Hello Team,

I want remove columns from an excel sheet, but there are certain columns that are dependent on the deleted column. When we used the delete from excel action, the columns were deleted, but there are other columns that were not deleted, and it indicates a reference error.

    This is the normal behavior of Excel when you delete a column that is referenced by other columns.

    Can you please explain what you want to do instead? We cannot really come up with any suggestions when you don't provide any context.
