    Fonts Display Row Height

    Hi

    When you adjust a row height by dragging a tool-tip pops up with the height data, is it possible to display the row height data in a cell that updates when the height is changed.
    I have used vb in access but never in excel so any suggestions would be welcome, this may seem a strange but excel autosizes cells to fit fonts, therefore I can develop a reference table for varying fonts at varying point sizes.


    Many Thanks

    Unfortunately modifying the height of a cell is not a "volatile function" and as such does not invoke a calculation.

    End result: you can't get the cell to update with the revised height value as and when the row is resized - a calculation would need to be invoked manually.

    Many thanks for your swift & informative reply, I will resort to creating my ref table manually.

    Cheers
