I am looking for some help with inserting a blank column
every 9 columns, the count needs to start from and include
Column D and then every 9 columns insert a blank column
unless the column is allready there, I have code that
checks for a blank column and resizes it, I just need the
portion to insert the blank column if it doesn't exist

thanks
Nigel

The column is always there, all the way up to 256. What exactly do you mean?

Sorry I wasn't more specific, if the column is blank
ignore it otherwise insert the blank column, I already
have code that will let me know if the column is blank, I
am looking for something that would insert a column every
9 columns starting from column d

This should do it then

For i = 256 To 4 Step -9
If Application.Count(Columns(i)) 0 Then
Columns(i).EntireColumn.Insert
End If
Next i

Hi
Try

Sub InsertBlankColumns()
Dim wStart%
Dim wStep%
Dim iCol%

wStart = 4
wStep = 9
iCol = wStart
Do While iCol < 256
'check if iCol is blank
'if this means that there is not data in the cells
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Sheet1.Column s(iCol)) < 0
Then
Sheet1.Columns(iCol).EntireColumn.Insert
End If
iCol = iCol + wStep
Loop

End Sub
