I am not a programmer but that doesnt seem to take into account the values in
row 8.
It will come in handy for something else though.

Hi,

Can anyone help with code to do the following:

Row E8:AI8 - each cell contains a value 0 to 100, generally a value of 1
to
20. The total of the row is maximum 100.
I would like to adjust the width of the column based on the values for
each
column.
The minimum width would need to be 6 so text is still readable.

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure why you say that... the code line I posted sizes each column in
the range to the contents of the widest value in the column (which, unless I
completely misunderstood what you were asking for, I believe is what your
initial posting was suggesting you wanted to do). If you didn't already do
so, give it a try and see how it works.

Hi Rick,

Probably my poor communication skills are the issue. Columns E to AI need to
be resized based on values in row 8 only. Other rows contain data that needs
to be ignored.

Your formula seems to resize the columns based on the value in all the rows.

Ah, I missed the Row 8 part. Give this a try then...

Range("E8:AI8").Columns.AutoFit
