Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
My problem is how to open an XL file, but by clicking on an XL file when the file is located on DeskTop

Hi,
Just open the application (EXCEL) and then from File>Open>..try opening your file. Or when excel is opened...check whether Tools>Options>General>Ignore Other applications is CHECKED. If so, uncheck it.
