The file shouldnt save if data isnt entered into any of these columns.

well thats the problem, the user can go on creating rows and rows of data.
but in the end when he/she saves, the columns for those rows should have
some data.

When do you consider a row "Created"?

Still not specific enough. If you know how many rows you could just add up
the columns and divide by the rows and if not the proper number then don't
save.

Assumes col A has an entry by which to count the number of rows

mtotal =
Application.CountA(Sheets("sheet9").Range("c2,d2,h 2,j2").EntireColumn)
needed = Application.CountA(Sheets("sheet9").Columns(1)) * 4
If mtotal < needed Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox needed
End If
