Hi folks,
I ran a Workbook Analysis on a spreadsheet using the Inquire tool (very useful).
It tells me one of my cells is invisible. Sure enough when I type into the cell the text is hidden.
I can simply Format Paint from another cell and then my text is visible.
But I would like to know how this cell has been set as invisible.
• It's not a white font.
• It hasn't been formatted as ;;;
• It is general format
• I've compared it to the cell below, the one I have used for Format Paint, and it appears to be the same.
Is there some other clever Excel way of making a cell invisible that I'm unaware of?

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Hi,

Do you know if the cell had any Conditional Formatting (CF) rules applied?

CF can format cells as ;;; however looking at the cell from the worksheet perspective you may see the format as "General"

Good idea, but alas no. No Conditional Formatting anywhere in the spreadsheet.
