Auto Adjust Rows & Columns Size

Resizing rows and columns in a spreadsheet saves space and improves readability. IronXL for Python includes built-in methods to auto-resize rows and columns based on their content. Because this is done programmatically in Python, the resize methods can be applied across all existing rows and columns, fully automating what would otherwise be a manual task in Excel.

Auto Resize Rows

The AutoSizeRow method automatically adjusts the height of the specified row based on the length of its content. An overload of AutoSizeRow accepts a second Boolean parameter—when set to True, the height calculation takes merged cells into account.

Auto Resize Columns

Use the AutoSizeColumn method to resize the width of a column based on its content length. Similar to AutoSizeRow, an overload is available that considers the width of merged cells when True is passed as the second parameter.

Please note that all row and column positions use zero-based indexing.
