How to restrict the number of rows & columns?
Sri,
You cannot change the number of rows or columns, but you could hide any beyond the ones you want to see. -- HTH Bob Phillips ... looking out across Poole Harbour to the Purbecks (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "sridhar" wrote in message ...

How to restrict the number of rows & columns?
Please post in one newsgroup
You can't delete the rows in Excel. But you can hide them if you want like this This example will hide all rows below row 100 1) Select row 101(Click on 101 to select the whole row) 2) Ctrl-Shift-down Arrow to select all rows below row 100 3) Right click on the selection 4) Choose Delete first to be sure that all the cells are empty 5) Right click on the selection again and choose Hide You can do the same for your columns -- Regards Ron de Bruin (Win XP Pro SP-1 XL2000-2003) www.rondebruin.nl "sridhar" wrote in message ...

How to restrict the number of rows & columns?
Before hiding rows/columns that you don't want used, format them so that
they're protected to prevent data entry (and unprotect any in the visible area that you want users to be able to do something in), and protect the worksheet after hiding them.

How to restrict the number of rows & columns?
Three excellent suggestions g. Why are you doing this?
(a) To keep the user within a certain region? Fine idea, keep them reined in. (b) To reduce file size? Won't reduce it at all. Ron's suggestion to delete the rows and columns before hiding them might help by removing invisible memory hogs, but ti's the deletion, not the hiding, that saves bytes. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services http://PeltierTech.com/Excel/Charts/ _______ sridhar wrote: Hi, can some one help me in konwing how to restrict the number of rows and columns in an excel sheet Sri... |
