Hi!

How will I limit columns that will be showing in excel sheet? e.g. columns
A-I only

I just wanted to stop the cell pointer upto the I-column only. Did you get
my point?

How will I do that please?

Thank you!
 
RE: Little help for excel

This is not the place for Excel questions. Excel Web News Group:

However, if I am not wrong you can try this. By default, all the Cells of an
Excel Worksheet locked but the locking only works when you Protect the sheet.
So, my advice is :

1. Select the columns from A to I from the headings (so the entire columns
get selected)
2. Right-click on any Cell and choose Format Cell.
3. Click Protection tab and uncheck the Locked option.
4. Now, click Tools - Protection - Protect Sheet
5. If you have Excel 2003 then there will be an option which you should
unselect. The option is "Select Locked Cells". Uncheck this option so only
the unlocked cells may select.

Hope this help, let us know!

One method would be to select all the columns from J to the right end
(IV in my copy of Excel), right-click the selection and click "Hide".
