How To Make All Rows the Same Size In Excel

Adjusting row sizes in Excel can be a tedious task, especially when dealing with large datasets. This guide provides straightforward steps to standardize the height of all rows quickly and efficiently.

By following these instructions, users can achieve a uniform look in their spreadsheets, enhancing readability and organization. We will also explore how Sourcetable offers a more user-friendly approach to this common formatting challenge.

Standardizing Row Height in Excel

To make all rows in an Excel worksheet the same size, begin by selecting the entire worksheet. This action ensures that the changes will apply to all rows. Excel's default behavior automatically adjusts row height based on the largest font in each row. However, this can be overridden.

Manual Adjustment of Row Height

For a uniform appearance, manually adjust the row height. Click on any row number, drag the row border to your desired height, and release. Excel supports row heights from 0 to 409 points, with 1 point equaling approximately 1/72 inch or 0.035 cm. The default row height is 12.75 points.

Using AutoFit to Standardize Rows

Alternatively, use the AutoFit feature by selecting the rows, right-clicking, and choosing 'Row Height' from the context menu. Enter the desired height in points to set a uniform size. Note that rows with merged cells will not respond to the AutoFit command and need to be adjusted separately.

The adjustments covered in this guide are applicable to Microsoft Excel 2013 and are fundamental in making data more readable and standardized in appearance.
