Can I add more columns beyond col. IV?
I realize this may be a elementary question to most, but I hope there's a fix. I'm making a spreadsheet that requires about 10 more columns (beyond column IV) than the normal new Excel file allows (to the would-be column JE). Is there any way for me to extend the sheet and add more columns?

No, you are limited to 256 columns

You can't. Maybe you need to think about switching to Access??

You might consider Quattro Pro. It doesn't have a 256 column limit.
