I have a sheet called result and It has Products and Machines field
Machines.I am trying to count the number of columns the machines
have.Everytime I insert column my range changes.I have to insert column
if the depending on some validation.Default is two columns.That works
fine.When I insert another column it should give the count as 3 not 2.
I don't know if I should use Dynamic range or not.If I have to please
help me with the code.

Hi,

Sub TEST()

cnt = ActiveSheet.Range("D1").MergeArea.Columns.Count
MsgBox "Number of columns are " & cnt

End Sub


(In your file, D1 is the first cell of columns the Machines have.)
