How to Make all Columns the Same Width in Google Sheets

In this article, I will tell you two easy ways to change the column.

Make All Column Widths the Same, Step By Step

Step 1. Select the columns

Not to mention that default columns are labeled as A, B, C, and so on. To change the width of the columns in Google Sheets manually, select all the columns for which you want to change the width. You can do this by clicking on the letter at the top of the column. For example, if you want to select columns C, D, and E, you would click on the letters C, D, and E by holding the CTRL key on a Windows machine (⌘ key on Mac).

Step 2: Drag Left and Right to Change all the Width

If you want to adjust all the widths manually, simply drag the boundary of any selected column to the left or right. You can find the boundary between the columns by hovering your mouse over the line between the column letters. Once you start dragging the boundary of any one of the selected columns, all the other selected column’s widths will be adjusted equally. Voila!!, You have now set all the selected column’s widths equally.

Step 3: Make all Column Width Same with a Specific Size

Alternatively, if you want a precise width size, you can right-click on the boundary and select “Resize selected columns” from the options.
