You cannot hide individual cells.

Rows or columns, yes.

You can use Custom Views to set up differing views or use the ToggleRows code I
posted in my other posting in this thread.

As far as hiding "confidential" information, my rule is "if you don't want them
to see it, don't include it in the workbook".

Excel security is just weak enough that anyone with acess to the 'net and
password crackers can uncover your data.

can not seem to get them to do this.
