Hiding formulae

can't remember how to hide formula in cells for confidentility. Also, does hiding it also secure it?

RE: hiding formulae

Hi Shaper,

Thank you for your question.

Select the cells that contain the formulas and right click over one of them. Choose Format Cells and navigate to the Protection tab. Click the hidden checkbox to hide the formulas.

Then protect the sheet with a password and the formulas will be hidden and protected from editing and accidental deletion.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Creating a range of monthly payments as text

You could use a formula to create a range of payment ie. payment amount for x% to y% rate with fixed terms and principle.

The text that would be "between Xamount and Yamount".

Here is how to do it.

1 Use the PMT function to get your monthly payments figure or whatever frequency of payments that you choose he start range.

See PMT under Excel Help

2. Nest these in the ROUND function to round decimals see ROUND under Excel Help

3. Concatenate this using "&" and concatenate " to " and concatenate "Between ".

4. Concatenate the above to PMT function for the end range

ie.

="Between "&ROUND((PMT1),decimal places)&" and "&ROUND((PMT2),decimal places)
