Lost column

I was formatting a worksheet to print and merged the top rows, I lost column
A with all my information. Worksheet starts with B. How do I get column A
back?

If the worksheet starts with Column B -- I assume you mean you see letter B
on the column label row in the top left -- it means that your column is
hidden. Select the whole sheet (grey box at the intersection of the row label
and column label) and use Format > Column > Unhide.

If you meant that you see the label A, but information that were in Column B
in that column, then your data are lost. Try Undo, but if you saved your
document in between, your data are definitively lost unless you have a backup
file.

I'd do this:
Edit|goto|type in A1
format|column|unhide
(and maybe scroll left)

If column A is still hidden, try:
window|unfreeze panes
(and maybe scroll left)
