Automatically resize columns in Google sheets

Question

I would like to have columns on google sheets automatically resize to fit my text, without me having to manually resize them after every entry. How do I do this?

Answer 1

Sounds like you want autoResizeColumn. Make an AppScript script and you can put

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];

sheet.autoResizeColumn(COLUMN_NUMBER);

Which will resize the specified column based off its contents.

Run the function everytime you want to resize or put it in a trigger like onOpen().

However, it seems to have a maximum size that it will change to.
