Default White font not showing text when highlighted across multiple cells


Just upgraded from 2010 to 2013 and whenever I highlight multiple cells cells that have white font (white to "hide" the data, but easily accessible to change the data quickly), the data will not show up. It will only show up when I click in that single cell. Can I do something to fix this? I need to be able to see the data in the cells when I highlight.

Does it work if you color the cell and then make the font the same color? I will check on my computer with 2013 for a solution tomorrow

You are right. Very same issue with different colors.
This must be a new "feature" in 2013 since it wasn't
An issue In earlier versions. I tried a couple of things
And without going the vba route I think that your best
Bet is to store your data you want to change on a
Separate worksheet and reference it on the user
Worksheet. This way you can hide it with the same
Method and change it on the other worksheet
Easily. (sorry for strange capitalization I'm typing this
On my phone)
Let me know if you have any other questions
