The only (practical) way I know is to copy the text to a cell out of the
way. Autofit. Compare the widths of the columns.

Only interested in scenarios where cell A1 has data, is not completely
displayed,
and cell B1 also has data - In that scenario, A1 needs to be autofitted,
since B1 covers it- (example works with any adjoining cells). Is the only
way
to calculate
the column width and length of text in A1? - is there a way to do that
calculation accurately (since column text can vary based on characters)?

Is it possible using vba to detect if data in a cell column is not
being
completely displayed? The idea is to then use autofit on that column.
