Hello Everyone,

Is there a way to have an active formula which does not show the formula. I want to provide a workbook to another person, but do not want them to see how I arrived at the formula.

I know how to protect the formula but it could still be wrote down and copied.

THANKS!!!!

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Select the cell(s) with the formula and choose Format Cells. On the Protection tab check Locked and Hidden and click OK. Then protect the worksheet.
