The column disappears from view so you cannot see it. You will notice its heading is missing, so if column H was hidden you would see column G and then column I. The values in column H can still be used in the worksheet by referencing them in the normal way. Hiding columns can be useful for hiding data that you do not want to be seen or that you do not want users to change or that does not need to be seen. It can be used to put in supporting data to a worksheet rather than having it cluttering up the screen by being visible.
