The auto-fit column width, which you can do by placing the cursor between the border of the column headings of the column you want to widen and the column to its right. You will get a bar with two arrows showing on it and if you then double click, it will widen the column to the appropriate size to fit the widest entry.

In Microsoft Excel sometimes I type a lot and it replaces my text with a bunch of number signs how do I get rid of that?
If the contents of a cell are too big to display within that cell Excel will use empty cells to the right to display it in full. However, if adjacent cells aren't empty Excel will display ##### to indicate that the column is not wide enough to display the contents. Make the column wider by dragging the right hand border of the column header to the right. If you double click instead of dragging the column will re-size itself to accommodate the longest entry.
