Now if you return back to the Excel sheet, you will find that the text will autofit into the cells.
By using the code snippet, you can quickly and easily make Excel cells expand to fit text automatically. It saves you from the manual effort of adjusting cell sizes individually, especially when dealing with a large number of cells or frequently changing data.
