Hi everyone,

I tried to delete the unused cells , But couldnt find a option & tried to hide all the cells & it worked but . i want this to be saved in .csv file. After saving the same on .cvs file , the hidden cells are visible .

My query is there any option to hide or delete unused cells while saving in .csv file?

Thanks in advance

Save Often
If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
Clear all unused rows and columns, then delete all unused rows and columns, then save, close and reopen the worbook. Then save as csv.

Excel doesn't export unused cells. If you follow the instructions, it won't.

You can put the workbook on box.net or dropbox and post a link, and I'll do it for you.

When I save that as csv exactly as you uploaded it, I get nothing extra in the output:

BTW, there is no need to hide unused rows and columns before saving.
