I am running Excel 2007 and trying to insert an object (combobox, textbox, commandButton, etc) on a worksheet. When I click on the component I want inserted onto the worksheet, I get an error, "Cannot insert object". I use to be able to do this and I don't know what happened. I can insert an object from Form Controls but it won't work under ActiveX. Does anyone know what's happening here?

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
You probably need to have a look at the big orange banner at the top of the page. :)
