How do you unhide "lost" cells?

If you hide columns in the excel spreadsheet, quite often they get lost and you can't find them again. where do I look for them once you have used the "unhide/hide" option and they still don't turn up.

Try selecting a load of rows, e.g. row 1 thru row 2500 and then go right click > unhide.

You may find them

Hi Renee

Hope you are well i can understwhere you are coming from, when you need to unhide rows or columns you find need to find which row or column that you need to unhide to do this look on the header for an example header D and header F

You will then need to select from column C to G then go the format menu and columns then click unhide this should bring back the unhidden ones, you can also right click on the column header and click unhide

hope this helps you

Excel tip:

Hide columns in an Excel 2010 Worksheet

If you don’t want part of the Excel worksheet to be visible or when you don’t want certain data to appear in print outs, then a simple solution is to temporarily hide a column or multiple columns.

Hiding a single column:

1)Right click on the column header of the column you want to hide (this is the grey bar along the top edge of the worksheet)
2)Choose Hide from the menu
3)This column will now be hidden from view

Hide more than one column:

1)In the column header drag select to highlight the columns you want hidden
2)Right click and choose Hide from the menu
