Highlighting cells

How do you highlight visable cells only? i.e. on a subtotal page ?

RE: Highlighting cells

Hi Nikki, Welcome to the forum, Thank you for your post, This is a great question and one which has had a lot of people stumped, but to sort your problem we have to use a little cheating;
Follow these steps;
1. View just the subtotals you wish to highlight (Click level 2 or similar)
2. Select just the cells you want to highlight
Here comes the cheat
3. Click Edit>Go To (Ctrl+G)
4. In the dialog box click the Special Button
5. In the Go To Special dialog box select Visible Cells Only
Click Ok - Now Format the cells as required; Click to View all of your Datasheet and you will see only the Selected cells have been formatted.
