I am using Excel 2007 and I would simply like to autofit every column o that the information fits and is visible. I would do this myself, but when you have to open many files with as many as 100 columns, its not fun.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write a small sub which will make do an "AutoFit" for all columns of the Active Sheet. For example, the code below does an "AutoFit" for columns A:J of a sheet. How can I make it do the same for all columns (not only for columns A:J) of the ActiveSheet?
Columns("A:J").EntireColumn.AutoFit
I have a worksheet that has several hidden columns and wish to have the EntireRow.Autofit apply to all rows in the current region based on visible columns. After using the WrapText method on all visible cells, one of the hidden columns with a lot of characters causes the entire row to be much larger than desired. Is there a way to use EntireRow.Autofit to only expand the height of each row in the current region as necessary based only on the visible cell contents in that row?
Set AllCells = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion
ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Select
With AllCells
.Font.Size = 6
.Font.Bold = False
.WrapText = True
.EntireRow.AutoFit = True
End With
I'm trying to not have to go through every worksheet in my large workbook to autofit the columns in each worksheet to my cell content.

I'm trying to Autofit a number of Rows within a macro. I need to autofit Rows 8 to 80 as the content of these rows will have been updated by lines earlier in the macro. Some rows will now contain more than 1 line of text whereas others will now be blank.

Is there a way / code i can put into a macro which can autofit a group of sheets or a whole work book. I have a workbook with 100's of sheets and it takes alot of time to click each sheet and autofit them manually.
I do run a macro for each sheet, so if i could build it into a macro by adding the code to it that would be great
I have on sheet1 a number (72 at the moment) of Form CheckBoxes.
In simple terms: I would like a macro to look at each CheckBox and remember its state (Checked or Unchecked)
Then, go through and Check All checkboxes
Call MyMacro
Once MyMacro is complete (Filtering & Printing)
Revert the checkboxes to their original state.
The purpose of the checkboxes:
When Checked column on sheet2 is UnHidden
When UnChecked column on sheet2 is Hidden
Or, UnHide All columns on sheet2, run MyMacro, then "re-hide" the columns that were previously hidden.
I have a range named "rngOrders" on an Excel 2003 worksheet. I'm looking for a VBA macro that will set the row heights of the range to autofit (for rows/cells with wrapped text) and also set a minimum row height of 19.5 points for all rows.

Code:
With Range("A1:F1250")

After Format > Column > Autofit Selection, the cell width is STILL not sufficient. Values with many digits do not show up in the print out (only ######s appear). What should I do?
1. autofit all cells in 38 worksheets
2. copy the previous row without looking up or deleting or inserting. Just a simple copy previous row of values and formulas down one (to the next row empty or not)
3. Hide columns with headings hide in the first cell of the column.
Remember, I have 38 worsheets in the same workbook that it has to cycle thru. 4 of those are pivots, so no need to include those.
I have some Worksheets in which cell A1 contains a textual heading for each Worksheet.
On each Worksheet, cells in the range A2 to O5 containg headings; the data goes in rows 6 onwards.
In VBA script, I'd like to autofit columns A to O, but starting at row 2 so the text in A1 is not included. For each sheet, I can determine the last row, to get a "range" to autofit (e.g. "A2:P15").
I've run a search on Autofit; the only examples I can find autofit the whole column or set of columns.
Is it possible to autofit starting at a specific row?
autofitting on workbook opening. i'm using on workbook_open:
columns("b:b").entirecolumn.autofit
but underneath, i have a data query range that refreshes and best fits the columns accordingly...(over writing the autofit...)?
I've just created a spreadsheet that we will be using as a project review form. In this spreadsheet I have multiple rows of merged cells, column D to N, for comments. I need these comment areas, merged rows, to autofit whatever is cut and pasted or typed into them.
The first problem is cutting and pasting from a pdf. All of the documents we received for the projects we bid are in pdf format. We often cut and paste from those documents into an older version of our review sheet that was built in Word. Trying to cut and paste the same information into Excel ends up in failure. Is there a way that this can be done without jumping through hoops?
The second problem I’m running into is when I cut and paste into a comment area I get the typical Excel error message that the information being pasted does not fit the area it is being pasted into. It there a workaround for this?
My third problem is autofitting the pasted information into the merged cells. I’ve seen some VBA and tried a couple but they don’t work automatically when the comments area is filled. How can I do this? I don’t know VBA. I'm using MS Office 2003
I just want to know how to Autofit Column width of Listbox.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI am trying to manipulate some worksheets during a Workbook_BeforeClose event. On sheet names that end with "sd" they need to alphabetize the data and autofit the columns. All sheets should hide on close, except "order". This is what I have but warning - it did something bad to my workbook. I can't get it back again. Had to force close Excel.

how to disable any Autofit initiave from Excel 2010?
I'm using Office 2007 professional and I'm trying to format a cell (merged cell) so that when you enter text and it goes beyond the size of the designed cell that it will automatically continue and shift the additional text downward, like a paragraph. Also it shift everything below down with it. Is this possible? I have already tried wrap text field and AutoFit row height. This keeps it within the cell but it is not visible or printable once you tab out. I would like to have it continue like in a paragraph. Like a word doc may do. It’s visible and it shifts everything below downward as it grows, which also allows it to be printable.

I've got a Listbox in a User form that looks at data on another spreadsheet purely for informational purposes, not to be selected. I have two problems with what it's doing:
1) There are 23 columns, of varying widths. However the listbox uses a standard width, so some items are truncated and some have too much room.
2) The data changes, and the number of rows may change from 2 to 15000. I've set the RowSource to cover the ranged from A1:W15000, but if only 2-300 lines are selected the user can't grab the scrollbar button to scroll through, but must instead use the arrow, which is rather slow.
Is there any way to set the column widths to match the data, and the Range to only go as far as the last populated row?
I found referred to writing a vba code such as the one below:
Sub Format()
Rows(x).entirerow.autofit
End Sub
I have tried a vba code such as the one above but the issue persists.
I have a worksheet with merged cells [horizontal]; each cell is also formatted to warp text.
The issue is that the row size or cell size [vertical] does not adjust when the user types more text than what the cell size can handle.
I am wondering within the Excel interface, is it possible to auto-fit the size of a comment box to its content?
I have searched the internet and found that a macro as follows could do the job:
Sub FitComments()
Dim c As Comment
For Each c In ActiveSheet.Comments
c.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True
Next c
End Sub
However, this Macro applies to and resize all of the the comment boxes in the active sheet.
I would like to just auto-fit the comment box only to the selected cell, or even better, to multiple selected cells.
I have a document that I created that has merged cells. In order to autofit the rows of this document, I referenced the merged cells in singular cells that are not visible to the users of the document. (They are not hidden)
It had been working relatively nicely, but now the autofit function is not working correctly. If I copy and paste values into the cell it will work, but this would not be my ideal solution. I have tried playing with the number format, which works for the most part if I set it to "&" - text. It doesn't work for some longer cells with line breaks in them.
Here's the details:
Same file shared by many users in the office. File is maybe 2200 rows long and 20 columns wide. Last column is a text field where users can explain variances. Cells in the last column are wrapped and the rows auto-fit on the height. Zoom is set at 100%.
One person opens the file and it looks fine on the screen. Print preview also looks fine. File prints out perfectly.
Another user opens the file and it looks fine on the screen. BUT, print preview shows that the bottom line or lines of text is cut off. File prints exactly like the preview showed with clipped text.
Both users can point the file to the same printer, but that doesn't seem to change anything. Still prints with text clipped for one person and perfectly for another...
what I'm after is a macro to check the contents of Column 'A' against column 'B' and display any duplicates in Columns 'C' & 'D'.
N.B. The headings of Columns C & D are :-
C = Value Found in Column A
D = Value Found in Column B
Any duplicate entries logged in columns C & D should be listed in C2,C3,C4....C20 and D2,D3,D4......D20 etc (in effect creating two new lists)

for example here i want to keep only gen, red and white columns only out of columns what i have in my data. I have so many columns in my original data but here i given just small example. How to proceed with macro or any other way because removing manually taking long time for me.
When I'm moving around in an Excel sheet, I want to have a keyboard shortcut that Autofits only the column I am "in", and only to the width of the cell I'm "in". So I can arrow-key into a cell, hit ctrl-shift-W or whatever, and the column will autofit.
I try Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit but that's not what I want, it autofits every column. Sometimes this is not appropriate and I want to do it manually for the columns I want auto-fit.
I guess the more general question is how do I write VBA code for the column I am in and not every column or a specific column - not Columns("A:I") or whatever, it's going to be a different column every time depending on what cell I'm editing.
