How do you edit items in entire column in Excel?

Answer 1

To make changes to an entire column in excel, click on the column heading (letter at the top of the column) and make your desired changes.

EXAMPLE (Make all text in column C align center):

1. Click on the column "C" at the top of Column C. [This will highlight the entire column.]
2. Click on the BOLD text formatting option. [You might need to click two or three times, if some text is bold and some is not.]
3. Observe that all all text in Column C is bold.

Answer 2

Select the column, where you want the new one to be. There is an insert menu at the top of your screen on old versions of Excel. When you click on it it brings down a few options. The third option is column. You can right click on a column header and choose the Insert Column option.

On newer versions of Excel, on the Home tab, in the cells group, you can choose Insert.

You can't. The number of columns is fixed in each version of Excel. You can't add any more or reduce them. You can insert and delete columns, but the actual amount of columns in Excel does not actually change.

There are various ways, depending on what you want to do. You can select the entire column and then do things, like delete the column, change width, change formatting, delete the items in the column etc. You can put things into all the cells by selecting the column, typing something into the first cell and then press Ctrl-Enter. This will fill the entire column with whatever you type. You can do some of the Paste Special operations, like add, multiply, subtract or divide. You can apply them to the entire column. So there are many things you can do and ways to do it.
