Showing text

Please could you tell me how to make sure that ALL text in cell shows once you've copied data?

Thanks

RE: Showing text

Hi James

Thanks for your question.

When you copy and paste data, the columns you paste into will not automatically adjust their width so you only see some of the data unless you then adjust the widths of the columns.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Excel tip:

Hide data in Excel Worksheets

Let's say you have some data in cell 'C5' you would like to hide from the casual viewer.

Click cell 'C5' to select it.

Click the 'Format' menu, select 'Cells'. When the 'Format Cells' dialogue box opens, click the 'Numbers' tab (if necessary), then select 'Custom' from the 'Category' list.

Double-click the 'Type' entry box and type three semi-colons: ";;;"

Click 'OK' to close the dialogue box and accept the new formatting.

The data in cell 'C5' disappears. It's still there and will work in calculations, but it isn't visible.

If you need to check the data, just click the blank cell and the contents appear in the 'Formula bar'.
