I have a sheet that has a locked "work area"
ie. I can't add new columns. The area is shaded in "Grey". I am using Excel 2007.

The columns are not hidden.
I have checked the page break view, and tried to drag the print area further to the right, but it does nothing.
I have checked VBA to see if they have any scroll lock code... nothing.

How can I increase the work area??? I just want more columns to work with!!!

Thanks:mad::mad::mad:

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Hi,

I'm not sure but try this....

just keep pointer @ end of the "O" column then pointer will be changed and drag out to left...

Hope it will work

Nope that does not work either.
The sheet is not protected either.

OK.
problem solved...

They were hidden, but I had to CTRL A select all cells, then unhide.

:)

Thanks.
