'VBA to get the last column in row 10 that has a value.

'Change `10` to the row you care about:
With Sheet1
    LastCol = .Cells(10, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
End With


'A shorter way:
LastCol = Sheet1.[XFD10].End(xlToLeft).Column


'And to get the column of the last cell with a value
'just to the left of the FIRST blank cell HORIZONTALLY:
LastCol = Sheet1.[A10].End(xlToRight).Column

LastCol = LastUsedRow(Sheet1.[A1])

Function LastUsedCol(r As Range)
    On Error Resume Next
    r.Parent.AutoFilterMode = False
    With r.Cells.Find("*", r, xlFormulas, , , xlPrevious)
