Sorry if I have posted in the wrong place or if it’s not suitable here. It’s really a software problem more than DIY but I hope someone can help me. If someone has an answer it could well be useful for others in building too.
It started when I decided to tile my kitchen wall, above my worktop. The area is ~70x280 cm and the tiles I want to use are 20x25 cm.
So clever me thinks I’ll use Excel to create tiles of 20x25 cm where I can get a better visual idea of the situation and how many tiles etc. (I’m using the word ‘clever’ very loosely ).
Firstly I select all cells by clicking in the top left hand corner
Next I use Format - Row - Height and enter the value 25
Next I use Format – Coulomb - Width and enter the value 20
You get something which is absolute nonsense! To put it a different way if you enter the value 20 for both height and width you would expect a square but instead you get a long thin rectangle. Try it if you don’t believe me.
What am I doing wrong?
I actually know Excel very well and have used it to do many things over the years but this has me stumped. The ‘Help’ is no use either BTW.
