How do you grey out the whole workbook, apart from the table you are working in?

RE: Formatting

Hi Victoria,

Thank you for your question to the forum.

I assume you mean worksheet not workbook as this contains many sheets and I think you may just want to grey out all the empty cells within the same sheet as where the table is located. If this is the case please do the following:

1. Let's say the table occupies cells A1 to D10. Select the column E then do Ctrl SHIFT right arrow to select all columns to the right.

2. Now fill with a grey colour using the paint bucket icon

3. Next select row 11 and do Ctrl SHIFT down arrow to select all rows to the bottom of the spreadsheet.

4. Click on the paint bucket icon directly to fill selected cells with the same colour


I hope this resolves your problem

Kind regards
