Excel - problem with columns

Good morning,
I would like to know how to create/insert the ‘button’ that allows me to hide or show columns. If I am not mistaken, it should appear graphically as + or - above the group of columns in question.
Thank you for your help.

    EDITTED: I just re-read the OP and realize you aren't asking about insert/delete (not sure how I got that in my head) but instead asking about hide & show so I'm pretty sure the 'Grouping' feature is what you are referring to.

    I think what you are describing is 'Grouping' in the outline mode (on the data tab):

    this allows 'grouped' rows or columns to be collapsed or expanded.
