When you have, lets say an invoice, and you are wanting to hide the rest of the columns and rows normally a light grey; however, I have seen templates and such with different colors in that background.
My question is, how do I change that hidden background color??

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Welcome to the board.

As it's your first post, I didn't want it to go unanswered - but I have no idea what you're actually asking! Could you try rephrasing the question?

Matty,
There are a few ways you can "hide" things.
1) you can color the background the same color as the text (make them both gray for example). The user doesnt know there is text there unless you highlight the field.
2) the other way is to hide a whole row or column by using the hide command. Just highlight the whole row or column you want to hide and right click/hide. Then to unhide, highlight the 2 columns or rows to on both sides of the hidden and right click unhide.

I am not sure if this helps. Please give more info.
