how to move columns in Microsoft Excel

To move columns in excel, we first have to select the whole column that we want to move.

1. select the row

So we basically click for example on the “column B”, now we press and hold down the “shift” key on keyboard, and move our cursor to the right border of the column until it changes to this “four-fold” arrow.文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/124.html

And now we can simply drag this column to another place.文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/124.html

You can see this bold line between the columns C and D which basically means that the column will be placed here if we release the mouse key.文章源自LuckYou.ORG-https://luckyou.org/124.html
