How to add columns in Google Sheets

You can make room for more data in your spreadsheet in just a few steps. In this tutorial, we’ll explain how to add one or more columns in Google Sheets.

When you enter data into a spreadsheet, you may need to make room for more. You might want to insert one or more columns to include additional data. We’ll show you how to add columns in Google Sheets, including how to insert a single column to the left or right and how to add multiple columns to your sheet.

Visit Google Sheets, sign in with your Google account, and open the workbook to the sheet you want to use.

Step 1: Choose a column adjacent to the one you want to add. You can do this by selecting the column header.

As an example, we want to insert a column between columns C and D, so we choose column C.

Step 2: Select the Arrow on the right side of the column header to display the drop-down menu.

Step 3: Pick Insert 1 column left or Insert 1 column right, depending on where you want the column. Using our example, we pick Insert 1 column right.

Step 4: You’ll then see a blank column inserted into the spot you selected.

Alternatively, you can select Insert from the menu or right-click the adjacent column. Then, choose Insert 1 column left or Insert 1 column right.

You certainly don’t have to add just one column at a time if you need to insert more. You can add multiple columns at once just as easily.

Step 1: Select the number of columns you want to insert. You can do this by selecting the first column and dragging through the remaining ones.

For example, we want to add three columns between columns C and D, so we select columns A, B, and C.

Step 2: Select the Arrow on the right side of one of the column headers in the group to display the drop-down menu.

Step 3: Pick Insert 3 columns left or Insert 3 columns right, depending on where you want the columns. Google Sheets automatically enters the number of columns you have selected in the drop-down menu.

Using our example, we pick Insert 3 columns right.

Step 4: You’ll then see blank columns added per the number of columns you selected.

Alternatively, you can select Insert from the menu or right-click the group of columns. Then, choose Insert 3 columns left or Insert 3 columns right.

Now that you know how to add columns, take a look at how to lock cells in Google Sheets. You should also know how to merge cells in your spreadsheet.

The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.

The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.

Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.

"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.

However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
