What is the process to hide a column in Excel?

Hiding a column in Excel is typically accomplished through the Format option, which can be accessed from the Cells Ribbon. This option provides a user-friendly interface to manage various cell properties, including visibility. By selecting the Format option from the Cells Ribbon, you can navigate to the "Hide & Unhide" section, where you are given the choice to hide the selected column effectively.

The other options do not provide a viable method for hiding a column. For instance, clicking the application header would not lead to any action related to hiding columns, as Excel does not have an option like "Hide Columns" in that context. Selecting Format might suggest various formatting options but does not directly provide the functionality of hiding a column. Lastly, using the Borders button focuses on the visual style of cells rather than their visibility. Thus, the correct process to hide a column effectively is through the Format option in the Cells Ribbon.
