# What is the unit of row height and column width in Excel?
10+
11+
By default, XlsIO uses **points** as the unit of measurement for both row height and column width.
12+
13+
Use <a href="https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.XlsIO.IWorksheet.html#Syncfusion_XlsIO_IWorksheet_SetColumnWidth_System_Int32_System_Double_">SetColumnWidth</a>
14+
and <a href="https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.XlsIO.IWorksheet.html#Syncfusion_XlsIO_IWorksheet_SetRowHeight_System_Int32_System_Double_">SetRowHeight</a> to set dimensions in points.
15+
16+
Use <a href="https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.XlsIO.IWorksheet.html#Syncfusion_XlsIO_IWorksheet_GetColumnWidth_System_Int32_">GetColumnWidth</a> and <a href="https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.XlsIO.IWorksheet.html#Syncfusion_XlsIO_IWorksheet_GetRowHeight_System_Int32_">GetRowHeight</a> to retrieve dimensions in points.
17+
18+
If you need pixel values, XlsIO provides pixel based APIs: <a href="https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.XlsIO.IWorksheet.html#Syncfusion_XlsIO_IWorksheet_GetColumnWidthInPixels_System_Int32_">GetColumnWidthInPixels</a>, <a href="https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.XlsIO.IWorksheet.html#Syncfusion_XlsIO_IWorksheet_GetRowHeightInPixels_System_Int32_">GetRowHeightInPixels</a>, <a href="https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.XlsIO.IWorksheet.html#Syncfusion_XlsIO_IWorksheet_SetColumnWidthInPixels_System_Int32_System_Int32_">SetColumnWidthInPixels</a>, <a href="http://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.XlsIO.IWorksheet.html#Syncfusion_XlsIO_IWorksheet_SetRowHeightInPixels_System_Int32_System_Double_">SetRowHeightInPixels</a>.
