Under Size, set the rows height by selecting Preferred height and choosing a size you can further refine the height by selecting an option in the Row height is box. Is there a way to set Excel to auto-adjust row height bigger AND smaller? I'm sure VBA solutions exist, but shouldn't/doesn't Excel do this natively? (Note I also tried using 'AutoFit Row Height' but this seems to not work either, as shrinking the column size will no longer auto-enlarge the row height. First, click in the row or select the rows you want to change, right-click, choose Table Properties, and then click the Row tab. Just like with the AutoFit feature, you’ll see your column (s) or rows (s) adjust to fit the contents. Excel will adjust the row height to fit the contents of the cells in that row. Double-click the bottom edge of one of the selected rows. Note: Row height automatically adjusts to the size of the content until you manually change it. To adjust table width automatically, click AutoFit Window. To adjust column width automatically, click AutoFit Contents. Here are the steps: Select the row or rows that you want to adjust. On the Layout tab, in the Cell Size group, click AutoFit. When you see the double-sided arrow display, double-click. Using Autofit Row Height in Excel is easy.

Select the column (s) or row (s) that you want to shrink or expand to fit the contents. But an issue occurs when I enlarge the size of the column the row height won't 'shrink' to adjust to the extra space in the cell, leaving blank gaps at the top of the cell. Now if I shrink the size of the column, the row height automatically adjusts bigger. Fitting content: When the content in a cell exceeds the default row height, the row height needs to be adjusted to fit the content properly. For example, if I want to display all the text in the cell, I select 'Wrap Text'. Do any of the following: Move the pointer to the right of the row number or column letter, click the arrow, then choose Fit Height to Content or Fit Width to. When you use merged cells, manually adjust row height and column width by using the following procedures, as appropriate for. Likewise, you cannot use AutoFit on a row that contains a cell merged with cells in other rows.
