How to check if cell contents overflow.
Hi,
Does anyone know how to find out if the contents of a cell in a Excel Worksheet overflow in the cell? Using string length does not work ideally as some characters take up more room than others. TIA Alan |

How to check if cell contents overflow.
If it is the longest string in the column.
record the column width, then autofit the column - record the width, then restore the old width. Compare the old width to the autofit width. It the autofit width is larger. Otherwise, you might have to create a dummy sheet. Copy over the cell and perform the above test, then delete the sheet. Beyond that, I think you would need to get into some heavy API work. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Alan Savage" wrote in message ...
