This formula returns the column width of the cell it is in: =CELL("width")

It rounds to the nearest integer however. If you wanted something more
exact you'd have to use a macro. If you put this in a standard module:

Function ColWidth()
Application.Volatile
ColWidth = Application.ThisCell.ColumnWidth
End Function

Then you can enter =ColWidth() in a cell.
