The grid-column-end property in CSS is known for specifying the end position of a grid item in the grid column by contributing a span, or a line to its grid placement and hence specifies the block-end edge of the grid area of the item.

Syntax

where 
<grid-line> = auto | <custom-ident> | [ <integer> && <custom-ident>? ] | [ span && [ <integer> || <custom-ident> ] ]
