Is it possible to adjust column widths to different widths within the same worksheet?

The top part of the worksheet I am working on has different column widths than I need on the bottom section of the worksheet.

I have tried looking up cutting, pasting, merging cells, splitting cells, etc. and the only thing splitting is my freakin' headache.

Can someone pleeeeeeeaase help me??

No, what you are trying to do isn't possible with Excel of any version.

I know it sucks. I wish you could have differing column widths at different parts of the sheet. Like having a split page setup or something.

I created a worksheet in Filemaker Pro that does what I need. Filemaker is easy to use and you can actually program it to do more than Excel.
