Column/row measurements.

[1 of 1]

Instead of the number system used for the height/width of columns & rows,
can it be changed to measure in millimetres or centimetres?
Even inches would be preferable to the default numbering system.

Hola,

No es posible por una cuestion de diseño de Excel.

Row heights are measured in points or pixels. There are 72 points to an inch
and "maybe" 96 pixels to the 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.

For an interesting and enlightening discussion on this subject see

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

Ole Erlandson has code for setting row and column dimensions.
