Default Deleting columns


Has anyone had this problem:

I have a spreadsheet with multiple tabs. On the first tab I can select
a group of cells within a column, lets say B12 -- B45 and right click on
them, get the option 'Delete...' and it asks if I want to shift left,
up, entire row, or entire column. Now, on the second tab I select the
same group of cells except now when I right click it will only let me
delete rows.

Any ideas as to what I am missing here?

Do you have an autofilter active on that sheet? If yes, Excel will only let
you delete entire rows.

Does that help?

That definitely helps, and makes me feel a little stupid. Thanks for
the help, and for putting up with infantile questions.

You're very welcome....
and please don't apologize. After all, you DID post the question in the New
Users forum, right? :)
