Prevent Hidden Columns Printing
Mar 21, 2008
I have a sheet that uses Blocks of cells eg: A1:X10,A12:X22 etc to hold data/text etc.
I am filling colums A to V with data and Ranking and summing them in W & X,
I don't need to show K, L M ...for example, until they are totally filled, so I hide them manually until needed.
Have a Macro to print "results" A1:X10,A12:X22 etc, and I set a "print area" or "print selected"...works fine to fit to 1x1 Page.
Problem: If I hide L, M, N etc, the macro runs fine but still uses the unhidden size of the selection to fit the page ie: I get A-B-C-D...-W-X as required, but the other half of the page is blank, because the size selected is for all including the hidden columns.
Q: How can I (Simply) print what's visable to 1x1 Page, fitting more in each time I unhide a column or two.?

One of the fields I want them to enter is a library branch and I have used a data vaslidation list to provide a dropdown box.
To make it act more like a windows drop down box I have hidden 7 cells above this box with the 7 possible entries. This means that with autocomplete, if they start typing in the cell it will autocomplete the entry for them.
This work fine, but if someone presses enter from the cell above my hidden rows, one of the hiddenn cells is selected!
WHY!
I have no explanation for this behaviour, nothing like it has ever happened before, and I have no idea how to get rid of it.

I have a feeling the answer to this will be 'no' based on the searching I've done, but is it possible to allow formatting of rows/columns on a protected worksheet, yet prevent the user from unhiding some rows/columns I don't want them to see? I've allowed them to format rows/columns so they can "size" them to fit the text they enter, but that has opened up the ability for them to unhide columns. Using Shrink To Fit would be cumbersome due to the number of cells involved.

By adapting a worksheet macro obtained previously via Ozgrid, I built a workbook that dynamically produces a database, in a worksheet titled “NumLtrWBS DB”, based on all possible combinations of what is listed in column A of three 3 worksheets titled: “ Num”, “Ltr” and “WBS, respectively.
The macro, named “NumLtrWBS", works wonderfully, until I add a row at the top of each list to contain a column header. The unchanged macro includes the column headers in the “produced” database. When I change the macro by altering the variable definitions to begin at A2 rather than A1, it still includes the column headers in the “produced” database. How should I change the macro so it doesn’t “produce” the column headers in the database worksheet?

I have formulae in cells to reference another sheet, but if the referenced cell is blank, then the new cell I made blank (using the IF function). The problem is, when I want to print, Excel wants to print all of the cells with entries in them - even the ones with formulae in them that are blank.
Is there any way to prevent the empty cells from printing?

Regarding the age old problem of trying to ensure macros are enabled in a workbook, using the process of hiding all sheets bar one:
Automatically Close Workbook If Macros Are Disabled
Reafid inserts some excellent code so that worksheets are hidden BOTH before closing AND on a normal Save event (I have also attached Reafid's zip file with the workbook that includes his/her code).
Having done much searching it seems to be the best solution out there, however I can still break it fairly easily and I'm worndering if anybody can stop me doing the following to break it:
Open the file in its restricted state (i.e. only Warning tab shown, all other sheets very hidden) and NOT enabling macros on opening. I'm therefore at the position Reafid intended; macros are disabled so all sheets are very hidden. Then to break it, in my personal macro workbook I have a simple macro that unhides all worksheets in ThisWorkbook, I run that personal macro and everything in Reafid's file is unhidden.
Reafid's file therefore has been opened with macros DISABLED and now all worksheets are visible.

I have a spreadsheet which I'm using as a log-in front for a series of other workbooks. The usernames and passwords are stored hidden cells within a "very hidden" worksheet. The workbook is protected and VBA code itself is password protected.
In short no-one can directly view the passwords (unless the password to unprotect it all is known.
What I have found is that someone can use a formula to reference the cells containing the user details. "=a1" for example.
Is the a method hiding the contents of a cell from excel itself? I want the vba script to be able to see the value, but any "=a1" formulas to return a blank.

This continues downward to cells 6577. I'm looking for a way to carry these three columns over at some point so I can put more data on a single page, thus minimizing the # of pages I will need to print, but yet remain in the proper sequence as established in column B.

I have a data sheet which I need to print everyday, I need to print Column A plus other individual columns on separate pages. For eg. Column A + B, Column A + C, Column A + D etc until the last column. Besides hiding and unhiding, is there any way to do it via vba? For eg, pop up to ask user which column to print?

when I want to send by email I find I cannot copy these smaller sheets - every attempt at a copy will also copy the hidden columns.
How to copy a spreadsheet and NOT pick up the hidden columns?
I realise this might be nearly impossible or considered useless because no hidden columns would mean either making the copy with blank hidden columns or altering all formulas to suit a sheet which now does not have all the original columns.

I have a worksheet that currently has columns AB to XFB hidden. I want to unhide them, so I selected column AA and then drug the mouse over to the right (toward the empty space), intending to right-click and select "unhide". I do this all the time with no problems.
However, from the instant of my drag to the right, Excel has become totally unresponsive. I see it using 25% of my quad CPUs in task manager, but there is no active memory delta and it has been sitting for over 20 minutes now.
I'd rather not lose the work I just entered, but I can't seem to get Excel to come back to life by pressing escape or clicking in the worksheet. I've noticed slowdowns before when there is a lot of actual data in the cells selected, but these columns were empty to the best of my knowledge.

Is there a maximum amount of hidden columns within Excel? I have double-checked protection, and I have enough columns total for the action I'm attempting to do. I am using Excel 2003, and working on a rather large spreadsheet for a forecast. The basics of it is that I have macro's within buttons set-up so that users can hide columns and just view certain columns for approximately 30 columns per week and 5 weeks.
And I can run the hide macro's for up to 4 weeks at a time, but when attempting to hide the 5th week it gives me a "Run time error 1004" Unable to set the Hidden property of the Range class.

I have a spreadsheet with rows as budget line item and columns for the months they occur.
I have a cell on each row (in column B) displaying the total of that row for all the months. (columns C to Z)
I want to be able to hide certain months (columns), and have the total not include those hidden columns; but the formula for the totaling cell ( "subtotal(109,C3:Z3)" ) appears to continue counting all the columsn, even the hidden ones

Iam an accoutant and have been given a task we have a workbook we use monthly that has about 50 columns, we have to go in and hide all the columns we do not need to print so I am wanting to create one that will hide the neccessary columsn print, unhide the columns and then hide the neccessary ones and print and so and so on.
I tried to do this by recording a macro and it sent me to visual basic and now says ithas all of these errors and i dont know how to fix them i need to do this porbabaly for about 20 different hiding and printing combinations. I am going to attach the errors i am getting when i try to debug in visual basic this is just for the first combination so i guess i need to know how to do debug for the rest of the combiantions. I am also hiding the entire column i dont know if i should be or not. I am attaching the file that i am doing the hising in as well. So like for the first i need to only keep column a,b,c (always unhidden) and then g for this time, print, unhide, then again column a,b,c active, then column u print and then unhide and on and on.

Without moving or copying columns I need to print Column A & Column I on the same piece of paper and not print Column B-H.
Every time I try this though it is printing column A on one sheet and Column I on a second sheet. Yes I've checked margins, etc.
This is actually possible, right?
(I didn't want to move or copy columns as the spreadsheet is for someone else's use, plus my formulas buggered when I tried to so I didn't want to add that complication for the other person of double checking the formulas every time she wanted to print this two column version of the sheet.)

I have a worksheet that I use to track my clients and their meal selections over a five day week. Col A is their name, B is their shift (am or pm) C is their table number, D is whether they will attend that day (yes or no) and E is their meal choice (a b or c) Columns D & E repeat the same information for each day Mon-Fri.
I would like to have a print button so that on a daily basis I can print the clients name and thier meal selection (only those those who have a yes for that day) separating AM shift from PM and then grouping them by their table number rather than alphabetical order.
