Default How to change all numbers to x's?

If printing is all you need to do, then probably Dave's suggestion or a
variation of it depending on range of values you have, is a good way to go.

Or even a variation of the code I put up earlier - instead of destroying
formulas and actual values, just go to the IsNumeric() section and then set
the cell's format to a custom one as Dave suggests. Probably best done with
a copy also, since reverse engineering the format might be tedious if you
have various numeric types on the sheets like General, Currency or other
special number formats.

Thanks for the head start.

By the way: I wouldn't consider just coming up with some format to hide the
values - a simple selection of all the cells and Edit | Clear | Formats would
instantly reveal the original values.


Wouldn't be a problem. As I mentioned initially, I am only going to
print what I intend to show. I am not giving anyone the file.
