Row height/column width

How can I equate the size of row and column with inches? If I want a column
to be 1" wide and the row 1/2" high, how do I do it? I have a work-around,
but it is tedious. I've discovered that 36 is the height for 1/2" and 13 is
the width for 1". But that is by creating a box by that size and sizing the
column and row to fit it. That's the only way I know to get the size of
column and row I want, but surely there is a simpler way of doing this!

Height is measured in points (72 points to the inch)
Width is measured in points (12 points to the inch)
