The selected column is too narrow to display all the values. How can you auto fit the column to best fit the data?

1) Right-click on the column header and select 'Auto Fit Column Width'
2) Double-click on the column header to automatically adjust the width
3) Go to the 'Format' tab and click on 'AutoFit Column Width'
4) Use the shortcut key 'Ctrl + Shift + F'

Final answer:

To auto-fit a column in Excel, right-click on the column header and select 'Auto Fit Column Width'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to auto-fit a column to the data in Microsoft Excel is by right-clicking on the column header and selecting 'Auto Fit Column Width'. This will automatically adjust the column width to fit the longest value in that column.

Option 2 is incorrect because double-clicking on the column header will only adjust the width to fit the header text, not the data.

Option 3 is also incorrect because there is no 'Format' tab in Microsoft Excel. The correct option is the first one, which is right-clicking on the column header and selecting 'Auto Fit Column Width'.
