Tom,

I didn't realize you could do that - very cool. I was trying to think of a
solution to cover down to if 0 #'s are displayed. This is what I came up
with, but I'm guessing I missed something:

For Each cell In Range("A2:Z2")
If (Len(cell.Text) = 0 And cell.Value < "") Or InStr(1, cell.Text, "#",
vbTextCompare) Then
cell.EntireColumn.AutoFit
End If
Next

What do you think?

If a column is not wide enough for the displayed number, it shows #
signs.
In VBA is there a way to detect which cells in which columns have that
###
so I can use column autofit to set to the width needed?
