How to Hide Columns of Letters in Excel

Microsoft Office features a spreadsheet program called Excel. In Excel, you can enter, track and sort data. You can also use different formulas to help you with mathematical calculations. If you enter data into a column that you do not want printed but needs to remain in the spreadsheet for the calculation, you can hide the column. When you hide the column, it will not be on your screen and it will not appear when you print.

Instructions

1. Select the column with the letters you want hidden. Be sure to click on the column letter.

2. Click the "Home" tab.

3. Select "Format."

4. Point the mouse on "Hide & Unhide" and click "Hide Columns." The column is now hidden.
