Dynamically resizing Excel Web Access Web Part by Paul Grenier
Posted by: Toni Frankola In: SharePoint 
Paul Grenier is witting an impressive series on EndUserSharePoint.com on how to use JQuery to improve SharePoint look’n'feel. Few weeks ago I emailed him with a challenge: “…create a script to resize EWA [Excel Web Access] web part automatically to match content inside.”.
Excel Web Access web parts are great, but if you are using them to display external data (e.g. PivotTable that displays data from external database) it is hard to “predict” how many rows will be returned.
The web part is using IFRAME to display its content, and it does NOT resize automatically to match content being displayed. Paul is the Master of JQuery and he managed to solve this problem. Original article with Javascript code.
Thank you Paul!
