Why is it that 4 out of every 5 LBO models have alternating skinny columns. Its so fucking annoying.
Is there a reasonable explanation for this?
It cant be functional. How do you have an IRR calculation when every other column is blank. On top of that, all I ever get from these assholes is ESV'ed models.

It makes the model look better, and i always use the in-between cells for scratch work. It sucks that you cant always manuever the cells as easily though. All of my models here are totally different than the ones I used in banking.
It sucks cuz you can never highlight and Ctrl+R unless you clear the skinny columns after.
I hide them and do what I need to and clear out the spacing columns after. I was just wondering why its such a necessity.
Lol, at least you can ctrl+d down! I feel your pain though, the best thing you can do is just delete them. But make sure you have all the necessary cells locked (f4), or your model might screw up. I just put them back in at the end...
One thing you can do is copy the cell to the left of the one you want to copy across and the cell you want to copy (ex: if you have data in Cell A2 and A1 and A3 are blank, copy A1:A2). Then you can just select the area you want to copy across and paste it in. It's a little faster but still annoying.
