Using cm or mm instead of pixels for height/width

Hi there, I have checked help, I have checked the forums and all seem to agree that to change the units from pixels to another unit i.e. cm or mm, you should go to advanced options and in the drop down box, change to your required unit. I have tried this on multiple occasions today and even rebooted the pc to see if that works. All to no avail, the units are stubbornly staying in pixels, please does anyone have an idea of how I can remedy this?

Many thanks

Lee

        Hi, thank You for Your answer. I don't know how i would use page layout for my issue, i want to solve how to change settings for column width and row height.

        For instance i know a box label is 204*38mm, so when i go to excell, i want to be able to set column width to 204 mm and row height to 38 mm (for instance as is possible on Google Sheets).
