Maybe you are thinking of Go To (keyboard shortcut F5), then special but
there has never been a built in function that when you select A1:B9 then
click editinverse and it will select all cells except this range

I tend to experiment with different formulas in the outlying cells when
working on a spreadsheet, i know it was there in earlier editions(ie 2000
or
before) just getting tired of the extra steps to delete my doodleing.

you
had an add-in or you mistook it for some other application, for instance
if
you select files in windows explorer you have this option under edit

Previous versions of Excel had an "Invert Selection" command under the
Edit
heading. If you had selected cell A1:B9 and selected this option it
would
select all cells except A1:B9. Is this command still out there or am I
just
a blind old fool?
