Struggling to expand your Google Sheets horizons? Adding columns is easier than you think! This quick guide will have you confidently inserting new columns in seconds, boosting your data management prowess.
**The Right-Click Route:**
1. **Select:** Click on the column header (A, B, C, etc.) where you want to add a new column. The new column will appear to the *left* of the selected column.
2. **Right-Click:** Give that column header a right-click (or Ctrl+click on a Mac).
3. **Insert:** Choose "Insert column left" or "Insert column right" from the context menu.
Voila! A fresh, blank column appears, ready for your data. Need multiple columns? Simply select multiple headers before right-clicking. Google Sheets will add the same number of columns as you selected.
**Using the Menu:**
Alternatively, after selecting a column header, navigate to the "Insert" menu at the top. You'll find the same "Insert column left" and "Insert column right" options there. This is another way to achieve the same result.
With these simple steps, you can add columns with ease and take control of your spreadsheets!
