Okay... I'm an idiot. I have an Excel file and I'm interested in limiting the "area". Meaning, I ONLY have data in Columns A-H, and Rows 1-275. Therefore, I don't need any Rows or Columns outside of that range. Well, when I perform a Search, I can see it's calculating ALL cells in the sheet. I don't want to "hide" those other columns/rows. I want to completely ELIMINATE them. I did this once before, but I completely forget how. Any help?

Go to column 'I' and click the column header (the 'I' box at the top). Then, hit Ctrl+Shft+Left. Should highlight all columns that have data that you don't want. Then, right click the selected area, and click 'Delete'.
Go to row 276, and click the row header (the '276' box at the far left). Then, hit Ctrl+Shft+Down. Should highlight all rows that have data that you don't want. Then, right click the selected area, and click 'Delete'.
