Excel is a fantastic tool for performing complex
calculations. Excel is mostly used for professional purposes. We may need to
share worksheets with a colleague or show our data using an excel file. We
can't just reveal everything since some spreadsheets or workbooks include
sensitive company information. If you hide a column in an Excel spreadsheet, no
one else can see the data in that column. You may, of course, simply show them
later.
When you have a large amount of data on your spreadsheet,
concealing information in Excel is also useful. For computations or reporting,
we may need to refer to various data from a worksheet. In a report, however,
not all data is relevant. We simply require the most essential information.
Hide a column in Excel is an excellent option if this is the case. You'll be
able to use the information from the concealed rows while keeping them hidden
from others.
There are numerous ways to hide a column in Microsoft Excel,
and I'll show you the three most effective and time-saving methods in this
Excel lesson for beginners.
Using the mouse, hide a column in Excel: Assume you wish to
conceal Column A. The first step is to choose a column to work with. By
clicking on the column name, you may select a whole column. It's A in this
situation. As a result, if you click on A, the entire column A will be selected.
The context menu will display when you right-click on any chosen cell in column
A. Now click Hide and you're done!
Using the menu in MS Excel, hide a column: The second option
is to select the full column that needs to be hidden and then hide it. Now
choose the format menu from the home tab. Hover your cursor over "Hide
& Unhide" in the "Visibility" column. From the selection
menu, choose "Hide Columns."
Using a Keyboard Shortcut to Hide a Column in Excel: Quick
workflow necessitates the use of keyboard shortcuts. To be productive with
Excel, you must understand and use keyboard shortcuts. In Excel, there are two
shortcuts for hiding columns. CTRL+0 is the first (Zero). To conceal a cell in
