Hello all,

Can anyone help & guide me to mask a cell. I want to hide the content, I type in a cell. It can be any special char.

Thanks & regards

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
You can hide a column or a row but not a cell.
You could format the font of the cell to white.....
but that will still be visible in the formula bar, unless you hide it as well !!

[White]

but as Micheal mentioned you should hide the formula bar as wel.l

Hi,

Thanks for your reply friends. So let it be shown in the formula bar, but still it will be in the form of special char. There is no way, we can make it ? Is there any solution ? Apart from making the cell white ? I want to type a number, a name, atelephone or anything BUT it will be shown in the form of special char to the user.

Thanks & Regards
