Hiding Text in Excel

There are instances when you would like to include data in an Excel document but you don’t want or need everyone to be able to see it. Here is how you do it:

Option 1

Select the copy you would like to hide and make it invisible by changing the font color to white.

Option 2

Step 1: Select the cell containing the text you would like to hide and right click so the dropdown menu appears.

Step 2: Go to the number tab and select Custom. Then type ;;; (semicolon) into the box and click Ok. The cells you selected will look empty.
