Numbers Can't add column before or after the column I want to expand to

Can you add one or more columns to the right end of the table by selecting the table, then clicking the button indicated by the arrow?

If so, then after adding the column (named 'New" here) click to select its column reference tab, drag the column leftward to the desired position, and drop it into position.

Regards,

Barry

I have same problem - desktop Mac - Sonoma 14.1.2 - columns A, B, C, D:

Then for col E:

The "Add Column ..." is available but different in E than normal where they are in their own delimiters in that menu.

And beyond is normal. Also, the separator line between D and E is slightly more pronounced, as if Numbers has it partitioned A-D then beyond.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

One possibility is that you inadvertently locked the table. You can check that by clicking the table and going to the Arrange menu and choosing Unlock if that is what it shows there.

If you are sharing the document then that might possibly also result in the behavior you describe.
