Column A keeps disappearing in Excel

[davidrsutton]

Hi...

I have opened up a spreadsheet that I have been working on, but it seems to have eaten the first column. The column headings now start with column 'B' so the 'A' column surely must still be on the sheet, and I definately haven't deleted it.

I have tried rightclicking and selecting unhide, I have tried resetting all the column widths, and I have tried to drag column A out but all to no avail.

Sorry I can;t give you any more helpful info, but it really is as annoyingly vague as that! I'm using Excel 97.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Dave

click on the "Select All" area (little grey square between B & 1)
right click
choose "unhide"

that is all

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.

Also make sure that there are no frozen panes in your window ... menu command Window, and look to see if the "Unfreeze Panes" command is there.

Cheers, Glenn.
