Cell Selection in Excel
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? |

Cell Selection in Excel
When was it out there? There has never been an inverse command, Either 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 -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom \\"Ray" wrote in message ...

Cell Selection in Excel
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. -- RGDS, RAY "Peo Sjoblom" wrote: When was it out there?

Cell Selection in Excel
"Previous" to which version?
I can't remember seeing this command on the Edit menu in versions 95 through 2003. Perhaps it was an add-in that gave you that command?

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 -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Ray" wrote in message ...

It seems that folks tend to mix up what they do in XL and what they do (did)
in Windows Explorer. Windows Explorer has an <Edit. <Invert Selection option, Just as it also has a de-select feature if you re-click on a selected item. On occasion, I myself will waste a couple of minutes searching, before remembering that they *only* exist in Explorer. -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Peo Sjoblom" wrote in message ...
