the ParseExcel-Gem is deprecated - please use its shiny new replacement:
gem install spreadsheet

and use Worksheet#dimensions:

in my ‘roo’ gem (http://rubyforge.org/projects/roo/):

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘roo’

s = Excel.new(“test/numbers1.xls”)
s.default_sheet = s.sheets.first
puts “first column: #{s.first_column}”
puts “last column: #{s.last_column}”
puts “number of non empty colums: #{s.last_column-s.first_column+1}”
puts “number of colums from ‘A’ to last column: #{s.last_column}”
