3. 1.2 Excel Limits and Specifications Excel versions earlier than 2007 had 256 columns and/or 65536 Rows. 2007 and later has 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns.
16. Resize a Column In a cell, text can be any combination of numbers, spaces, and non-numeric characters. If the entered text exceeds the column width it will overlap the boundary into the next column when that column is blank. If the next column already contains data, text that does not fit in the cell is hidden. Clicking the cell, however, reveals its entire contents in the Formula Bar. To increase column width, drag the right side of the column header with the double-headed pointer. To make the column width fit the contents of its widest cell, double-click the boundary on the right side of the column
17. Insert/delete a row or column To insert: Select a column to the right of where you want to insert a new one. Or select a row beneath where you want to insert a new one. From the INSERT menu choose row or column. If you want to insert more than one, select more than one column or row. To delete: Select either the row or column you wish to delete and press the del key or choose “delete” from the EDIT menu. You can also access all of these commands from the context menu -RIGHT CLICK!!
