Row, Column measurement?

Bob Newman

Excel 2000.
What are the units? Why aren't they the same? If the row is 20 tall & the
column 20 wide, why don't I have a square cell? How do I get one?

Row heights are measured in points. There are 72 points to an inch.

The number that appears in the Standard column width box is the average number
of digits 0-9 of the standard font that fit in a cell.

No relationship between the two.

If you want to use VBA to set height and width in mm....

Ole Erlandson has code for setting row and column dimensions.
