Hidden rows unhide themselves when formulas are written
 

I have a worksheet with many hidden rows & columns. However, when I try to
write a formula in this worksheet, these hidden rows & columns automatically
unhide themselves. Is there any way to disable this?

Formulas can't hide rows or columns.

You could have some macro do it, though.

I cannot replicate this behavior on Excel 2003

How are you hiding the rows and columns?

Manually or by autofilter or via code?

Where do you enter the formula that unhides everything?

I would suggest you have some event code running that does the unhiding.

Oops. I misread your intent.

Try tools|options|transition tab|Uncheck "Transition navigation keys"

(I'd uncheck all those options.)
