Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Hi Fluff,
thanks for the link that seams to be for active x textboxes, not what i need.

thanks

Missed the part about it being a shape.
This makes it easier, you just need to run the spell checker from the Review tab

Not sure that's possible, other than selecting the text in the textbox & running the spell check.
