How do you hide a column in excel

Answer

To hide a column in Excel, follow these steps:

1. Select the column you want to hide by clicking on the column letter at the top of the spreadsheet.

2. Right-click the selected column.

3. Choose Hide from the context menu.

The column will disappear from view, but the data within it remains intact.

Alternative Methods

1. Using the Ribbon:

   • Select the column.

   • Go to the Home tab.

   • In the Cells group, click Format → Hide & Unhide → Hide Columns.

2. Using a Keyboard Shortcut:

   • Select the column.

   • Press Ctrl + 0 on Windows.

   • Press Command + 0 on Mac.

Notes

• Hidden columns do not appear when printing unless print settings are adjusted.

• You can hide multiple columns by selecting them before applying the hide function.

• Hiding does not delete any formulas or data; it only makes the column invisible.
