Calculate indention tabs in character count?

I have a massive current 3000 line program in ms project.. It will expand as we expect upwards of 1000 projects within.

We are required to weekly print out the full project (I don't know why, other than told to..)

So to have some fun I decided to create a macro to set the columns in specific order and width, then go back and open cells according to text in either Task or Notes.

Attached works to a point. It does not take into consideration of the tabbed tasks for inserted projects. Does anyone know how to calculate tab in task column for sizing?

Solutions welcome... BTW I know this could be cleaner have not coded at this level for years.

Thanks PD.
