Hidden columns

I have a spreadsheet where column A is hidden. I am unable to unhide it. Any suggestions?

RE: hidden columns

To unhide column A, select column B, and without letting go of your mourse, drag the pointer to the left, just above the row numbers. You should see a 2C tag appear (stand for 2 columns).

Then Right click on the selection and UNHIDE.

That should do it.

Excel tip:

Conditional formatting for cells that return text , not picked up by Go to command

If you have tried to format all cells containing text even those that display text as a result of a formula you may have had difficulty. As Go to command with constant selected does not pick up formulas that result in text.

Then try this. Select the range the formula cells appear in on your sheet. Format, select Conditional Formatting menu. In the dialog box under Condition 1, select "Formula Is" from drop down. Next to it in the Formula Box, enter the formula =Istext(A1. Click Format button , choose desired formatting settings and click OK. To go ahead and apply the conditional formatting click OK to accept
