For i = 1 To 256

Now that Excel 2007 is out, you should use Columns.Count rather than hard
coding 256.

Is there a formula that returns the first (or last) column that is
populated
in a row?

Row 6 has A6=blank, B6=1, C6=5, D6=4, E6=blank

If looking for the first number, I would like it to return Column B, for
the
last, Column D.

Thanks!
