Hi I need help.
I have a work book that contains several sheets that include formals.
These formals use data from the different sheets within the workbook.

What I’m trying to do is in one sheet insert 3 new columns without it changing the column letters eg insert the 3 new columns after column A so the could read A,A1,A2,A3,B,C etc.
So they would not effect the formulas within the rest of the Work book.
Is this possible?
Thanks

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
When you insert new columns, it rearranges the letters of the columns. ie. if you insert 3 columns between A and B, then the B column becomes column E and the inserted columns would be B, C and D.

Hi
Thanks for replying. I understand that, but I was wondering if there was a way to stop them being rearranged.

Thanks
