The default measurement unit in Excel seems to be Imperial
(inches). Can this be set to Metric (millimeters)?

This is a Windows OS setting, not an Excel setting.

You would go to Windows Control Panel>Regional and Language
Options>Regional Options tab>Customize and set the "measurement system" to
Metric.

This option will affect all programs.

Many thanks Gord - the International was set to US, so I
was able to change it to Metric.
