How to Hide and Unhide Sheets in Excel
Learn the quickest way to hide and unhide tabs in Excel.
Why do worksheets in Excel need to be hidden?
When working with excel workbooks that contain multiple tabs, it is often easier to navigate through the file when less important tabs are hidden. By doing so, the user can focus on the most important sheets without getting overwhelmed with the less important or irrelevant sheets.
Hiding sheets in Excel
Step 1: Select the tab you wish to hide
You can also select multiple sheets by pressing and holding the “CTRL” (“Command” in case of Mac) key and selecting all the sheets. If you want to select multiple sheets that are one after the other, select the first sheet, hold down the “SHIFT” key, and then select the last sheet.
Step 2: Right-click and select the ‘Hide’ option. The selected tab will be hidden.
Note:
- A hidden worksheet can be unhidden anytime and by any user.
- A workbook must contain more than one sheet to be able to hide sheets.
