Autofit torrent

This feature is known as Excel AutoFit and further on in this tutorial you will learn 3 different ways to use it. Excel's AutoFit feature is designed to automatically resize cells in a worksheet to accommodate different sized data without having to manually change the column width and row height. AutoFit Column Width - changes the column width to hold the largest value in the column.

AutoFit Row Height - adjusts the column width to match the largest value in the row. This option expands the row vertically to hold multi-line or extra-tall text. Unlike column width, Microsoft Excel changes the row height automatically based on the height of the text you type in a cell, therefore you won't really need to auto fit rows as often as columns. However, when exporting or copying data from another source, row heights may not auto adjust, and in these situations the AutoFit Row Height opting comes in helpful.

When resizing cells in Excel, either automatically or manually, please bear in mind the following limits to how big columns and rows can be made. Columns can have a maximum width of , which is the maximum number of characters in the standard font size that a column can hold. Using a bigger font size or applying additional font characteristics such as italics or bold may significantly reduce the maximum column width.

The default size of columns in Excel is 8. What I particularly like about Excel is that it provides more than one way to do most things. Depending on your preferred work style, you can auto fit columns and rows by using the mouse, ribbon or keyboard. Those of you who prefer working with the keyboard most of the time, may like the following way to auto fit in Excel:.

In most situations, the Excel AutoFit feature works without a hitch. There are times, however, when it fails to auto size columns or rows, especially when the Wrap Text feature is enabled. Here's a typical scenario: you set the desired column width, turn Text Wrap on, select the cells of interest, and double click a row separator to autofit the row height. In most cases, rows are sized properly. But sometimes and this may happen in any version of Excel to Excel , some extra space appears below the last line of text as show in the screenshot below.

Moreover, the text may look correctly on the screen, but gets cut off when printed. Microsoft has even acknowledged this issue here.

If this happens to you, the only workaround is to manually set the row height or column width. When you have applied text wrap to a cell and you try and autofit the row, you may find that there are some extra spaces at the bottom or top of the row. These do not space characters. This is just a space that exists for no reason. Sometimes, changing the column width makes this go away. And there is always an option to manually resize the row or right-click and use the row-height option to specify the row height value.

Another place where autofit may not work is when you have applied wrap text to cell and you try to autofit the column. This is less of autofit not working and more by design. After all, wrap text means that any text would be wrapped in such a way that it would remain within the cell.

You can, however, adjust the column width manually. While autofit is what you would want in most cases, there some other options as well that can help you present your data in a better way especially in cases where autofit is not the way to go.

If you have a cell that has a lot of text, autofitting the column will expand it and make the column huge. This may not be the right way to present your data, and it may make more sense to have a bigger row and narrower column. When you apply wrap text to a cell, it makes the content of the cell remain within the cell. This allows you to choose what column width you want and then you can autofit the row height to match the column width. Adjust the row height to what you want and then you can use auto-fit to adjust the column width to make sure text is all the cell content is visible and within the cell.

For example, if you have some text in a cell and it spills to other cells, when you apply to Shrink to Fit on this cell, the font of the cell would be lowered to fit the cell content in the existing column width. So these are some of the ways you can use Autofit rows or columns in Excel. I have also covered some possible reasons why autofit may not work on your system and some alternatives to it in Excel.
