Excel normally displays formula results rather than the formulas themselves. This makes worksheets clean and easy to read, but it can be inconvenient when you need to check calculations, troubleshoot errors, or understand how an unfamiliar workbook works.
Blank cells can be easy to miss, especially in large worksheets. Highlighting them makes missing data easier to spot and helps you review a spreadsheet faster. In this guide, you'll see **how to highlight blank cells in Excel** with conditional formatting, use formulas to define blank cells, and automate the task with Python and Free Spire.XLS.

Waterfall charts are one of the most powerful tools in Excel for visualizing how a starting value is affected by a series of positive and negative changes. Whether you're tracking a budget, analyzing profit and loss, or explaining sales performance, a waterfall chart (also known as a bridge chart) turns a sea of numbers into a clear, compelling story.
When working with Excel data, you may need to **check if a cell contains specific text** to find keywords, filter records, or categorize information. For example, you can identify products marked as out of stock or highlight cells containing specific terms.
When an Excel worksheet contains hundreds of rows, scrolling through raw data makes reports difficult to read. Grouping rows in Excel organizes large datasets into expandable and collapsible sections so you can navigate summaries without losing detail. Depending on how your data is structured, you can group rows manually, use automatic tools, or apply grouping in PivotTables.
If you share financial reports, business templates, or data analysis worksheets, you may not want other users to easily view or modify the formulas behind the results. Hiding formulas helps keep the underlying calculations out of view while still displaying their results.
While Excel is primarily built for numbers and tables, it's also a surprisingly common container for images, charts, logos, and product photos. Whether you've inherited a workbook packed with embedded graphics or you've built a dashboard filled with charts, knowing how to **export images from Excel** is an essential skill.
