Viewing data in a single column
 

Hi friends,

I have an Excel spreadsheet set up for health care and records for our
many animals. Each column is assigned to a different animal's name,
and each row corresponds to a specific date. Whenever reviewing a
specific animal's history, I find myself scrolling up and down a
column, watching the Formula Bar for data. I'm sure there must be a
better way to view all data in a given column - maybe a way to filter
out all adjacent columns and/or isolate the data in a more readable
form.

Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Doug

Why not just use datafilterautofilterfilter on the column for NON blanks

Thanks so much for the suggestion. That is exactly the kind of view I
needed. One more related question: How can I temporarily hide data in
all other columns so that all I see is just the filtered column data?
