Add columns in Word

Hi, I want to add the columns in a word table. I know I can use the function command but that doesn't allow for empty cells. I used to have a macro that would add up all the columns including empty cells within the table. Can anyone help please?

Thank you so much :-)

Maybe something like this:

Code:

---

Sub AddCol()
    Dim t As Table
    Set t = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
    t.Columns.Add
    t.Columns.Autofit
End Sub

Hi, KiwiAlex! Will you, please, specify your request. How many columns and which ones would you like to add. It would be nice to see the table you are working with and the places of columns to add (e.g., "add a column to the right of column 3" or "add 3 columns to the left of column 5", etc.).

Here's a VBA macro that will add up the columns in a Word table, even if there are empty cells:

Code:

---

Sub AddColumns()   
    Dim tbl As Table
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long
    Dim sum As Double
    Set tbl = ActiveDocument.Tables(1) ' Adjust the table number if needed
    For j = 1 To tbl.Columns.Count
        sum = 0
        For i = 1 To tbl.Rows.Count
            Set rng = tbl.Cell(i, j).Range
            If rng.Text <> "" Then
                sum = sum + Val(rng.Text)
            End If
        Next i
        tbl.Cell(tbl.Rows.Count + 1, j).Range.Text = sum
    Next j
End Sub
