Columns in a spreadsheet represent different variables or fields of data being collected. Each column should have a specific category of data, such as name, age, or revenue. Rows, on the other hand, represent individual records or instances of data. Categories (C) and variable labels (E) may be included, but they are not the main purpose of columns in a spreadsheet.
