Default Turning off auto unhide when calculating formulas

When creating formulas, the worksheet auto unhide hiden rows and columns that
I have.

How do I turn this off? It really complicates working with the columns and
rows.

I use Office 2003.

Thanks,

Pedro.

Hi Frank.

I work with worksheets with a lot information, so I hide the columns I don't
want to see at a moment using the FORMAT/COLUMN/HIDE option.

Then, when I try to sum two columns, from the columns I can see, the
worksheet auto unhide all the hiding columns, which make difficult to make
the sum.

I hope I can get some help here.

Thank you!

Pedro.

Hi Pedro

do you have any worksheet_change code on the worksheet (right mouse click on
the sheet tab, choose view code ... is there any code there?)

by unhide do you mean literally unhide (as in the same as format / column/
unhide) or just included in the sum
e.g. if i hide columns B through D
then i type =SUM(
click on A, drag to F and the formula reads
=SUM(A1:F1)
which includes the hidden columns?

Cheers
JulieD

Hi JulieD.

There is no code there?

And yes, it literally unhide the columns. That's what I don't understand why
is doing this. Maybe I need to reinstall the Office.

Thanks.

I think OP is describing the temporary "unhiding" of hidden columns while
entering a formula and using the arrow keys. The cols go back to hidden when
the formula is completed.
