Inserting columns
 

I have a number of spreadsheets where I need to go through and insert two
columns at 26 places in each spreadsheet. I'm trying to make this a little
faster by writing a VBA macro that I can run with keystrokes. What I tried
to do was tell it select the column that I am currently in and insert two
columns to the right of that column. The problem I am having is that it is
inserting the columns to the left instead of the right. I can't figure out
why. Here's the code I've written:

With ActiveCell
.EntireColumn.Select
End With
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight

Any help would be appreciated.

try this but you really don't have to use the active cell.

Sub inserttwocolums()
x = ActiveCell.Row
y = ActiveCell.Column
Range(Cells(x, y), Cells(x, y + 1)).EntireColumn.Insert
End Sub

Either select the cell to the right either manually or via code.

activecell.offset(0,1).resize(1,2).entirecolumn.in sert

Hi FinChase,

Try:
ActiveCell(1, 2).Resize(1, 2).EntireColumn.Insert

If the 26 positions can be identified by a given rule, then your macro could
be adapred to insert all the required columns on each worksheet.

Inserting columns
 

Is it possible to insert a column into the first row programmatically
using C#. I tried using
wsSales.Columns.EntireColumn.Insert(Excel.XlInsert ShiftDirection.xlShiftToRight);


but it does not work. I even tried using a range and then inserting a
column before that range but that didn't work either. Please help!
