Formatting

I have a spread sheet when i minimise the sheet the data disappears, you can see in the tool bar the information is there but can't see it just blank cells appear back to full screen information appears, is it that i have too many formulars on the sheet or colour?

RE: Formatting

Hi Dina

Thanks for your question. I don't recognise the symptoms you describe as being a known problem with Excel.

One step towards troubleshooting the cause of the issue is to try and replicate the problem in a new spreadsheet. To do this create a new workbook, create some test data (rather than copy from the original workbook) and repeat the minimise / fullscreen actions. Do the cells is the new workbook also appear blank?

Kind regards,
Andrew

RE: Formatting

I've tried that it only affects this particular workbook, not sure what i have done to it.

RE: Formatting

Hi Dina

Thank you for coming back to me.

If the new workbook is OK the next step is to copy some data from the problem spreadsheet and paste it into your new spreadsheet and test again this time using real information.

Let me know how you get on.

Kind regards,
Andrew


 

Excel tip:

Make a quick copy of a worksheet

Hold down the Ctrl key, then click and drag on a sheet tab to make a copy of that sheet. Though this process usefully copies the formats of the original sheet, note that any Range Names you have on the original sheet will be duplicated too.

To make a copy of a worksheet's contents and formats without duplicating range names: (1) Ensure that you have a blank worksheet to paste to. (2) On the sheet to copy, click on the sheet selection square to the left of Column A's heading to select the whole sheet. (2) Copy the whole sheet. (3) Paste to the blank worksheet.
