    How do I clear unused rows or columns

    I'm an Excel newb, so hopefully this can be answered easily.

    How do I save only the relevant information in a spreadsheet so I don't see all the junk to the bottom and to the right when I open the worksheet?

    Thanks in advance!

    Delete the junk, and then save it.

    If it's not truly junk, you can hide the rows and columns using Format > Row > Hide and Format > Column > Hide commands from the Excel menu.

    Sorry man, I just needed some help in a hurry for something and didn't read all the important info I guess.

    Junk at the bottom = all the unused rows/columns.

    Thanks, and sorry again.

    OK, to clear unused rows or columns, go into the next blank column, then press Ctrl+Shift+Right Arrow, with all the columns selected, right click > Hide. Do the same for rows but use the down arrow.
