Have a data set which results in column widths required to be set at a specific width. Is there a way to perform this task, the data can extend to many more than the example below.

Auto fit does not work since the data in some cells may be larger.

example


Range("A1").ColumnWidth = 14.5
Range("B1").ColumnWidth = 22#
Range("C1").ColumnWidth = 23.5
Range("D1").ColumnWidth = 8.5
Range("E1").ColumnWidth = 28.5
Range("F1").ColumnWidth = 12.5

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
You mean like this

Code:
Columns("A:A").AutoFit
 Columns("B:B").AutoFit
 Columns("C:C").AutoFit

Another option would be
Code:
Sub ColWidth()

   Dim Col As Range
   For Each Col In Range("A1", Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft))
      Col.ColumnWidth = Len(Col)
   Next Col

End Sub
This will set the col width depending on the length of the value in row 1 for each col. If needed you could also use this
Code:
Col.ColumnWidth = Len(Col)+3
to make the cols a little bit wider
