How to Unhide All Rows in Excel

Hidden rows in an Excel spreadsheet can be made visible again using shortcuts, menu options, or the ribbon. Follow these methods to unhide all rows or specific rows in your worksheet.

Unhiding All Rows Using a Shortcut

1. Open Your Worksheet: Launch Excel and navigate to the worksheet with hidden rows.
2. Select Entire Worksheet:
   • Press Ctrl+A (Windows) or Command+A (Mac).
   • Alternatively, click the “Select All” button at the top-left corner of the worksheet.

   • Press Ctrl+Shift+9 (Windows or Mac) to unhide all rows.
4. Alternative Method: Right-click any selected cell and choose Unhide from the context menu.

Unhiding All Rows Using the Ribbon

2. Access Hide & Unhide Options:
   • Click Format in the “Cells” group.
   • Select Hide & Unhide > Unhide Rows from the dropdown menu.

Unhiding Specific Rows

1. Select Rows Around Hidden Rows:
   • Click the row header above the hidden row(s).
