Excel With Background Having No Rows And Columns

Hello, I've just finished a very large Excel 2013 project. I'm learning as I go, so apologies if there is an obvious answer to this question. Most of my worksheets contain vast amounts of redundant rows columns cells. I have hidden the redundant rows and columns to their extremities. However, the hidden area is displayed with a white background, not the quotgrey moatquot I've seen and read about

I have seen worksheets where all of the lines are removed and it almost has the look of a blank piece of paper. I would like to have a worksheet where I could have a title, a logo, some command buttons for userforms and possibly reports and also be able to change the color and look of the background.

Close Excel, press Win R, type excel safe, and press Enter. Open the file in Safe Mode and check if the issue persists. Reset Excel Settings If none of the above steps work, resetting Excel to its default settings might help. Go to File gt Options gt Advanced. Scroll down to the General section and click Reset.

Select the column after the last column till the end of the sheet, right click the column headings and choose hide. Do the same for the rows. After that go into tab View and uncheck quotView Headingsquot. Is that what you are looking for? Andreas.

Let's try doing the same with your Excel display settings. Here's how you can check and adjust your display settings Open Excel and navigate to the quotFilequot tab. Select quotOptionsquot from the menu to open the Excel Options dialog box. Click on quotAdvancedquot in the left-hand column. Scroll down to the quotDisplayquot section.

If you confirm that the Color Filters are Off. and since Excel ribbon is all color, I believe High Contrast setting is Off as well. Just to confirm if it is Off, in Windows 10 under Hight contract setting, check if High contrast option is On or Off. If it is Off, then re-open Excel app and check if it still opens Excel with black background.

To unhide all columns and rows in the sheet, click the sheet selector at the intersection of the row and column header cells. Doing so will select the entire sheet. Press Shift Ctrl 9 and

Click on the row header of the next row after the end of the dataset. Press Ctrl Shift Down arrow on the keyboard. You will see all rows under the dataset have been selected. Right-click and select Fill Color. Select a shade of grey to apply as the fill color on the selected cells. You can also use the Fill Color feature from the top ribbon.

Using a thumb drive, I imported a large spreadsheet from PC Windows 10 Excel 2010 version 14.0 to Excel for Mac Mojave 2019 version 16.20. The column letters and row numbers and sheet tabs all use a black background.

For example, does Word has a fully black background issue? If all of your Excel sheet's cells all turn black, it's likely due to accidental formatting. Here's how to fix it Press Ctrl A Windows to select the entire sheet. Go to the Home tab. Click the Fill Color icon looks like a paint bucket. Choose No Fill to remove the background color.
