Another option is to use an Array/CSE formula to get the min and max columns that are populated for the row:
=MAX(IF(A1:X1>0, COLUMN(A1:X1))) - MIN(IF(A1:X1>0, COLUMN(A1:X1)))
This gets the max column number and the min column number that have data and subtracts them. Because it's an Array/CSE formula, use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to enter it.

Use MATCH:
=MATCH(1E+99,A1:P1)-MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(A1:P1<>"",),0)
Change the 1E+99 to "ZZZ" if the values are text instead of numbers.
