Instead of doing it one by one or entering it manually in the Name Box, here is what you can do – create a named range that refers to the columns you want to select. Suppose you’re working in a workbook where you may often have a need to select far-off columns (say column B, D, and G). Let me also show you another wonderful trick. It allowed me to quickly select columns and format them at once, or delete/hide these columns in one go. When I used to work as a financial analyst years ago, I found this trick extremely useful. If you want to select multiple columns that are not adjacent, say D, H, and I, you can enter the below: D:D,H:H,I:I Similarly, if you want to select multiple columns (say D, E, and F), enter the following in the name box: D:F While the main purpose of the Name Box is to quickly name a cell or range of cells, you can also use it to quickly select any column (or row).įor example, if you want to select the entire column D, enter the following in the name box and hit enter: D:D
