To enlarge text in Google Sheets, select the cell or range, then choose a larger value from the toolbar’s font-size control. To remove strikethrough, select the affected cell or text and toggle off the strikethrough control. If the sheet only looks small on your screen, change zoom instead: zoom affects the view, not the cell’s formatting.
Make cell text bigger
- Select the cell or range whose text you want to change.
- In the toolbar at the top, open the font-size control.
- Choose a larger size. The selected cell content will use that font size.

Shortcuts can vary with keyboard or language settings. If one does not work, use the toolbar control. See Google’s keyboard shortcut reference.
Use zoom if the entire sheet looks too small
Open the zoom menu in the toolbar, located under 100%, and choose a setting from 50 to 200. This changes how large the sheet appears on screen; it does not change the font formatting in cells. Google explains the spreadsheet view options in its zoom and document view guide.
