Question
Hi a long time ago in MS Excel 2003, someone showed me how to call up a dialogue box which showed you what columns were hidden in a spreadsheet, there were tick boxes which allowed you to hide and unhide (toggle) by ticking, the relevant column on or off.
Only trouble is I have forgotten how to get this useful dialogue up and can't seem to be able to get the correct answer on google.
Please Help.
Many thanks
Hi Steve
How are you?
I am 99% sure that such a feature is not built in Excel 2003. You should have seen a user defined macro that displays a form with the info about each hidden column and a check box to hide or unhide it.
How familiar are you with VBA?
I can write a program for that but I have to know if you can use it.
Cheers
Adelaide
