Zoom in on a worksheet

You can change how Excel displays your worksheets; zoom in on worksheet data; add frequently used commands to the Quick Access Toolbar; hide, display, and reorder ribbon tabs; and create custom tabs to make groups of commands readily accessible.

One way to make Excel easier to work with is to change the app’s zoom level. You can change the zoom level from the ribbon (View) or by using the Zoom control in the lowerright corner of the Excel window.
