Manually setting the column width
Mover your mouse cursor over the right border of the column heading of the column you want to resize, and drag the column to the desired size.
Automatically resizing column width to fit the data
To automatically resize the column width to fit the data, select the column you want to resize and double-click the right border of the column heading of the column you want to resize.
Auto resizing all columns on the sheet
To resize all columns in the sheet at once, select all cells, and double-click any cell border heading.
