If the columns are hidden, it should be simply a case of 'select all', unhide columns.

The buttons might relate to macros, not formulae. If this is the case, I would suggest that you don't try and mess with them unless you know your way around visual basic. Or can recreate the macros from scratch (which may not be that difficult).

The formulae might be referencing information and/or formulae on another page of your spreadsheet (which may or may not be hidden). It should be fairly simple to trace the path if this is the case.

pm me.

If simple stuff will do for free, if time consuming then nominal charge.

If you can't get to a hidden row/column, hit F5 and enter the cell or range reference in the dialogue box that pops up, eg. A1 for single cell A:A for the whole column.

Once selected hit the key to the right of your right windows key, it'll bring up a context sensitive menu which should provide unhide as an option..

HTH..

reminds me of the sheet the boss hid everyone's salary in, simply copied all and pasted into a new sheet

then the penny dropped that the token girl was on £15k, everyone else was on £23-25k and the boss on 30k

sales rep let slip that only a retard would be on less than £20k, cue the girl slapping him and storming out smile
