    Column Width?

    I pasted the code in a module. I wasnt sure how to call it exactly so I used =IsHidden(B2) as I was able to use in the sample i provided. How are you calling it... or a better question how are you using it on a sheet? I am not familiar how to use it on a sheet and not through the vb edit panes.

    Column Width?

    The first piece of code above works for rows, however I changed Rows.Height to Columns.Width and the second one did not work. I tried your code calling it from =IsHidden(B2) and hid both the row and the column... neither of which changed the value to True
