You could mimic the move effect by styling the input column so text isn't visible.
afaik theres no good automatic way to perform this, with scripts you can move but not sure if it works for your needs.
Code:function moveColumn() { var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(); var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Sheet1'); sheet .getRange('A:A').moveTo(sheet .getRange('B1')) }
