What is how to hide columns in excel?

Here's how to hide columns in Excel:

You can hide columns in Excel to simplify your view, focus on relevant data, or prepare a sheet for presentation without deleting the hidden data. There are several methods:

• Using the Right-Click Menu: Select the column(s) you want to hide by clicking on the column header(s) (e.g., A, B, C). Right-click on any of the selected column headers. Choose "Hide" from the context menu. This is a quick and easy method.

• Using the Format Menu: Select the column(s) you wish to hide. Go to the "Home" tab on the ribbon. In the "Cells" group, click "Format." Under "Visibility," select "Hide & Unhide," then click "Hide Columns." This is another option for hiding the columns.

• Using Keyboard Shortcut: Select the column(s) to be hidden. Press Ctrl + 0 (zero). This is a fast keyboard shortcut. This may not work on some laptops where the number keys do not have a zero.

Unhiding Columns:

• Selecting Adjacent Columns: To unhide, select the columns before and after the hidden column(s). For example, if column B is hidden, select columns A and C. Right-click on either selected column header (A or C) and choose "Unhide".

• Selecting the Entire Sheet: You can also select the entire sheet by clicking the small triangle in the upper-left corner (where the row and column headers meet). Then, right-click on any column header and select "Unhide". Alternatively, you can select the whole sheet and go to Home > Format > Visibility > Hide & Unhide > Unhide Columns.

• Using the Keyboard Shortcut: To unhide after selecting surrounding columns, use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + 0.
