row dimensions compared to Excel.
Set Uniform Row Height in Excel
Manual Adjustment for Uniform Row Height
To manually set all rows to the same height in Excel, first select the rows you want to modify. Then, right-click and choose 'Row Height.' Enter the desired value between 0 to 409 points, where 1 point equals 1/72 inch, or set the height in inches, centimeters, or millimeters. This method allows precise control over the row height adjustment.
Using Excel's Format Options
For a numerical approach, use the 'Format > Row Height' command to set a uniform height for selected rows. Alternatively, to automatically adjust row height to fit the content, select the rows and choose 'Format > AutoFit Row Height.' This command can be applied to multiple rows simultaneously for consistent row height across your data set.
Adjusting Default Row Height
To change the default row height for all new workbooks, modify the default font size under the 'When creating new workbooks' section in Excel options. The default row height is 12.75 points with Calibri 11 as the standard font, and it will adjust based on the largest font used in a row.
