How is the height of a fishnet calculated?
Determines the height of each cell. If you want the height to be automatically calculated using the value in the Number of Columns parameter, leave this parameter empty or set the value to zero—the height will be calculated when the tool is run. Determines the number of rows the fishnet will have.
