How To Keep DropDown From Printing?
I created a P.O. template which had an in-cell dropdown for Company Name using
Data Validation[list]. Upon selecting the company's name, it would then fill in the corresponding address info for that company via VLOOKUP. The problem is I now deal with many companies which have multiple locations. I've moved the drop-down list to the right and added the appropriate fields so that it fills in the correct information but I don't want the Company Code drop-down field to actually print. I thought there was an easy way to suppress printing for a specific cell [object] but I can't seem to find it. Print Area is set so all the dropdown data off to the right does not appear. ----------------------------Printable Area-----------------------| ====================================| Company Name [drop-down] | CoName Addr1 Addr2 Address 1................................................. .........| Address 2................................................. .........| ====================================| Company Name Company Code [drop-down] | CoCode CoName Addr1 Addr2 Address 1................................................. .........| Address 2................................................. .........| ====================================| Thank you |

How To Keep DropDown From Printing?
PutorTutor,
One way would be to use a custom format = ;;; this renders the text as invisible. But the validation list will still show up when the user is in the validation cell (and invisible when another cell is selected). In fact even with the cell selected - the list will show, the drop down arrow will show, but the selection will remain invisible. steve "PutorTutor" wrote in message ...

Select the cells that contain the values you want to hide. 2.. On the Format menu, click Cells, and then click the Number tab. Show Me 3.. In the Category list, click Custom. 4.. In the Type box, select the existing codes and press BACKSPACE. 5.. In the Type box, type ;;; (three semicolons). The hidden values appear only in the formula bar - or in the cell if you edit within the cell - and are not printed. Tip To display hidden values again, select the cells, click the Cells command on the Format menu, and then click the Number tab. In the Category list, click General to apply the default number format. To redisplay a date, a time, or values that have a specific number format, select the appropriate date, time, or number format on the Number tab. Bob L. |
