How to hide columns in excel on mac

Answer

To hide columns in Excel on Mac, follow these steps:

   Click the column header (the letter at the top of the column). To select multiple columns, click and drag across the headers or hold Command (⌘) while clicking the headers.

2. Use the menu option

   • Go to the Format menu in the top menu bar.

   • Select Column → Hide.

3. Use the right-click option

   • Right-click on the selected column header.

   • Choose Hide from the context menu.

4. Use a keyboard shortcut

   • Press Command (⌘) + 0 to hide the selected column(s).

   • Ensure the column is selected; otherwise, the shortcut will not work.

How to unhide columns in Excel on Mac

1. Select columns around the hidden column
   Click the columns on either side of the hidden column.

2. Use the menu option

   • Go to Format → Column → Unhide.

3. Use the right-click option

   • Right-click on the selected columns.

   • Choose Unhide from the context menu.

4. Use a keyboard shortcut

   • Press Command (⌘) + Shift + 0 to unhide columns.

Notes

• Hiding columns does not delete the data. The data remains intact and can be referenced in formulas.

• Multiple non-contiguous columns can be hidden at the same time using Command (⌘) to select them.

• If keyboard shortcuts do not work, check the Mac system settings under Keyboard → Shortcuts, as some may conflict with system-level commands.

This method ensures your Excel sheet appears cleaner while preserving underlying data.
