Prevent Hidden Column data from being copied/pasted?
A student came up with a question that I haven't been able to figure out yet in a recent Excel class. They are hiding a column and protecting the worksheet in the correct manner. They want to allow some users to access and enter information in some cells. They do not want the users to be able to copy and paste the information from the hidden column. The question is how can this be prevented? For example, Column B is hidden. When they copy a range such as A1:C10 and paste it to another worksheet, they are getting the "hidden" data in Column B in B1:B10. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks! Jugglertwo

demechanikAnd just to add to Max's "move the column elsewhere" suggestion... Make sure you tell the students that excel's protection of worksheets and workbooks (under tools|Protect) is easily broken. It shouldn't be use to keep private information private. It's really meant to keep users from making simple mistakes (overwriting formulas/values that shouldn't change).

Using subtotals as single data entries
Sorry about the subject--I couldn't figure out how to describe it simply. I have a large file (16,000 records) of amounts billed by roughly 10,000 service providers.

How can I cut data out of HTML table, into msExcel and just take the data & columns? (but NOT the formatting & URLs!)
Hi This is driving me ABSOLUTELY NUTS! How can I keep the rows & columns of data that I am copying and pasting off a website (my own in this case!), into a spreadsheet... WITHOUT taking all the data formatting? If I paste out of Ms IE v6 into Ms Excel (2003), it does at least keep the columns (something that doesnt happen if I paste out of FireFox, fwiw). But it pastes with all the formatting & URLs etc - which I DONT WANT! OK, I can save as .CSV, close, 2 warnings, and re-open but when done REPEATEDLY this is a damned nuicance! Any suggestions?

Hidden log on problem
On our XP Home laptop I have 2 users on the welcome screen, while my admin account uses (ctrl alt del) x2. All is fine until it goes into standby when I am in admin. Then on wake up the welcome screen comes back, but (ctrl alt del) x2 does nothing. I can't see a way to get back into my account without rebooting. Is there another way (opening one of the other accounts is as slow as rebooting)?

Copy Data from One Group of Cells to Another Group
I have five columns of data on two different sheets in the same workbook. One set of columns is sorted in ascending date order the other in descending date order. When I enter data into the last row of Sheet 1, I need the data in that row in columns A, B, C and D to be copied into Sheet 2 columns A, C, D and E in a newly inserted row 14. Is this possible with the use of a macro? I can find the last cell in Sheet 1, but then need to go up one row and back to column A. I am having difficulty with that. Thanks is advance for any assistance offered! /s/ Alan Auerbach On Sat, 26 May 2007, ...
