I am low vision and need to set a default font in Excel on my iPad that is easier to read. I need to change the Font to Helvetica of Sans Serif with a size of 16. I do not have a PC.

    Hello !

    Unfortunately, at the moment, it is not possible to change the default font in Excel for iPad.However, here's a workaround that might work out for you : create a spreadsheet to use as a “template.” In this spreadsheet, change the font to Helvetica and the font size to 16, as desired.
    Then, save it on your iPad.

    Every time you want to use Excel, duplicate this file to automatically use the predefined font and font size.

    For the Excel app interface, you can adjust the text size by going to iPad Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size.

    Please let me know if you have any other question !
