AutoFit an Entire Row Based on Text in a Specific Column Within the Row

[bonzo]

I need some VBA code for a situation where I have a row of 15 text cells and I want the auto-resize the entire row based the AutoFit of a particular column cell within the row. To explain in more detail, let's say that out of the 15 columns of text cells in a given row, column cells A-E, G-M, and O all have text such that the cell height is the standard 12.75, column cell N has a cell height of 50.00, and column cell F has a cell height of 25.00. With a normal AutoFit on the entire row, the row height would end up being 50.00. However, for presentation purposes, I want the row height for the entire row to be the row height of column cell F -- which would be 25.00 and would mean that only 25.00 worth of the text in column cell N would be visible. Is there an easy way to specify the entire row height to be AutoFit'ed based on a particular column cell within the row or do I have to write VBA code to manually check the required column cell height of column F and then manually set the row height for the entire row? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think height of All cells in one row is same, Is it your purpose width of Columns?
Then

Columns("A:E").ColumnWidth=columns("E").ColumnWidth
Columns("G:M").ColumnWidth=columns("F").ColumnWidth

For Rows Hieght

Rows("1:8").RowsHeight=Rows("9").RowsHeight

No, I'm not concerned with column width.

What about:

Range("A1:C1").RowsHeight.Autofit
Rows("1:2").RowsHeight=Rows("3").RowsHeight
Rows("4:6").RowsHeight=Rows("3").RowsHeight

Test this:

Sub RowsHeight()
Dim K As Double, H As Long, W As Long, Val As String
Val = Range("C1").Value
Rows("1").WrapText = False
Rows("1").AutoFit
H = Rows("1").Height
W = Columns("C").Width
K = Len(Val) / (W / 6)
Rows("1").WrapText = True
Rows("1:6").RowHeight = K * H
End Sub

Test this:

Sub RowsHeight()
Dim K As Double, H As Long, W As Long, Val As String
Val = Range("C1").Value
Rows("1").WrapText = False
Rows("1").AutoFit
H = Rows("1").Height
W = Columns("C").Width
K = Len(Val) / (W / 6)
Rows("1").WrapText = True
Rows("1:6").RowHeight = K * H
End Sub

I keep getting "Run-time error '1004': Unable to set the RowHeight property of the Range class" for the last line of code.

Are you change code? I don't Use Range at Last row. I use Row.
If You want Use range:

Range("A1:C6").EntireRow.RowHeight = K * H

If You want Use range:

Range("A1:C6").EntireRow.RowHeight = K * H

Okay, this helps. Because of the subroutine being used that processes one row of data at a time, I had to change "Range(A1:C6)" to "myWorkSheet.Rows(rowNum)". This code block now very is close to doing what I need it do. Thanks for the help so far. The problem now is that the "K * H" calculation ends up being too large of a number. The row height, for example, for one of my rows needs to be somewhere close to 71.25 points, but "K * H" ends up being 149.25 points. H = 16; W = 176; K = 9.3409090909.

I set based your C column Text length.
First you set column width. then if your column C length is very long change Range C1 to Cell is best fit for your purpose.

I'm thinking font and font size are missing from your calculations and that's why the height calculations are too high.
