    Drag Mouse to reveal text

    Hi.
    just come across this help item while searching.
    https://www.excelforum.com/excel-pro...s-a-range.html
    What if you can drag mouse to reveal text in a specific column like H1:H51?
    whatever message you want to reveal, maybe "Is your name wifi? Because I am feeling the connection"
    all cap or regular text. center aligned.
    Thanks.

    What do you mean by 'letting off steam'? I am moving this to the water Cooler, as that is where we vent and share.

    No idea what you are asking, sorry. Clarify and update your title, and then I'll move it where it needs to be.

    Administrative Note:

    We would very much like to help you with your query, however the thread title does not really convey what your request is about. Tell us what you are trying to do, not how you think it should be done.

    Please take a moment to amend your thread title. Make sure that the title properly explains your request. Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve).

    Please see Forum Rule #1 about proper thread titles and adjust accordingly. To edit the thread title, open the original post to edit and then click on Go Advanced (bottom right) to access the area where you can edit your title.

    (Note: this change is not optional. No help to be offered until this moderation request has been fulfilled.)

    Re: Drag Mouse to reveal text

    I just filled a bunch of cells with some text.

    the code makes the text in the cells very small and white, except for those which are selected which it makes larger than black

    Re: Drag Mouse to reveal text

    hi ubludkisranye
    thanks again for adjusting the code. Sorry i'm completely helpless with VBA.
    This is receipt-like worksheet, protected. Column H:H will have some added infos but also locked to prevent changes.
    i want to add this feature on a protected workbook.
    no need to unprotect to see the text. user can drag the mouse to see the text.
    hope you get what i mean.
    thanks again for the help.
