In this video I demonstrate how to set cell size in Microsoft Excel (column width and row height) in either inches, centimeters or millimeters (US spelling).

Thanks Chester. Did not know about this feature. When I set Col and Row to both 1 inch and then go back to Normal View, the Col width is shown as 12 and the Row height is shown as 72. What are these numbers? If pixels, shouldn't they be the same? Just curious. Thanks for sharing! Thumbs up!!

Thanks Chester! Super helpful. When I went to print this out, the column widths were spot on. The row heights, however, were about 3% smaller than they were supposed to be. Going back to my file, I noticed that the same discrepancy was reflected in the Page Layout view when comparing the row heights to the ruler. Any idea why this doesn't line up?

Why doesn't Excel let us do this in pixels? Google sheets defaults to pixels when you adjust a column. Unfortunately my professor doesn't accept work done in Sheets, smh.

Using Excel 365, this method generates an error.
