Default Has Text Enough Space in a cell

I find it simpler to use Autofit.

Hello,

I would like to test if myValue has enough space (place) to be written in
a cell.

I know the width of my cell with

Set selected_cell = Target.Cells(1, 1)
Debug.Print selected_cell .Width

What is the width of the value?

Dim myValue as string
myValue = "a value from database"

selected_cell.value = myValue

Reason: I would like that the whole value has place in the cell, otherwise
I would shorten the value.

I need A function like width(cell, myValue) this depends on the font in
the cell
Any Hints

Thanks
Marcel
