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.
