How to divide sheet in two or more sets of colums

[Joanne]

Hello,

I have to create a sheet with 1) 6 columns all different widths, 2) another
6 columns with different widths (side by side with the first 6 columns but
with different data)
and 3) once all data entered in those two sets of 6 colums i then need to
enter data (starting on a blank row but with all the same width for colums.
Is this possible?

If you can sort whatever I am trying to explain here and find a solution i
would be gratetul.

Thank you for your time and efforts re my query

From an earlier post from Gord Dibben"

"Row heights and column widths are properties of the row and column and
cannot be
changed throughout.

My fingers are shaking and my heart is racing as I type the following.........

You could use the Merge Cells option and merge several cells together
horizontally or vertically.

Merged cells can cause no end of problems with copying, pasting, filtering,
sorting and a few others I can't think of right now.

They do have their purpose, I guess<g>

Not possible within the original 12 columns.

Column width and row height are the properties of the entire column and row.

Note the word "entire".

Mike,

My fingers are shaking and my heart is racing just thinking about merging
. Eventhough I do use, occasionnally, the merging command, i also always
close my eyes titghtly and hold my breath the fear of seeing everything
deleted being so great . i definitely will not use it for the kind of work
I have to do now.

Thank you again for having taking the time to reply to my request.
