    Hiding Column/Row help with performance

    Hi,

    I was just curios, does hiding unused columns and row help with the performance or speed of the workbook? Or no difference at all?

    Basically I am doing something like this to a workbook: https://chandoo.org/wp/show-only-few...umns-in-excel/

    Thank you!

    Hi

    It should make no difference at all as only the display is hidden. All cells calculate whether hidden or not and the file size should be essentially the same

    Cheers

    As FSL says it won't make any difference. That tip you reference is simply about making the presentation look better.
