Seems like something that would work easily, but I can't get it to work.

I have the cells regular formatted blue/green.
I have ="test" in A1
Condtional format as formula = A1, formatting white on white
I must be doing something wrong because conditioanl formatting is not being
done.

There is a work around for this but just like most of my suggestions, it is a
novice ghetto work around.

You can put a password or message in some cell way out of the way on that
worksheet or in a hidden worksheet. So say in this example it's "Password"

Then you can hilight all the green/blue cells, go to conditional
formatting... select formula is=

say you put the Password in cell AA1

=$AA$1="Password"

Then format all those cells to have a white font and white background. Then
when you use it all you have to do is delete the message and everything will
pop back up. then type it in again whenever you need to send it to others.

Is there a way for conditional formating, or some other way, to make them
invisible ? I need to provide most of the data on the worksheet to others,
but I don't want them to see those blue/green cells.
I know I could manually format them as no-fill with a white font, but I was
hoping to make it automatic, or even possibly with a macro. Any help or
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
