Ok, I got it.

In your example select col J ( the first one after your table) - Right Click - Format Cells - Border and add a left border in the border " zone" ( or whatever it's called)
Now you can drag any cell from col I without loosing the right border ( which is actually col J's left border)



Apply an equivalent technique if your first column is not col A.
