In the sheet, Michael wanted to duplicate the column structure of columns C - R (16 columns) so that he could perform some analysis on the values in these columns (calculate % of total) without modifying the original data.

There were 8 empty columns to the right of column R, so he needed to insert 8 more to give us 16 columns where he could paste the original 16 columns into.

Hope that helps, but please let me know if I've missed anything!
