Yes, there is a way to automatically hide empty columns in Excel. Here are the steps:

1. Select the entire range of columns that you want to check for empty columns. You can do this by clicking on the first column heading and dragging across to the last column heading.
2. Click on the "Home" tab in the ribbon at the top of the Excel window.
3. Click on the "Find & Select" button in the "Editing" section of the ribbon.
4. Click on "Go To Special" in the drop-down menu.
5. In the "Go To Special" dialog box, select "Blanks" and click "OK". This will select all of the empty cells in the selected range.
6. Right-click on any of the selected cells and click "Hide". This will hide all of the columns that contain empty cells.
7. To unhide any hidden columns, select the columns on either side of the hidden columns, right-click, and click "Unhide".
8. Save your spreadsheet.

Now, whenever you open the spreadsheet, any columns that contain no data will be automatically hidden, making the spreadsheet more user-friendly.
