COLUMNS

The COLUMNS function returns the number of columns included in a specified collection of cells.

COLUMNS(range, headers)

range: A collection of cells. range must contain a reference to a single range of cells, which may contain any values.

headers: An optional modal value specifying whether to include header columns in the count of columns.

include-headers (0 or omitted): Include header columns in the count of columns.

exclude-headers (1): Exclude header columns from the count of columns.

Notes

If you select an entire table row for range, COLUMNS returns the total number of columns in the row, which changes when you resize the table.

Examples

=COLUMNS(B3:D10) returns 3, the number of columns in the collection specified by the range (columns B, C, and D).

=COLUMNS(5:5) returns the total number of columns in row 5.

=COLUMNS(A1:D10,0) returns 4, the number of columns in the collection specified by the range (columns A, B, C, and D), including the header column A.

=COLUMNS(A1:D10,1) returns 3, the number of columns in the collection specified by the range (columns A, B, C, and D), excluding the header column A.
