I am trying to "hide" columns on Excel. The last column with information entered is column HG so it's relatively large. I am getting an error message that says "cannot shift objects off sheet".
It does allow me to hide some columns and then I get the message after hiding around 38 columns. From there, I select fewer columns and it allows me but then I get the error message again. I do not know what "object" is referring to. I have calculated fields in some columns. In experimenting, I now get an error message that "fixed objects will move" as I try to hide a few columns.
I do not know what an "object" is, nor how it got on this sheet. Thank you again for any help!
 
Glad you sorted it & thanks for the feedback
