Is there any shortcut in excel that will enlarge the entire column width & row height by using keyboard?

2Please explain exactly what you want to achieve. Just one column and all rows? All rows and all columns? Do you want each cell to expand to show the complete contents? Do you have wrap text enabled? Do you have merged cells? With merged cells, no macro or keyboard shortcut will help. You will need to adjust the cell height manually. You may want to post a link to a sample file. If you cannot yet post a link since you are a new user, just post the URL. People here will know how to make that into a link.– teylynDec 17, 2013 at 8:01

In Excel 2010, you can do this using keyboard navigation of the ribbon. Alt-H-O gets you to the Format menu, from which you can press H for Row Height or W for Column Width. Alternatively, by right-clicking the menu (or any item on it), you can add it to the Quick Access Toolbar at the top of the window, which means you can get to it using Alt and 1-9 (the number row on your keyboard).
(This isn't special knowledge - just press Alt to flash up keyboard shortcuts on each menu item.)
You could use a macro. But I'd tend to discourage this since it breaks Undo functionality.

pres alt then press h then press o and then press i, Excel will expand the width of that column to fit the content in the cell you selected, so you can first use ctrl + shift + upor downor left or rightarrow key to select content,then you then alt,h,o,i key sequences.
