How to Select Rows or Columns in Excel with Menu
In addition to using a mouse or keyboard, you can also select rows or columns in Excel with menus. You can use the Home menu or the Edit menu to do this.
To select a single row or column, you can use the Home menu. First, you must move your cursor to any cell in the row or column that you want to select. Then, click on the Home tab in the ribbon. Next, click on the Editing group and select Find & Select. Then, select Go To. You will see the Go To dialog box appear. There, you will see the address of the active cell in the Reference field. You must replace the cell address with the row or column address that you want to select. For example, if you want to select line 5, you must type 5:5. If you want to select column C, you should type C:C. Then, click OK. You’ll notice that the entire row or column will be highlighted.
To select multiple adjacent rows or columns, you can use the Edit menu. First, you have to move your cursor to any cell in the first row or column that you want to select. Then, right-click on the cell and select Edit. Next, click on the Cells group and select Select. Then, select Row or Column according to the type of selection you want. You’ll notice that the entire row or column will be highlighted. Next, you can drag your mouse up, down, left, or right to select another adjacent row or column.
To select multiple nonadjacent rows or columns, you can use the Edit menu in the same way as above, but by holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard while dragging your mouse. You’ll notice that any rows or columns you skip will be highlighted.
