Getting Column width using macro..
 

I need some help creating a macro in MS Excel.

Say I have a worksheet with 20+ columns of various column
widths. All I need is to get the size of each column and
put it in a cell of the respective column.

If the cursor was placed on a row where the column
headings are available, I want the macro,

to get width of respective column and save it in the next
row
go to next column and do step 1
stop when no more columns are available (say it reaches
the empty cell)


After executing the macro, the Worksheet should look
something like this:

A B C D E
Name ID DOB Comment
15.14 8.43 11.14 25

Thanks in Advance for the help.

I ran this code as a quick test on Column A


Columns("A:A").ColumnWidth = 15
Cells(1, 1).Select
ActiveCell = Selection.ColumnWidth


Hope that helps.

KM,

If Don's reply does not suit, this code will work out the last column and
add the column widths

Sub Widths()
Dim cLastCol As Long
Dim i As Long

cLastCol = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
For i = 1 To cLastCol
Cells(2, i) = Columns(i).Width
Next

End Sub
