I believe the ColumnWidth property will be zero if it's hidden

If Range("A1").ColumnWidth = 0 Then

You could also check that either the row or column for that range were
hidden

Range("A1").EntireRow.Hidden Or Range("a1").EntireColumn.Hidden

but I can't think why ColumnWidth wouldn't work, so I'd probably use that
one.
