Microsoft's Excel software is one of the best tools for you to organize, analyze, and manipulate data. Here are three ways to compare data in two columns.

The remaining columns will shift. To insert more than one adjacent column at a time, click and drag the mouse on two or more data cells in a row to insert the same number of data columns.

The other main way to move a column is to actually just slide it over in between two existing data columns.

Microsoft Excel comes with a lot of built-in functionality that doesn't restrict you to comparing data in two columns using only one method.
