Yes, my mistake.

It works perfectly fine now, thanks a lot sir.

OK, This is what I have, should be the same as yours?

For me its "72", but when I change all things according to your answer I get this error:

@smitaranjan just trying to understand what it is.dwg APSFL-01.csv

That's odd. if you create a piece of mtext, make a squared sign ( ² ) in it and then paste that into the command line using (ascii ) that should give you the code to use, for me it is 178, or copy this into the command line: (ascii "²")

and did you do this to get squared? (vla-setcellformat Area_table crow 1 (strcat "%lu2%pr3%ps[, m" (chr 178) "]"))

Perfect... you don't need our help then! EDIT If you make the table with the LISP and measure the distances I reckon within the LISP these numbers will appear somewhere - and they are the ones to change. Do a quick check of course that you aren't changing something odd. Cell heights are 1500? and cell widths are 7000? So if it was me I'd add this to the start of the code, perhaps under the (vl-load-com). and the comments should suggest what to change later in the code: I just picked a text height of 250 - change it to what you want, cellht and cellwd are keeping the cell sizes in proportion to the text in the original table. Change the 250 to what you want and the rest will follow, you could even go further and ask the user what text height to use (setq txtht 250) ;; Change all '500' to this (setq cellht (* 3 txtht)) ;; Change all 1500 to this (setq cellwd (* 14 txtht)) ;; Change 7000 to this Have a go and see what you can do.
