Inserting new columns past the last column
Dumb question, I'm sure...
My last column is IV...like any default wooksheet Is this the max width I can have? Can I add or insert any more columns or do I have to rearrange my data to go vertical vs. horizontal? Thanks Chris |

You cann't add more columns ; only to use excel 2007 which
have 16000 columns , or to rearrange your data to go vertical vs. horizontal? |

Inserting new columns past the last column
Hi,
First this has nothing to do with column width. The maximum width of a column is 255. The maximum number of columns in Excel 2003 and earlier is 256. You can beat that limit 2 ways - you can imbed a Microsoft Spreadsheet control in the 2003 version of Excel and that will have more columns. Better solution is to move to Excel 2007 where you can have 16,384 columns. -- Cheers, Shane Devenshire Microsoft Excel MVP Join http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ and download a free screensaver to help search for life beyond earth.

Thanks Shane,
Of course, I meant the overall number of columns, not width per se', my bad. Now if I only knew what a Microsoft Spreadsheet control was I would probably be great! Naturally, I'll reconcile myself to popping for an 2007 upgrade eventually. But if this Spreadsheet control is not too much of a cluge, I'd like to give it a shot. I will poke around in help and etc to try to educate myself on this feature. "ShaneDevenshire" wrote: Hi, First this has nothing to do with column width. The maximum width of a column is 255.
