To adjust the column width to fit the content in Excel using the ALT + H + O + A shortcut:

  1. Select the column(s) you want to adjust.
  2. Press and hold the 'Alt' key on your keyboard.
  3. Press 'H', 'O', and 'A' keys in sequence.
  4. Release the 'Alt' key.

This shortcut resizes the selected column(s) to fit the widest cell content. This can be particularly useful when working with large sets of data and helps to avoid truncating important information.
