    Question



    In MS Excel 365, which of the following is the correct sequence for deleting a column in an MS-Excel spreadsheet?

    A.

    Select the cell << Right click << Delete << Entire Row

    B.

    Select the cell << Left click << Delete << Entire Row

    C.

    Select the cell << Right click << Delete << Entire Column

    D.

    Select the cell << Left click << Delete << Entire Column

    Correct option is C

    In MS Excel 365, to delete an entire column, you need to select any cell in the column, right-click to open the context menu, choose Delete, and then select Entire Column. This process removes the selected column and shifts the remaining columns to the left.
    Important Key Points:
    1. Right-click Context Menu: This menu provides quick access to operations like delete, insert, and format cells.
    2. Selecting Entire Column ensures the entire vertical range of cells in that column is removed.
    3. Using the left click does not open the context menu, making it unsuitable for this task.
    Knowledge Booster:
    · Deleting Rows: To delete a row, follow a similar sequence: Select a cell in the row >> Right click >> Delete >> Entire Row.
    · Keyboard Shortcut: Use Ctrl + "-" to delete rows or columns after selecting them.
    · Insert vs. Delete:
    1. Insert adds new rows or columns to the worksheet.
    2. Delete removes existing rows or columns permanently.
    · Shift Options: When deleting, Excel offers choices to shift cells left, shift cells up, or delete an entire row/column.
