Hello !!
How do I set certain columns to prevent printing on paper but have to be visible on an excel sheet?
Please see attached image, I want the column containing the word 'Workbook' to be visible on the sheet but when I press ctl+P it should not print.
The worksheet has been saved in excel format do i require to change the format as well ?

Thank you

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Could you not make a button, record a macro where you hide that column... run a print.... and then unhide the column and attach it to the button?

Alteernatively, you could hide the column in the Workbook_BeforePrint event.
