Press the Shift key and hold it and click the edge of the selected area and drag to the left, until you see a heavy line between the column to the left and the column left of that one. The column will be moved and be swapped with the column to its left when you let go. If you just want to move over to and empty column, you can drag over without pressing shift, or do a cut and paste.

When sorting a column do the cells in a row move together?

Sorting only affects the selected area in a spreadsheet. The cells in the rows of columns selected will move. Cells on the same row but not in the columns that have been selected will not move.Sorting only affects the selected area in a spreadsheet. The cells in the rows of columns selected will move.

How do you break particular data of vertical to horizontal in Excel?

You can transpose data. Select the cells in a column. Do a copy. Move to where you want the data to go to. Then do a Paste Special and pick Transpose. The orientation of the data will be changed so that it is now in a row rather than a column.


Is a row straight across or up and down?

A row would go across and a column would be going down. Example would best be found in a spreadsheet software application (I.E. EXCEL). You would insert a row and move other cells down or insert a column to move other cells to the side.


What are the steps for adjusting the columns width?

There are several ways to adjust column width in Excel:Select at least one cell in each of the columns you want to adjust, then select the funtion from the menu bar. In Excel 2007, it's Home/Cells/Format/Column Width. If you selected one column, or if all of the columns you selected are the same width, it will show the current width in the window. Type the new width you want then press Enter or click OK.Another way to access that same window from the Excel 2007 menu is to type Alt+H O W.The rest of these methods are good for any version of Excel. In the column heading, the box above the top cell of the column containing the column letter, position the cursor on the right edge of the box. The cursor should change to a short vertical line with arrows pointing left and right. Press and hold the left mouse button. You will see the current column width. While continuting to press the mouse button, move the mouse left or right to your desired column width, then release the button.If you select several entire columns then do the previous procedure on any of the selected columns, all of the selected columns will have the new column width when you release the mouse button. To select an entire column you click on the column heading. To select several, you can either position the mouse in the column heading, press and hold the left mouse button as you move the cursor horizontally to the last column you want to select, then release the button, or after selecting the first column click on the headings of additional columns while pressing Ctrl.To automatically resize a column to fit the cell of the column with the most contents, double click the right edge of the column's heading.If you select several entire columns then double click the right edge of the heading of any one of them, each of the selected columns will be fitted to its own widest cell.


What is difference between Delete and Hide Column in Excel?

Delete completely gets rid of a column. Columns to the right of it all move over. So if you deleted column D, column E would become column D. Hiding a column makes it disappear from view, but it is still part of the spreadsheet and can be hidden. If you hid column D, you would still see column C and to the right of it would be column E. You can still use cells in columns that are hidden in formulas.


How do you make certain rows on Excel move to the next column example A8 A10 A12 move to B7 B9 B11?

When copying or moving cells if data already exists in the destination cells Excel?

When copying cells in Excel to a destination where data already exists, you can choose to either replace the existing data with the copied data, keep the existing data and not copy over it, or merge the copied data with the existing data. When moving cells in Excel to a destination where data already exists, the original cells will be replaced by the moved cells.


How do you move comma separated data inside an Excel cell to their own cells?

One way would be to copy the data into a text file, using Notepad perhaps, and then save the file and open it with Excel. The text will then be in different cells. You could then copy that data back into the original Excel file.

Do inserted cells affect the position of existing cells in Microsoft Office Excel 2007?

Yes.When you select "Insert" under the "Home" tab, a menu appears to ask whether you want to shift the cells to the right or move them down in relation to the cell that you are adding. The other cells (to the left and/or above the inserted cell) are not affected. There is also the option to either shift the entire column or row on this menu. Selecting either of these options will more drastically affect the position of the existing cells so you should carefully check your data to make sure that the correct information is still in the correct column/row.

If you keep pressing the Ctrl and End keys, you will move past blocks of data to reach the last column. You can also use the GOTO command, by pressing the F5 key. If you are using versions of Excel up to version 2003, then you could enter IV1 to get to the last column, or XFD1 in versions from 2007 onwards.
