    If you want to delete column H:

    • Right-click the column header (the box with the letter H).
    • Select Delete from the context menu.

    Alternatively:

    • Select any cell in column H.
    • On the Home tab of the ribbon, in the Cells group, select Delete > Delete Sheet Columns.

     

    If you want to delete columns A to H:

    • Select columns A to H. There are several ways to do this:
      • Left-click on the column header of column A, then hold down the Shift key and left-click on the column header of column H. Or:
      • Left-click on the column header of column A. Instead of releasing the mouse button, hold it down and drag to the right to column H. Or:
      • Press F5 to display the Go To dialog. Type a:H in the box and press Enter or click OK.
    • Now that columns A to H have been selected, right-click anywhere in the selection.
    • Select Delete from the context menu.

    Alternatively, after selecting the columns:

    • On the Home tab of the ribbon, in the Cells group, select Delete > Delete Sheet Columns.
