If you’re like most people, you probably have Excel installed on your computer and use it to keep track of financial data. But sometimes you want to delete columns that go on forever, and Excel doesn’t offer a way to do that. There are a few ways to delete columns in Excel, but the most common is to use the “delete” button at the bottom of the column editor. But sometimes that button doesn’t work or it’s hidden behind a menu item. Here’s how to delete columns in Excel that go on forever:

  1. Open Excel and create a new spreadsheet.
  2. In the spreadsheet, select all of the cells in the “columns” row and press “delete.” The column will be deleted but will remain open in the spreadsheet.
  3. Repeat step 2 for each column in the “columns” row.
