Drag and insert cells with the Shift key

- [Instructor] In this worksheet called HR List…in our chapter six file, I've decided I need to have…the phone column to the left of social security.…One method of approaching this is to put in…a new column to the left of column D,…then move the phone data over,…then get rid of the empty column that results.…But it's much faster if we simply…drag the data using the shift key.…I'm going to select column E…and then point to any edge, probably the left,…and as I start to drag this…I've got the shift key held down.…

I'll drag it over to here, let go of the mouse,…we simply move the data leftward.…Now, we can do this with multiple columns…we can move left to right, works very smoothly and easily.…At a later time after working with this for awhile,…I've decided I want the social security number…and status to be to the left of phone,…or think of it as phone going to the right of status.…Either way, highlight these, I'll drag an edge,…this time the top edge maybe,…shift key's held down, drag it over to here,…let go of the mouse, we move the columns that way.…
