There are three methods for inserting/deleting columns and rows:
- Select the column or row >> Right click >> Delete/Insert
- Select the column or row >> HOME >> Cells group >> Insert/Delete
- Keyboard shortcut alternative
Select entire column (CTRL + SpaceBar) or entire row (Shift + SpaceBar)
Insert column/row (CTRL + Shift + "+"0) or Delete column/row (CTRL + "-")
There are two methods for hiding columns or rows:
- Right click >> Hide
- HOME >> Cells group >> Format >> Hide
Grouping Rows and Columns:
- Grouping creates an expandable/collapsible functionality for the data being "grouped."
- By selecting the +/- (or the "1" or "2"), the grouped data will expand or collapse accordingly.
