Auto-Fitting Excel Tables with VBA
Managing data in Excel can sometimes be cumbersome, especially when handling multiple tables across a single worksheet. A common challenge that many users face is ensuring that each table is precisely sized to fit the data it contains. If you've encountered the issue where your tables expand to the last row of all the data in the spreadsheet instead of adjusting to their individual rows, you're in the right place! In this guide, we'll guide you through an efficient method to auto-fit your Excel tables using VBA. Let’s dive in!
Understanding the Problem
You might have a worksheet with several single-column tables that you want to dynamically resize. Your current approach works to some extent but doesn’t consider the specific height relevant to each column. Instead, it pulls the height from the entire sheet’s data, which often leads to unnecessary row heights for tables that contain fewer entries.
The Solution: Auto-Fit Each Table Individually
To fix the issue, we'll use a VBA script that will automatically adjust each table’s size to only display the data available within that specific table's column. Below, we walk through the revised VBA code that accomplishes this goal.
Step-by-Step Code Explanation
Here’s the improved VBA code you’ll use:

Breakdown of the Code
Init Setup:
The code begins by turning off screen updating to enhance performance during the resizing process.
It then sets a reference to the worksheet you're working with (in this case, "Sheet1").
Loop Through Each Table:
Using a For Each loop, the code iterates over each table (ListObject) present in the specified worksheet.
Determine Column and Last Row:
For each table, we capture its starting column and calculate the last row with data in that column using End(xlUp).Row. This is a critical step, ensuring we know how many rows of data to keep visible.
Resize the Table:
Finally, each table is resized with the tbl.Resize method to include only the necessary data rows.
Screen Updating:
The code ends by turning screen updating back on for smoother user interaction post-operation.
Why This Approach Works
This method is effective because it:
Focuses on individual tables rather than the entire sheet, ensuring efficient use of space.
Automatically adjusts as data changes, making it adaptable for future use without having to adjust the code.
Easy to implement, even for those new to VBA programming.
Conclusion
With this new VBA script, auto-fitting your Excel tables to their individual data columns has never been easier. Adapting to data changes ensures your spreadsheets stay organized, professional, and, most importantly, user-friendly. Whether you’re managing project data, financial records, or inventory lists, this solution will streamline your efforts considerably.
