With COLUMNS, you can search for the function, fill in its parameters, view its syntax and parameter help, troubleshoot #VALUE! errors by checking data types and cleaning text or spaces, verify unexpected results by reviewing referenced ranges and evaluating formulas, and copy the formula across multiple cells while managing relative and absolute references.
