How do I hide the fomula bar?

Excel 2003..........ViewFormula Bar. Toggle on or off

Excel 2007...........View TabFormula Bar

How do you custom format using 3 semi-colons?

Excel 2003........FormatCellsNumberCustom. Enter ;;;

Excel 2007........Home TabFormatFormat Cells.......as above

To hide the formulas in formula bar only use FormatCellsProtection. Check
"hidden" then protect the workheet

Thank you for your help,

Use the Format Paintbrush to copy the CF to the cells below.

To copy formulas, simply drag/copy downwards.

Hiding the formulas means you don't want users to see the formulas in the
formula bar or in the cells?

You have to use sheet protection to hide the formulas in the bar or just
don't have the bar in view.

To not see anything in the cells you can custom format as 3 semi-colons ;;;

Hi Gord

Thank you for your reply and apologies for not being clear enough. For
example:

Cells E5 to Z5 are populated with formulae,
(F5, G5, I5, L5, Q5, V5, Y5, Z5 have Conditional Formatting). The formulae,
in some cases, are dependent on the preceding cell.

E5=D5+14, H5=G5+10, etc. These are on one row and interspersed with
conditional formatting on adjacent cells, as indicated above.

I want to apply these same conditions to the rows immediately beneath row 5
and hide the formulae.

I hope that makes sense this time.

You state you want row 6 and below to have the same formulas as row 5 but
then you want to enter data in row 6 and below.

You cannot have formulas in cells then enter data in those same cells
without erasing the formulas.

Please re-describe what you need.

The problem:

I have set up a work sheet with formulae in the following row:

Cells E5 to Z5 are populated with formulae,
(F5, G5, I5, L5, Q5, V5, Y5, Z5 have Conditional Formatting). The formulae,
in some cases, are dependent on the preceding cell.

I would like to apply all these formulae to all the rows from row 5 and
below. Also, I would like all the formulae to be hidden. So that when new
data is entered in rows 6 to X, all you see is the data being entered with
the formulaes being hidden.

Please can you help, I am new to excel so simplicity is key.

Many thanks,
