How to Change Column Width in Google Sheets

Is your text not fitting in the cells in Google Sheets?

If so, you can change the width of each column.

Increasing the width of a column will allow more text to fit in its cells.

That way, your text will not overflow to the next column(s).

Google Sheets has a feature where you can resize columns.

The feature can be accessed by right-clicking the column(s) that you want to resize.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to adjust, resize, or change the column width in Google Sheets.

You can increase or decrease it by entering the pixels into the text field.

You can select more than one column by pressing “Shift” on your keyboard.

If you’ve selected more than one column (e.g. columns A to D), you’ll see the “Resize columns A – D” option.

By entering the pixels into the text field, all of the columns that you’ve selected will be resized when you click on “OK”.

If you just want the text to fit into the cells, you can double click the border next to the alphabet of the column.

In other words, the width of the column will be resized to fit the text.
