A simpler method would be to simply copy the column, then insert a new column 
where you want the data, and then do a paste. Move to the top of the column, 
then do a shift command down arrow to select the entire column. Then do an 
option right arrow at the column after which you want the data to appear. Of 
course, don't forget to copy the selected fcolumns first, then paste into the 
newly created column. This may still mess up your formulas depending on whether 
you used  relative or absolute addressing.

That gets fairly tricky. I don't know if you're writing your own formulas, or 
if these are someone else's. But, the addressing system they use will determine 
if the formulas can be moved from one position to another without screwing them 
up.
