Editing How to Add a Column in Microsoft Excel



To add a column in Microsoft Excel, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Excel and open the workbook where you want to add a column.

2. Select the column next to where you want to add the new column. For example, if you want to add a new column between columns C and D, select column D.

3. Right-click on the selected column and choose "Insert" from the drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can also click on the "Insert" button on the "Home" tab of the ribbon.

4. A new column will be inserted to the left of the selected column. You can now enter data into the new column.

5. To rename the new column, click on the letter of the column header (e.g. "E") to select the entire column, then right-click on the selected header and choose "Rename" from the drop-down menu. You can also double-click on the header to rename it directly.

6. Enter a new name for the column and press "Enter".

That's it! You have successfully added a new column to your Excel worksheet.
