(lively music)…- [Narrator] To make adjustments to your sheet…you can click on a single cell to select it.…But you can also click on the column header or row header…to select an entire column or row.…You can select a range of columns or rows…by placing your cursor on one header, click and hold,…then drag to select the range.…Or select several noncontinuous columns or rows…by selecting one, then holding the control key…or command key on a Mac, and clicking…the other headers you want.…
