Set the row height to autofit in all workshets and increase that height by 4 points (by means of VBA)

Dear Experts:

For the currently active workbook I would like to run a macro that performs the following actions ...
... on all worksheets with the exception of a sheet named 'DataSource'

Set the row height of the second row of all the worksheets to autofit and increase the resulting row height (could be different in every worksheet) by 4 points.

Help is much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Regards, Andreas

You may try something like this...

Sub RowHeightAutofit()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
    If ws.Name <> "DataSource" Then
        ws.Rows(2).AutoFit
        ws.Rows(2).RowHeight = ws.Rows(2).RowHeight + 4
    End If
Next ws
End Sub

As far as I understood, you want only row 2 to be autofit and after that all the rows height must be increase by 4. If that's the case you may try below:
Sub AutoAdjustRowHeight()
Dim Ws As Worksheet
Dim LR As Long
Dim Rng As Range
For Each Ws In Worksheets
    If Ws.Name <> "DataSource" Then
    LR = Ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Set Rng = Ws.Range("A3:A" & LR)
        Ws.Rows(2).AutoFit
        Rng.Rows.RowHeight = Rng.Rows.RowHeight + 4
    End If
Next Ws
End Sub

Open in new window

Change the column A to actual column which has last row, accordingly adjust Rng

I think you misunderstood the requirement. :)
The requirement was like this...
Set the row height of the second row of all the worksheets to autofit and increase the resulting row height (could be different in every worksheet) by 4 points.

Dear both,

thank you very much for your professional help. Subodh was right in his assessment of my requirements.

Subodh: Although your code looks logical and good to me, it regrettably does not work. Any idea why?

Regards, Andreas

Well it should work. I tested it with some dummy data and it worked.
BTW what's not working at your end?

If that's the case then Neeraj's code is working perfectly with me as well. Unless you have Wrap Text in second row of any sheet.
