Manual Row Adjustment
The quickest way to adjust a row’s height is manually. Position your cursor over the line that separates two-row numbers in the row header. When the cursor changes to a line with up-and-down arrows, click and drag to set the row to your preferred size. This method is fast and straightforward, although it might lack the precision required for uniform row heights.

Setting a Specific Row Height
For more precise control over your row heights, Google Sheets allows you to set specific measurements. First, select the row or rows you wish to adjust by clicking their numbers in the row header. Right-click and choose ‘Resize row’ from the context menu. A dialog box will appear where you can input the exact row height in pixels. This approach is ideal for when you need uniformity across multiple rows or a specific height. While this method is more precise than manual adjustment, it can be more time-consuming, especially if you have many rows to adjust. For frequent and large-scale adjustments, consider using a script or an add-on to automate the process for efficiency.
