The most efficient and feature rich software is Exolution from Litexn. Check out www.Litexn.com
It does much more than just native Excel redaction. It does apply redactions at mass level and it has unique patent pending Sheet level duplicate identification and automatic redaction copy feature
Are you looking to redact certain words? Perhaps the Find and Replace feature will work here? You can use "###" as the Replace text. You can then run this against the entire sheet or workbook.
A macro could extend this functionality by searching a table of redacted words and repeating the Find and Replace functionality for each one of those words.
Hi,
You will find answers here, they supply excel redact tool http://anexsys.com/solutions/
It is important and because there are thousands of sheets too time consuming for manual redacting. Plus human error plays into it also. Anyway, there was a feature in Word a while back, just wondering if there is a redacting feature for excel.
That depends on why you are redacting something and how important it is that the redacted information not be discovered.
If you want to really and truly redact something, you need to do it on a hard copy. I don't trust any electronic solution, although there are some that claim to work.
