Autosize cells as data is entered

Thank you, Gord!

Note that I did have a slight issue where the resized cells were becoming
locked after editing, but I stole a line of code (ma.Locked = False) from
another post, and that seems to solve the issue.

Thanks again.

will this work for data that has already been entered into my sheet or will
this only work on a new sheet and any data entered after it is applied?

Only works when entering new data or editing existing data.

I added the VBA to an existing worksheet and although it didn't expand my
rows as soon as I added the code, as soon as I typed into the cell again the
row expanded and stayed expanded. I hope that helps!

Thanks for the code - and the specific instructions where to add it (rt-clk
on the tab). I never knew that and always wondered how code was being added!!

Thanks again!

To autofit existing rows after you added the code, select a cell and F2 then
ENTER

This is same as typing in the cell.

Hi,

Although this code works with cells where data is actually in it, I need it to work where the cell contains text that has been linked from another sheet.

Can anyone help?

thanks

Autosize cells as data is entered
Hello.

I have my cells set to Wrap & the row is set to Auto-Fit. The "Number" is
set to General.

When I add text, it wraps, however, the cell-size is not changing! What do
I have to do to get the cell (or row height) to grow as text is added?

If this is the case and you are interested in the code, post back.

It is the case! I think we were both responding to my post at the same

it!

Here is event code from Greg Wilson.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim NewRwHt As Single
Dim cWdth As Single, MrgeWdth As Single
Dim c As Range, cc As Range
Dim ma As Range

With Target
If .MergeCells And .WrapText Then
Set c = Target.Cells(1, 1)
cWdth = c.ColumnWidth
Set ma = c.MergeArea
For Each cc In ma.Cells
MrgeWdth = MrgeWdth + cc.ColumnWidth
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ma.MergeCells = False
c.ColumnWidth = MrgeWdth
c.EntireRow.AutoFit
NewRwHt = c.RowHeight
c.ColumnWidth = cWdth
ma.MergeCells = True
ma.RowHeight = NewRwHt
cWdth = 0: MrgeWdth = 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If
End With
End Sub

This is sheet event code. Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code".

Copy/paste the above into that sheet module.

As you enter data the rows will autofit.
