Change Row Height in Range of Spreadsheet Cells

This example shows how to change the height of a row, defined by a Range object, in a spreadsheet.

The Excel® Range object is a property that takes input arguments. MATLAB® treats such a property as a method. Use the methods function to get information about creating a Range object.

Create a Worksheet object ws.

e = actxserver('Excel.Application');
wb = Add(e.Workbooks);
e.Visible = 1;
ws = e.Activesheet;

Display the default height of all the rows in the worksheet.

ws.StandardHeight

ans =

    15

Display the function syntax for creating a Range object. Search the displayed list for the Range entry: handle Range(handle,Variant,Variant(Optional))

Create a Range object consisting of the first row.

wsRange = Range(ws,'A1');

Increase the row height.

wsRange.RowHeight = 25;

Open the worksheet, click in row 1, and notice the height.

Close the workbook without saving.

wb.Saved = 1;
Close(e.Workbook)

Close the application.
