    Prevent hidden columns from showing up when I save it as a txt file.

    Hey guys,

    When I am saving my spreadsheet as a text file, I have 1 column with formulas that I would like to not show up in my text file. I have tried hiding the column, and have Googled for awhile now. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    The only way would be to copy your data (you can use Paste Special>Values) to a blank sheet (can be in the same workbook) and save that sheet as a text file. Hope that helps.

    OK, well I was thinking they would have created something like that by now. But I ended up using absolute cell references and cut and pasted to another worksheet.

    Problem SOLVED. Use absolute references and cut/paste to new sheet.

    Thanks
