Here is another pretty nifty tip that you can use in MS Excel – have you ever had occasion to want to hide the contents of a cell from a reader that is not privy to certain information? Of course you have! Haven’t we all? The good news is that you can and it is pretty easy to do.
Follow the steps below:
1. Select the cell in your spreadsheet.
2. Click on Format | Cells.
3. Click on Category | Custom.
4. Enter three semicolons in the Type box.
5. Click OK.
Those values will not be visible on-screen unless you highlight that cell. If you should highlight that cell, you will still be able to view the values on the formula bar, but not on-screen.
