Hi

Just imported an Excel into a Glide Table (Not Big Tables) and didn’t notice clever Excel had added 200 + columns. Don’t suppose there’s a quick way of deleting them? I hate having unused columns!

Assuming you cannot simply re-import the data anew into a new table …

Two ideas:

1. Hide the 200 columns with the “Hide” feature (top right). Though that is still a lot of clicks and doesn’t solve your problem.

2. Take a deep breath and take a few minutes today to delete 50 columns. Repeat another 3 days. It’s not quick but it might reduce the pain of having to delete 200 in one sitting.

Thanks Nathanael

Thought that would be the only option. I actually played it down - it’s 400+!

I hate Excel

Ouch. You might have to take more deep breaths than you wanted 🙂
